Priorities
We prioritize raising Miniature Schnauzer puppies to be very family-friendly. We believe that socialization and positive play are vital in shaping a puppy’s temperament and behavior. Therefore, we provide our puppies with plenty of opportunities to interact with people of all ages, including children. We expose them to different environments and experiences to help them become well-adjusted and confident dogs.
AKC Standards

AKC standards are a set of guidelines that describe the ideal Miniature Schnauzer in terms of size, weight, coat color, temperament, and overall appearance. By breeding our Miniature Schnauzer puppies to AKC standards, we aim to produce puppies that not only have a beautiful and distinctive appearance but also possess the traits that make Miniature Schnauzers excellent family pets.
