PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE BUYING A PUPPY ... From us or anyone else
Why do some people's puppies cost more than others? Consider what you are paying for a puppy, who ever you purchase it from. The breeder is not making a 100% profit from the puppy, or are they? We have to care for our adult dogs their entire lifetime. It may cost a lot, or for some people, not much of an investment. Also there is the cost that comes with raising your puppy. Our dogs are our pets and we take every effort to make sure they are happy and healthy. Shots, toys, treats, clean blankets and living area, food, paperwork expense, and the time and effort taken to make sure that all possible hazzards are avoided. As well as regular vet check ups and dental cleaning. Not to mention the time involved in each task, not everyone is that way. If you find a puppy that is priced conciderably less than most, ask yourself why. It is probably that the owner hasnt invested a lot of money or effort to raise them, or they are desperate to get rid of the puppy for some reason. Poor quality perhaps. If that is the kind of puppy you are willing to invest in, thats your choice. But if you are looking for a quality puppy, from a reputable person, expect to pay what the puppy is worth. You get what you pay for. There are good reputable breeders out there. Experience and integrity are priceless, and sometimes hard to come by. If you would like us to recomend or give references on another breeder, we will be happy to as long as it is someone we know of.
Who ever you are considering as the person raising your new puppy, ask as many questions as you need to to feel comfortable. Most people that are honest will be willing to answer any question you have because they have nothing to hide. Ask to see the parents, the paperwork or the place where they are raised. If anyone isnt willing to do that, it should be a red flag for you. We try to update the parents photos at least twice a year so you can see that they are still just as beautiful as when they were younger. Not many do that, or are willing to photo themselves or their home or kennel facility. Ask for those photos if you feel that the person is questionable or if how your puppy is raised is an important factor for you.
Unlike some who claim not to be a puppy mill, we truely are not. All of our puppies are home raised and loved and come backed by over 20 years experience with raising mini schnauzers, no other dog breed. We do have a very nice house for our dogs that do need to be quarentined, or kept seperated for some reason. But all of our dogs know what it is like to be in a loving home. You are more than welcome to come and visit to see for yourself how our puppies are raised. Or ask for photos of anything here that you are curious about.
Each puppy will be current on shots & worming, and flea treatment when age allows. Anything that is best for them is done with the supervision and recomendation of our vet. Boswell Animal Kare in Boswell Oklahoma. Each will come with his food, favorite toys, proper paperwork & pedigree, a health certificate for shipping, vaccination record, a CD of his baby and family photos if you ask, and anything else that belongs to that puppy while he was here. And on ocassion we have donations of toys or blankets and those go with them on ocasion. Sometimes I make a blankie for them. He will have been started on potty training with puppy pee pads, as well as outside routine, doggie door and crate training if shipping is needed. Estimated size, coat quality, type, show quality, breeding quality of each puppy will be an estimate from experience and past puppies, and is not guaranteed. We raise schnauzers as pets and for our pleasure, nothing more is ever implied.
But you can be assured that your puppy is garanteed from debilitating or fatal genetic defects that will affect your dogs quality of life. Each puppy will be vet checked within 24 hours of flying home to you. You must take your puppy to your vet for his first wellness check up within the first week of receiveing him for this garantee to be valid. Contracted diseases, environmental issues, parasites, or elective surgery complications as well as shipping and vet costs are not included in this garantee. You will have a copy of our guarantee in your puppy pack with his paperwork. Last but not least, your puppy will also come with our lifetime support. If you have any questions, problems, or comments we will make every effort to help you, call us anytime. And we love to get photos & updates of our adult puppies! These puppies come from our heart to yours. We feel we will be a part of your family from now on, and will always love to hear from you in the future. Like we said, its not a job, we have them because we love them and we love to see people have a happy puppy experience!

REGISTRATION CHOICES This picture is Zena, our Great Pyreneese. She is not registered, but we love her dearly. She is very sweet, and gentle and loves everyone. She helps us watch over our puppies and ponies and keeps them from harm. That is worth more than anything in my book. And though for some people the paperwork is important, it has very little to do with the kind of life you have with your dog. Most papers just sit in a drawer, or get lost. Some of our dogs are dual or triple registered. That means that some are registered with more than one registration club. We prefer APRI primarily. APRI is an awesome club, wonderful at keeping a good record of our pedigrees, and offer many member services, and a fair price. They do not believe in the interference of our dog raising techniques, they just do their job... record my pedigrees and send me a copy when I request it in the form of litter registration. Nothing more is every required from a registration club. We feel that we are capable of taking care of our dogs without registration club policing our practices. You can be the judge of our actions, breeder integrity and dog quality. So if your concern is a registration club rather than puppy quality, we may not be your choice. AKC is no longer used here. We prefer not to support an organization that is legally capable of coming in and taking your dogs if they so choose. Nor do we support an organization that supports an organization that hassles just about every animal raiser in the US. PETA They have fair to poor service, and ridiculously high prices. And AKC does not represent dog quality or breeder integrity, nor do they represent the end puppy buyer. It is only a registration club, and nothing more. Unless you are showing in AKC sanctioned shows, that registration is useless. We feel that an organization that hassles humans for the sole purpose of monetary gain is not worth our investment. But will be happy to provide you with a pedigree of the parents so that you may submit them to AKC for registration provided both the parents are AKC eligable. AKC will now register your puppy with any club registration, and a pedigree showing they contain akc registered dogs. Most do. Otherwise we will try our best to make sure that you get a happy, social, and well-adjusted puppy to have as your family member for many years of love and companionship.

This is Tami, one of Daddy's little princesses. Rescue Projects But not all dogs have the good fortune to be raised a princess. We are involved in local rescue efforts for unwanted dogs. Mostly we take Schnauzers, but there are others on occassion. You will notice sometimes on our adult pages that we offer adults that need new homes and they come from different situations. These are either unwanted pet dogs, or dogs from kennel dispersals. We cannot bare to see them kept in cages until euthanized so we take them, clean them up and vaccinate them, have them vet checked and/or doctored. Some need a little socializing but they will get a crash course here! But some are still in their current homes. If you are interested in helping place any of these adults, your kindsness is greatly appreciated. We evaluate each dog as accurately as possible to place them in the correct home situation. If you will be honest with me on your intentions, I will help you find the dog that will best suit your needs and fit your purpose.

Did you know that schnauzers are solar powered!

This is some of our gang in December 06. Isnt this a Motely looking crew? They are on their own sofa for a change. They love their little kiddy sofa from Wally World. Schnauzers are like kids and have their own likes and dislikes. If you have kids, they will definately be your favorites. They dont ask to borrow the car, you dont have to buy school clothes every year or pay for college! They will however steal your coffee if you leave it low enough. I always say that anything on the floor is fair game for puppies. Michael wonders why he can never find his socks. (C:
