The first few weeks of life, our puppies are handled on a limited basis so the mother can do

her job to her best ability.  The pups are inspected daily to make sure they are growing well

and have not developed any problems in the last 24 hours.  At about 3 weeks we begin to

cuddle them individually and shower them with affection.  This helps them become more

independent from mother and their littermates.  At about 5 weeks my children begin to play

with them both individually and as a group to promote stimulation and encourage their

enjoyment of fraternizing with people.  At 6 weeks old, they are all weaned and eating good

quality dog food.  They are taken out to play with my children each day in the grass and given

a bath frequently.  They will begin to develop unique personalities and they love the attention.  

Soon they will follow you everywhere you go.  They will enjoy rolling around in the grass

playing with their littermates.

 

All of our dogs and their puppies are raised in our home, we do not have a “kennel” for the

schnauzers to live in.  They have the same comforts as we do.  We are “casual” breeders. 

We do not produce many litters each year.  This is just a hobby for us because we love the

breed and wish to share the joy they bring with others.

 

If needed we will ship one of our puppies to individuals who are not within a fair driving

distance from our home.  Please see the link labeled "Buying a Puppy" for additional

information.  

 

All payment transactions must be in the form of CASH or Credit Card.  Credit card payments

are accepted through the online Pay Pal system and will require an additional 3% fee. 

WE NO LONGER ACCEPT CHECKS.  A minimum deposit of 50% of the listed price is required

to hold a puppy in your name.  The final payment is due before the puppy is 7 weeks old.  

The deposit is fully refundable until the puppy reaches 6 weeks of age.  After the puppy

becomes six weeks old the deposit is non-refundable.  Puppies are eligible to go to their new

homes at the 7 week mark if local and at the 8 week mark if being shipped. Please see the link

 labeled "Buying a Puppy" for additional information.
