In order to put down a deposit, you will need to contact us beforehand. Once you have contacted us, you will need to fill out the following Deposit Form . Puppies need to be paid for by the time they are 6 to 7 weeks old unless other arrangements have been made.

Once you have filled out the Deposit Form and submitted a deposit payment, you will receive an email confirmation that we are processing your order.

After you place a deposit I will contact you when a puppy, that is your color choice and gender, is born. I still won’t know what grown size they will be for a while.

Please note: You can place a deposit for a certain litter, but I’m going to go in the order/date I received your deposit. You could get bumped off or miss out on a puppy that was born before that litter. 

At this moment we have a large waitlist. Please visit our future litters page for more info on Upcoming Litters Page. . 

There are two options:

• In-person pick up at our farm.
• Have it flown to you with a flight nanny to your closest major airport (at an additional charge).

Please note: Shipping is an additional cost.

It all depends on the size of your puppy. If your puppy isn’t a teacup, the earliest is 8 weeks. For a teacup, depending on the size, it can range from 10 to 12 weeks (sometimes longer).

The Schnauzer comes in three sizes: Standard Schnauzer; Miniature Schnauzer; Giant Schnauzer.

• The Standard Schnauzer – known as the original schnauzer, were bred to guard the farm and keep the vermin at bay.
• The Miniature Schnauzer – because of its more compact size was able to ‘go to ground’ for prey. It is the most popular of the three sizes.
• The Giant Schnauzer – which had added jobs of pulling carts and used for police work.

Reputable breeders do not under-size Mini Schnauzers, for breeding purposes – nor do they market them as toys. Responsible breeders of purebred Schnauzers, Breed to Improve.

Responsible Breeders do not breed to make money!

Neither the so–called Toy Schnauzer or Teacup Schnauzer are recognized breed names. That is not to say, they are not available to buy, (and usually at a premium price), but they are not within the breed standard which is 12″ to 14″ inches tall.

If you are looking for a toy-sized dog or one smaller than 12 to 14 inches, you should probably consider another breed. See list of AKC Toy Breeds.

Miniature Schnauzers come in 3 colors: black, salt and pepper, and black and silver. These 3 colors are the only ones accepted under the breed standard.

• Salt and Pepper – The eyebrows, beard, and legs on a salt and pepper Schnauzer are gray or silver white. The gray is in various shades from almost silver white to almost black. This is the most popular and common color of the breed.
• Solid Black – Just as the description implies, an entirely black Miniature Schnauzer from head to toe to wiggly butt. However, the solid black Schnauzer may sometimes have a small white chest patch.
• Black and Silver – The markings of a black and silver Miniature Schnauzer follow the same pattern as the salt & pepper Schnauzer, except both the topcoat and undercoat are solid black. Beautiful silver white color accents areas of face (beard and eyebrows) and on legs, feet, and furnishings.
• White Schnauzers have more recently been granted admission to many show rings in some countries, but white still remains a disqualification in the USA.

Brown, chocolate, liver, or parti-color schnauzers do not meet breed standards. These dogs are not allowed to compete in the show ring, even if they are registered purebreds.

The breed standard is a set of guidelines used so breeders produce animals that conform to the specifics of the breed. Breed standards are devised by breed associations or breed clubs to help define the ideal animal or the blueprint of a breed.

Breed standards may vary from association to association, and from country to country, even for the same species and breed. There is no one format for breed standards across all species, and breed standards do change and are updated over time.

So ethical breeders do not under-size or change the Schnauzer colors or size to market them as a rare color, or teacup size for profit, as that is deviating from the standard. Serious breeders breed to preserve the breed as it was intended by its originators.

As far as other pets, it depends. If you have hamsters or birds, your Schnauzer should be introduced to them slowly, if at all. Miniature Schnauzers were bred to rid the home of vermin. So it is probably not a good idea to have your Schnauzer unsupervised around these types of pets. However, Schnauzers get along fine with other dogs and even cats.

When it comes to children, the breed does well with older children or teenagers. The Miniature Schnauzer usually does not do well with very young children and may display or demonstrate an instinctual reaction to their high pitched screams and running. However, Miniature Schnauzers who have been raised among small children from the onset, seem to do well with them.

In a word – YES!

But Miniature Schnauzers bark at things. Like a stranger, UPS truck, etc… They do not bark for no reason. They bark to alert you that there is something going on and want to make you aware of it.

If you have a dog that barks incessantly, then you have a whole other problem all together. It could be your dog is totally bored and not getting enough exercise or it may be a disorder of some type. How to Stop a Dog From Barking”.

Just because a breeder has AKC papers it is important to remember that the AKC is simply a registry. It is not a guarantee of quality, good health, or temperament of a dog. Hopefully by answering these most asked questions about the Miniature Schnauzer, you will be armed with the information you need to help you choose the perfect puppy for your family.
