Due to the covid 19 we are not meeting in person with the puppies, until the puppies are ready to go at 8 weeks old and have had 2 series of vaccinations. This reduces the stress on puppies, and the risk of meeting new people. Since we are a state licensed breeder, we have to follow the guidelines recommended.
I totally understand if you do not want to do it that way. The only way we hold puppies is with a deposit.
You can check back with us when they are 8 weeks old, and if we still have any puppies, you can see them in person then. We are sorry for any inconvenience but that is the way it is being done now for the safety of buyer, seller or puppies.
Thank you for understanding.

Most puppies come with APRI registration, current shot/dewormings with records and puppy food sample. ACA registration is included with the microchip fee, also. If you want AKC registration, AKC will normally dual register an APRI puppy, by sending in a copy of the APRI registration papers. We do not provide AKC registration.
WE DO NOT HOLD PUPPIES WITHOUT A DEPOSIT & CONTACT
NOTICE: When multiple applications come in on the same puppy we contact the first approved application, and then move down the list. Some applications, take longer to verify. If they have missing information, this can delay your application. This is the fairest way we have found to place our puppies. Due to the high demand of puppies, our process has changed, a puppy is not held for you to decide, if no commitment is made by you the puppy is still for sale.
The first applicant is sent a deposit contract, usually within 2 hours then given 2 hours to make deposit once the contract was emailed to them. This is about a 4 hour process. If they fail it make the deposit then we move to the next application. Same process, some times we may go through 5 or 6 applications before someone makes a commitment. Once a deposit is made the puppy is no longer for sale it is "Sale Pending".
If the buyer fails to pick him up at 8 weeks or the arranged date, he would then again be offered to the next in line. I get a sizable deposit so that seldom happens unless some tragedy. If there are multiple people wanting the same puppy, after the first contact, the puppy is available if the first person did not make a commitment and request a deposit contract be emailed to them. If you are serious about a puppy, please make that clear. Don't say I have to talk to my spouse, then get upset, if someone else places a deposit before you. Once I send a contract (after you request it, I will not take a deposit from someone else). If this is unclear please ask questions.
I do my best to find the best most compatible homes for each puppy.
Final payment must be in cash at time of pick up.

We try to update pictures every two weeks, we do not take pictures daily, we do not do videos.
We never take pictures of a puppy unbathed, in order to bathe, dry and photograph a puppy we do the whole litter, so all puppies are retuned to mom, smelling the same. We don't want to upset mom, by taking puppies and then bringing them back smelling different. Often things can upset a mom and she can injure a puppy for unknown reasons. We keep our nursery area quite warm and drastic changes in temperature can make puppies sick, another reason we don't bother our young puppies, too often. There are times we have multiple litters of puppies and we never mix the puppies, so when handling one litter we don't handle another litter. Keep in mind, the families with deposits on the other puppies, also want pictures of their puppies, we try to be equally fair to all. We are taking every precaution to keep your puppy safe and healthy so he/she is ready to come home to you at the scheduled date. There are often times, that we had new moms whelping and we don't want to upset her, while shuffling neighboring puppies in and out. Please respect our routine. We had rather care for our babies, than to be taking excessive photo request and videos.

The Official Standard for the Miniature Schnauzer
GENERAL APPEARANCE The Miniature Schnauzer is a robust, active dog of terrier type, resembling his larger cousin, the Standard Schnauzer, in general appearance, and of an alert, active disposition.
Faults: Type – toyishness, ranginess or coarseness.
SIZE, PROPORTION, SUBSTANCE Size – From 12 to 14 inches. He is sturdily built, nearly square in proportion of body length to height with plenty of bone, and without any suggestion of toyishness. Disqualifications: dogs or bitches under 12 inches or over 14 inches.
HEAD Eyes – Small, dark brown and deep-set. They are oval in appearance and keen in expression.
Faults: Eyes light and/or large and prominent in appearance.
Ears – When cropped, the ears are identical in shape and length with pointed tips. They are in balance with the head and not exaggerated in length. They are set high on the skull and carried perpendicularly at the inner edges, with as little bell as possible along the outer edges. When uncropped, the ears are small and V-shaped, folding close to the skull.
Head – Strong and rectangular, its width diminishing slightly from ears to eyes, and again to the tip of the nose. The forehead is unwrinkled. The top skull is flat and fairly long. The foreface is parallel to the top skull, with a slight stop, and it is at least as long as the top skull. The muzzle is strong in proportion to the skull; it ends in a moderately blunt manner, with thick whiskers which accentuate the rectangular shape of the head.
Faults: Head coarse and cheeky.
The teeth meet in a scissors bite. That is, the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth in such a manner that the inner surface of the upper incisors barely touch the outer surface of the lower incisors when the mouth is closed.
Faults: Bite – Undershot or overshot jaw. Level bite.
NECK, TOPLINE, BODY Neck – Strong and well arched, blending into the shoulders, and with the skin fitting tightly at the throat.
Body – Short and deep, with the brisket extending at least to the elbows. Ribs are well sprung and deep, extending well back to a short loin. The underbody does not present a tucked up appearance at the flank. The backline is straight; it declines slightly from the withers to the base of the tail. The withers form the highest point of the body. The overall length from chest to buttock appears to equal the height at the withers.
Faults: Chest too broad or shallow in brisket. Hollow or roach back.
Tail – set high and carried erect. It is docked only long enough to be clearly visible over the backline of the body when the dog is in proper length of coat. A properly presented Miniature Schnauzer will have a docked tail as described; all others should be severely penalized.
Fault: Tail set too low.
FORE QUARTERS Forelegs are straight and parallel when viewed from all sides. They have strong pasterns and good bone. They are separated by a fairly deep brisket which precludes a pinched front. The elbows are close, and the ribs spread gradually from the first rib so as to allow space for the elbows to move close to the body.
Fault: Loose elbows.
The sloping shoulders are muscled, yet flat and clean. They are well laid back, so that from the side the tips of the shoulder blades are in a nearly vertical line above the elbow. The tips of the blades are placed closely together. They slope forward and downward at an angulation which permits the maximum forward extension of the forelegs without binding or effort. Both the shoulder blades and upper arms are long, permitting depth of chest at the brisket.
Feet – Short and round (cat feet) with thick, black pads. The toes are arched and compact.
HIND QUARTERS The hindquarters have strong-muscled, slanting thighs. They are well bent at the stifles. There is sufficient angulation so that, in stance, the hocks extend beyond the tail. The hindquarters never appear overbuilt or higher than the shoulders. The rear pasterns are short and, in stance, perpendicular to the ground and, when viewed from the rear, are parallel to each other.
Faults: Sickle hocks, cow hocks, open hocks or bowed hindquarters.
COAT Double, with hard, wiry, outer coat and close undercoat. The head, neck, ears, chest, tail, and body coat must be plucked. When in show condition, the body coat should be of sufficient length to determine texture. Close covering on neck, ears, and skull. Furnishings are fairly thick but not silky.
Faults: Coat too soft or too smooth and slick in appearance.
