Congratulations!
You've decided to add a Miniature Schnauzer to your family.

Trust me - your life will be enriched forever.



So, where will you go to buy your new Miniature Schnauzer puppy?
A Miniature Schnauzer Breeder? A Schnauzer Rescue Group? A Shelter? A Pet Store?


Hmmm... Let’s take a closer look at each one to help you better decide.

First, keep in mind that you thought long and hard before making the decision to add a Miniature Schnauzer puppy to your life.

You have made a commitment to exercise, train, feed, care, and love your new Miniature Schnauzer puppy, for the next 15 to 20 years.

Doesn't it then make sense that you would want to buy your new Miniature Schnauzer puppy from someone who also has this love for dogs and not from someone just wanting to make a quick buck?

Miniature Schnauzer Breeders


"All puppies are cute - but not all Miniature Schnauzer breeders are responsible"

If you're going to a Miniature Schnauzer breeder to find your new puppy, don't just go to any person that happens to be selling Miniature Schnauzers.

Do some homework first.

Make a list of questions and interview them. If they care about what they are doing and are breeding Miniature Schnauzers responsibly, they will be happy to answer your questions.

AND as responsible breeders, they will want to interview you, as well!

dog tip: Responsible breeders care about each dog they bring into the world and do their best to ensure they sell their dogs to responsible dog owners.



Before going to look at a breeder's Miniature Schnauzer puppies, call and ask them some questions over the phone. This will help you determine if you should even consider buying one of their Miniature Schnauzer puppies.

Always, do this first. It's way too hard to ask all the questions in person when you are enjoy little Schnauzer puppies licking and jumping all over you. Plus it's hard to say no thank you, if you don't like the answers or environment, because you'll fall in love with the puppies right away and want to take one home.

Get Answers to Some Basic Questions 1st




  • Why do they breed Miniature Schnauzers?
  • How long have they been breeding Schnauzers?
  • How many litters of Schnauzers did they have last year?
  • What makes their dam & sire good choices for breeding Miniature Schnauzers?
  • Are the puppies parents on site for you to see?
  • What vaccinations, de-worming, etc... have their Miniature Schnauzer puppies had?
  • What type of health guarantee is offered?

The responsible Miniature Schnauzer breeder will be able to answer all these questions with ease and is happy to do so. Also, if you're buying a purebred Miniature Schnauzer, familiarize yourself with the AKC Miniature Schnauzer Breed Standard.




Ask even more questions upon your arrival to view the Miniature Schnauzer puppies they have for sale:

  • What are the health concerns of the Miniature Schnauzer?
  • How does your Miniature Schnauzer puppy get registered?
