New Puppy Now What? Optional Microchipping Contact Us Search Our Site Richardson Family From Kentucky! Hi Rebecca, I just wanted to write to let you know that our new puppy Remington Scout Richardson is doing great. After leaving Wendy’s, I sat in the backseat and let my son Connor hold the puppy. He regained his composure and felt more included. He and the puppy bonded all the way home. He seems to have fit right in. He is doing well with eating and the bathroom. We bought him a little bed that he loves and sleeps in all night without wandering. He returns to his bed many times through the day for little naps on his own. Both “Remi” and Ranger run for the back door and love to explore the backyard together. They are getting along very well. Ranger seems to be very tentative with Remington. He is a beautiful puppy and I have told facebook how wonderful your puppies are after receiving several comments and questions about him. After he has grown a little more and had another haircut, I will sign your guestbook so that everyone can see him. He is super sweet and very mild mannered, just like you said. He stays right by my side all of the time. Thank you for being a wonderful breeder! Sincerely, Richardson Family Owners of Remington Scout Richardson Wilson Family From Tennessee Becky and Billy- Back from the vet.... Soot weighed in @ 2.4 lbs and everything went great! I will take him back in 4 weeks for he additional boosters. He enjoyed the ride and really was perfect! I believe there will be a very long, happy home for our new baby! My daughter loves to dress up our babies... So one of the pictures attached is her having a little fun. I love him very much! Thank you for bringing such a precious boy into my life! UPDATE........ Rebecca & Billy, Hello from Soot's family here in Jonesborough, Tennessee! Happy Thanksgiving! Soot went last week for his check up and his shots. He weighed in at 4 pounds and 5 ounces. He is doing so well, we even went to the Kingsport, Tennessee annual Animal Shelter Animile Race. He is my constant companion! But the entire family sure loves Soot. I have had many people stop and ask about him. Few seem to have seen a black schnauzer. I always tell them where he came from. You should atleast get many hits on your site for the people I tell. Thank you again for bringing us our "little" guy! Barb Wilson ~ Owner of Soot Son of Ritzy & Koda Hudson Family From Kentucky Rebecca, Just wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying Georgia. She and Libby are having so much fun getting to know each other. Libby is ten months old now and she is really enjoying her new playmate, as are we :) Here are some pics I took today of them playing in the yard. Thank you again. Never realized how having two schnauzers can be even more fun than having one :) Our family is now complete, thank you Rebecca :) Lara Hudson owner of Libby & Georgia! Sanz Family From Florida! Hello Rebecca, I have been meaning to send you some photo's of Carmen. She must be weighing about 10 Lbs. by now and I will be having her spayed sometime in the near future (She had her first heat cycle on June 20th). Carmen has brought so much joy into our lives, my husband and I just can't imagine life without her. She is her groomers favorite client and he is amazed at how well behaved she is, considering her age. Carmen is like a little person dressed like a Schnauzer!!! Keep up the good work in breeding such wonderful "little people." Take care and best wishes, Priscilla Sanz. Owners of Carmen. (Daughter of Hershey & Hank) Dybala Family From Ohio! Hey Rebecca and Billy, We adore Rocky Raccoon. He is such a sweet boy! He loves our other puppy, Penny Lane. They play together all the time. If separated for more than an hour, Rocky begins to "sing" and yowl. Compared to Penny, who we refer to as "the brat", Rocky is so sweet We have nicknamed him "Prince Charming". He is always available to give puppy kisses and cuddle. He has settled in quite nicely. Everyone raves about how cute he is and we always tell them we got him from Trammell's Quality Schnauzers. Even the vet-nurse has said he is the sweetest, most adorable puppy. We all love him so much. Thanks for the wonderful addition to our family! Rocky Raccoon will be getting his very first haircut in a few days, wish him luck! Attached are a few pictures. Best Regards, The Dybala Family from Ohio Owners of Rocky Raccoon! (Son of Callie & Koda) Mr. Simmons From Georgia! Becky & Billy, I'm just sending you a few updated photos of Koa.. His color is sooooo unbelievable, I found him a grooming lady who he went to yesterday and she fell in love with him, she called all her friends to come up to her store to see him and his markings.. So when I got there it was a group of people standing around him and taking pictures.. I was like what is going on, and she said she was sorry she had to call her friends and family to see Koa and his markings.. I think he was really scared because of all that attention at once, but once I got there he was fine, I was worried for a minute.. But I guess that’s the kind of treatment you get when your just that cute Koa.. LOL!! His eyes have changed, to like a nice hazel green, the camera always makes his eyes red so you can't see the color.. But he is the best and he brings soooo much joy into my life and home.. Potty training is great, create training is awesome, he goes in there to sleep on his own with out having to be forced.. He sleeps in his create when he don't want to be bothered and he sleeps in his bed when he is napping.. I seen him one time, I had his create closed and he was trying to pull the door open with his teeth trying to get in there.. He is soooo smart, spoiled and stubborn.. LOL!! He is a biter with everyone else and he likes to growl LOL!! NOT at me, I don't play that.. But he is a sweet heart, he sleeps through the night, only time he fuss is when he goes in his cage when I leave for work.. Thanks again, Alfred Simmons in Georgia Owner of Koa (Son of Callie & Koda) Hurd Family From Kentucky Hello! My husband and I bought a wonderful little dog from you back in March of this year, and she has truly brought alot of joy into our family. We named her Molly, she is still very petite, but she loves to eat. She must run off all her calories. She seems to be a very healthy little thing. She is so feisty and loves to see visitors. I can't explain how happy she gets. She has also done really well with potty training. We both work thru the day and we leave her out to wonder in the kitchen and living room. We have done this for about two weeks now and like I said she has done rather well. She meets me at the door with kisses and all ready to go outside. I thought I would share a few pictures with you. I thought you would enjoy it. She has had a few trims at the groomer, but I took her today and got all her fuzzy little hair cut off for the summer. I know she had to be hot, but she is a beauty with it cut off also. Thank you, Amy and Byron Hurd Owners of Molly Bentley/Johnson Family From Kentucky Hi Rebecca, I wanted to send you some pics of Sadie and Ralphie. Ralphie is huge--he weighs about 25 pounds; Sadie is small--she's about 17 pounds. They love outside of course and Ralphie loves to eat. I had to take Sadie to the vet last month for her shots and she had been acting funny--laying in bed, not eating much, not jumping up. He said he thought she had a bulging disk in her back and gave her some medicine. It helped, but it's hard to keep her calm and prevent her from jumping. Ralphie is just a big love bug--I know you told me that male dogs were so much more loving than females, but I didn't realize until we got him--he loves hugs and kisses, while Sadie is more reserved. I also wanted to ask you about any advice you could give me on finding Ralphie a girlfriend. He'll be a year old pretty soon and I don't even know when he should have a girlfriend. I'm probably going to get another one soon and I always look at yours first--I wouldn't even buy off anyone else. Jewel Bentley & Todd Johnson From Kentucky Owners of Sadie, Ralphie, and now Lucie! Sadie is from Roxy/Walker, Ralphie is from Roxy/Midnight & Lucie is from Jet/Lil Man. Hammond Family From Kentucky * Jonas had his ears cropped, what a difference * Rebecca, I know that you probably on hear from people who have bought a pet from when there is a problem. I just wanted to email you some pics of "Jonas Walker" who we purchased from you on our way back to Ashland, Kentucky from Gatlinburg @ Thanksgiving. He was born to Roxy and Walker on October 2nd. He has been a great pet to all of us and has been great with the kids....he does like to chew up paper, but at least he has never touched any furniture or other items. At any rate, thanks for selling our newest family member to us....it was a great choice on our part!!! Thanks, Chris Hammond from Ashland, Kentucky Owners of Jonas Walker. (Son of Roxy & Walker) Johnson Family From Tennessee Just wanted to update you on the new addition to our family. Sam is doing great!! We love him so much and know that we made the right choice. Sam loves Reese my 4 1/2 yr old son. They are two peas in a pod. Sam cries when Reese gets out of his sight. They are big buddies which is exactly what I was wanting. He has been a wonderful addition to our family. Even though we have only had him for a week I could not imagine our lives without him. Again, thank you so much. We are so happy!! We would love to be a reference for you anytime!!! Jennifer & Reese Johnson Owners of Sam. (Son of Lady & Levi) Bain Family From Florida Thank you again for the puppies. They were great on the trip back to Florida. They are now down in Estero Florida with my parents living it up. Here are some pictures of the new parents with the puppies. The white female?s name is Blossom and the black female?s name is Jasmine. All the Best, Patty Bain ~ Florida Owners of Blossom and Jasmine ~ December 2008 UPDATE ~ October 20th, 2009 Rebecca & Billy, I can?t believe we have had them almost a year now. The girls continue to be a great source of enjoyment for us. They?re not only great company for me when Chuck is gone on business, they are quite the welcoming committee when he gets home. They miss him when he is gone. Sincerely, Karen Bain ~ Florida Happy 1st Birthday Blossom & Jasmine! Maness Family From Kentucky I just wanted to take a moment and say a big THANK YOU for the wonderful addition to our family! Beasley is absolutely beautiful. I can't believe how incredible the whole adoption experience was! From the weekly emails and picture updates (my two little ones LIVED for those!!) to the unforgettable day when we drove 5 hours to pick up little Beasley, I will always be thankful we got our puppy from you. I was also impressed at the AKC packet and information you had ready for me when I got there! WOW!!! We were totally impressed. Beasley is settling in to our family very nicely. With the passing of our 15 year old schnauzer, Murphy, our family was really lost without a schnauzer to love. After meeting you through your website, I knew we'd found the right place, and couldn't wait to visit "Schnauzer Heaven!" Beasley is a great traveler, and he makes friends everywhere he goes. We're in the midst of potty training, which is also going very well. We're very blessed to have Beasley in our lives, and I hope to send you more pictures very soon. Thanks again for our baby schnauzer, and I know we'll see you again! Sincerely, The Maness Family (Murray, KY) Owners of Beasley Perkins Family From Kentucky Hi, I thought that I would share one of Landy's Christmas pictures with you. He has brought a lot of joy to our family. My daughter said that he was the best present that she received. He has a great personality and his potty training is going great. Thanks for meeting us. UPDATED Photo Jan. 10th 2010 Below! Happy Holidays Kim Perkins & Family Owners of Landy Perkins Rawlings Family From Kentucky We purchased Tanner when he was 6 weeks old. His health and check up have been great. He is now almost one year old with a beautiful liver color and a personality beyond any. He loves people (especially children). We are considering purchasing another schnauzer from the Trammells. We would not hesitate to recommend the Trammells to anyone, they are great. We love our little boy and yes he is very spoiled. June & Wilson Rawlings Owners of Tanner Rawlings (Son of Ginger & Midnight) Wagner Family From Tennessee puppies from other breeders. We are very happy that we have the both of them. They are the best of friends and love each other so much. I can't imagine having one without the other. Harley and Hutch were both in excellent health. Rebecca did a wonderful job sending e-mails and pictures of the both of them to keep us up to date and give us a chance to watch them grow. I still find myself going in and checking the website to see the puppies. We highly recommend Trammell's Quality Schnauzers. The Wagners Owners of Harley & Hutch Sirry Family From Kentucky We picked Reno and Jada (my mom's puppy) up and they were so clean and fresh smelling and they were actually the most beautiful puppies we have seen in a while. They were so well taken care by Rebecca, & very social for 6 weeks old. They both had a clean bill of health when they were taken to the vet. Reno was just seen at the vet again and still is with a clean bill of health. We are so happy that we found Trammell's Quality Schnauzers, we can not wait to add another one to our family. Sirry Family Owners of Reno & Jada (mother owns) (Son & Daughter of Cagney & Midnight) Tabitha Stamper from Kentucky Tucker he is doing very well and becoming very spoiled, but I love him!! The vet said that Tucker was a very healthy & active pup and everything looked great! He is such a sweet heart!! Thank you so much for him and being online for someone to find such a beautiful breed of dog. I have been house training him and he is doing great. Just the other night he went to his bed all by him self and stayed there all night, I was so proud that I almost cried! Tabitha Stamper Owner of Tucker (Son of Zoey & Midnight) Michael & Donna Fox from Michigan We took Ceasar to the vet?s for a puppy wellness check and the vet said ?He is a healthy, happy, well tempered puppy. I wouldn?t hesitate to buy another puppy from them as it is more than obvious they take excellent care of their dogs and puppies.? We tell everyone who asks us about him where we got him, and they mostly say ?You drove to Kentucky for a puppy!? and we tell them ?YES!? and we are glad that we did! Thanks so much to you and Billy for meeting us in Somerset as it worked out wonderful. Michael and Donna Fox Owners of Ceasar, Duke of Brighton as well as Petunia & Anestasia (Ceasar is the son of Ginger & Tyson, Petunia is the daughter of Johnnie & Midnight, and Anestasia is the daughter of Peaches & Midnight) Mindy Denney from Kentucky Rebecca takes such wonderful care of her puppies. At the well check up, the vet said he was a very healthy little guy and was well taken care. He's been doing great with housebreaking and a joy to have around. I would recommend Trammell's Quality Schnauzers to anyone looking for a perfect new addition. I would buy another from her if I could! Mindy Denney Owner of Boomer Manda Rumola from New York Tanner is such a doll. It is so awesome watching him play. It's so cute. Joey is so funny; when Tanner is sleeping and he moves, Joey will run and pick him up and say - puppy woke up mommy, puppy woke up, but he really didn't - Joey just woke him up so he could hold him. It is really cute. He actually is doing very well with going potty outside. Manda Rumola & Family Owners of Tanner, and now Maddie! (Tanner is the son of Hershey & Midnight and Maddie is the daughter of Jet & Lil Man) Brian & Beverly Ingram From Tennessee If anyone is interested in buying a schnauzer from Trammell's Quality Schnauzers, please do not hesitate. We have know Becky and Billy for over 5 years and have bought many wonderful schnauzers from them. As breeders and schnauzer lovers, we couldn't recommend anyone better. They are all smart, beautiful, and top notch in quality! All had perfect vet checks, and our vets whole staff always want to keep them when they are there. Ha. Keep them in mind when adding a new puppy (or 2, or 3) to your home. You won't regret it. We sure don't!!! Thanks guys!!- Brian & Beverly Ingram (Ingrams Schnauzers, Crossville, TN) Owners of: Cagney, Lucy, Conway, Megan, Hank, Walker, Sydney, Grace, Froggie, & Rocky just to name a few....

The photos must be a full front view as well as a side view of the puppy. All variations of the Liver color (Liver, Liver Tan, Liver Pepper), all Parti colors as well as White and Wheaton must include photos with the AKC paper work. You will also need to be sure to label the back of each photo with the litter registration number, date of birth and name you are registering the puppy in. **You should address the envelope to AKC and mark it with: "ATTN: Special Services" in order for your paper work to be processed and returned promptly. Liver Liver Tan Liver Pepper Black Black and Silver Wheaten White Salt and Pepper Parti* 123 124 498 007 016 224 199 167 038 *Above Are AKC Color Codes* What's in a Color? Written By Chris Davis There seems to be little that sparks as much controversy or ?myth-understanding? than the discussion of ?accepted? schnauzer colors. The reality is that it comes down to an understanding of genetics and the power these exert over our dog?s hair follicles. In this article I will attempt to clear up any confusion about the various colors and the genetic forces they demonstrate. History: It is undisputed that in the beginning, Miniature Schnauzers were developed by ?breeding down? or reducing the size of the Standard Schnauzer by cross breeding the Standard with various other breeds of dogs. There is some question as to which breeds of dogs exactly were used but it has been said that likely candidates are Affenpinchers, Poodles, Brussels Griffon, Miniature Pincher and among some lesser known sources, further speculation is that there has also been Pomeranian as well as some other smaller, toy-sized breeds. While the original intention was to breed for a ?scaled-down version? of the Standard Schnauzer in every way (build, temperament, instinct to ?rat? and coloring), human beings? less-than-perfect understanding of genetics at that time (1880?s) shows in the concept to limit the ?acceptable? colors to those of the Standard Schnauzer, despite clearly using dogs of differing colors (Poodle coat variations being among the strongest example) in the creation of the breed. Nothing makes this lack of understanding clearer than the original mistake of classifying the Black & Silver as a Salt & Pepper for enough years that once the mistake was discovered and understood, it was far too late to rescind the registrations of dogs who either were or produced that particular color. The Standard Schnauzer only has 2 colors, Black and Salt & Pepper. It appears that it wasn?t until breeders realized that this Black & Silver color bred ?true? when 2 dogs of this coat color were bred together, that it was most certainly a coloration of it?s own, genetically speaking. Also if we look back at the first recorded studbooks from Germany, we will find that the Salt & Pepper actually was recorded less often that the other colors, including some of the controversial colors as well as some that are rarely seen even today including but not limited to Red, Yellow and Blue. Inheritance: It would probably be wise at this point to say a few words on inheritance so that when we start talk more in depth about the colors, the vehicle for passing on various genes is understood. This is an extremely simplified explanation simply for the purposes of our discussion. Recessive: If a genetic trait is recessive, a dog needs to inherit two copies of the gene for the trait to be expressed, or seen. Thus, both parents have to be carriers of a recessive trait in order for an offspring to express or show that trait. If both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance with each offspring to show the recessive trait. Double Recessive: If a dog shows a color that is known to be recessive, then they have inherited the gene from both parents making it double recessive and if that dog is bred to another that shows the same recessive color then that color will always ?breed true?, meaning they will only produce puppies of that color. So Black & Silver is double recessive and bred to another Black & Silver will only have Black & Silver Puppies because the only genes the parent have to contribute are Black & Silver. (See table below.) Pink font indicates mother?s genetic contribution and blue, the father?s. The recessive genes will always ?mask? or override dominant genes when inherited from both parents. Dominant: If a genetic trait is dominant, a dog only needs to inherit one copy of the gene for the trait to be expressed. The dominat gene can be ?masked? by the doubling of recessive genes. For example, all Mini Schnauzers carry the genes to be Salt & Pepper but if they inherit the genes to be White from both parents, the Salt & Pepper is covered or ?hidden? and the dog?s coat is White. Simple Dominant: This means that if one gene is present it will manifest fully, and if two are present it manifests no differently than with one. As an example take a S&P male with no White gene being carried bred to a White female. Since he has no White gene and she had a masked S&P gene, the resulting puppies will all be S&P (but will also all carry for the White gene), provided no other matching recessive genes are carried and passed by the parents. Dominant Direct Inheritance: Genes that are dominant direct inheritance cannot be "hidden" or ?carried?. They must be directly inherited from a parent. They cannot ?skip? a generation. An example is a puppy that is ?One Color? (see explanation paragraph and color table in section on color below), one of the parents must also be ?One Color? (not necessarily the same base color). Homozygous: Homozygous means that they have doubled up dominant genes thus ensuring they can produce no other color. Example is homozygous ?One Color? Black, meaning all puppies from this dog will be Black. One cannot ensure ?One Color? Chocolate because brown-base is itself recessive, thus requiring the brown-base recessive gene from both parents, recessive genes cannot be homozygous. Further, in order to be homozygous, both of the homozygous dog?s parents have to be that color, but the flipside is not true?just because both of a dog?s parents are Black, it does not necessarily make the dog homozygous. The exception to this is if the dog?s parents are both homozygous themselves, then all their offspring must be homozygous. Heterozygous: Heterozygous is the opposite of homozygous. It means that the dominant gene is not doubled up and the dog is carrying ?hidden? or recessive gene(s), which can be expressed in the proper mating. To further complicate matters, the various color genes, called alleles are carried on a DNA strand in specific spots called Locus (plural loci) like notches on a stick. So this means that one dog can have several different ?notches? on their DNA stick and it is not just a matter of whether they have this gene and not that one but also how the different genes affect one another. For example, let?s say we have a Black dog that is heterozygous. ?K? represents the color black genetically on the DNA strand so we will use that as well, Capital ?K? means Black and little ?k? means not black. So our Heterozygous Black dog is Kk at the locus or ?notch? for black. Bred to another heterozygous Black, the following combinations are possible: So obviously the possible combinations are 25% homozygous Black, 50% heterozygous Black and 25% not Black. So if the dog is not Black, what color is it? This is where the other ?notches? come into play. The dog will have other genes to determine what color they will be when they are not another color. It appears however, as though all Mini Schnauzers carry for Salt & Pepper and that it can be masked or hidden by other genes and when the other genes fail to be expressed, then the S&P gene fulfills the need. At this point let?s leave this subject where it stands and move on to the colors themselves. Colors: So now let?s explore the various colors we find in the Miniature Schnauzer. Firstly, for the purposes of clarity, let?s describe the genes a little differently for the purposes of this discussion. A dog with a true white coat (born with pink pads, lips and noses that later turn the base color) we will call a ?no color?, a dog with a solid, one-color coat (ie. a solid black), we will call a ?one color?, a dog with a 2 color coat, (ie. Black and Silver) we will refer to as a ?bi-color? and finally a dogs with a Salt and Pepper type coat will be called a ?banded? coat in reference to the banded characteristic of the wire hairs of the Salt & Pepper coat which gives it it?s distinct appearance. Parti colors will be discussed later and referred to as parti. To begin with, it first needs to be understood that there are 2 base colors, brown (also called chocolate and liver) and black (what is most commonly seen) . These are easily distinguished by the color of the nose, pads and skin. Within each of these 2 base colors there are the 4 genetic patterns as we outlined in the previous paragraph. Please see the table below to better understand how these are displayed. Genetic Pattern Base Color ? Black, the ?default? or dominant base color, any 2 dogs bred together that do not carry or pass on the brown-base will always pass on the black-base, which is why it is the most common base color seen. Base Color ? Brown, recessive to the black-base requiring both parents to pass the gene to the offspring to show this color. This also means 2 brown-based dogs bred together will only produce brown based offspring. See ?double recessive?, above. Double Recessive A white, also called a black-nosed white or a ?true white?, this color has been documented through written description and photograph from the beginning and is accepted as a purebred without question in it?s native Germany as well as several other countries. This gene actually prevents the expression of the color, rather than being a color itself. Most often called a ?white chocolate? or a ?brown-nosed? white, this is genetically the same coat is the black-nosed white, only the base color differs. Dominant Direct Inheritance The coat color of the black-based one color reflects the skin color making the coat color black. While there are actually many genes responsible for the ?shade? of black, in this section we are only addressing the gene which makes the dog genetically ?one color?, in this case black. Once again the coat color reflects the skin color and makes this ?one color? a chocolate color, also called liver. The shade can once again vary but the gene responsible for making this dog genetically ?one color? is the same as in the black. Bi-Color - Double Recessive This is the distinctly two-toned Black & Silver. The Black & Silver is the Schnauzer equivalent to the Black & Tan in other breeds (ie. Rottweiler, Doberman) and most likely comes from the Miniature Pincher in it?s ancestry. It should be noted however that the Schnauzer has a somewhat unique gene called the Chinchilla gene which changes the reddish hue of the ?tan? points to the silvery color displayed by Schnauzers. Black & Silvers with very light points, to the point of being nearly white are also known as ?phantoms?. Often called Chocolate Phantom or Liver & Tan, this is the bi-color gene as displayed within the context of the brown-base. The ?tan? points can range from a creamy, almost white color to a deeper nearly as dark as the chocolate of the main body color. Banded - Double Recessive This is the most commonly known color for Mini Schnauzers as it is the color they are when they do not inherit any of the recessive or direct inheritance genes from their parents. Although they come in a variety of shades, even as dark as a Black & Silver, the defining trait of this color is the ?banding? of color on the wirehairs. Upon closer inspection of the wirehairs when long, there is a distinctive banding or striping of lighter and darker coloration. The darker coloration will correspond with the base color, in this case black. The brown-base version of the ?banded? gene is often called a Liver Pepper although that is somewhat misleading and confusing since there is no black ?pepper? color involved?it would be more accurately known as a ?frosted chocolate? to describe the ?frosted look the banded hairs give the overall coat. It should also be said that ?banded? coat colors, regardless of the base, also have the same Chinchilla ?points? as the Black & Silvers at their eyebrows, checks, muzzle/beard, chests, lower legs, and under the tail. Base Colors: There are 2 base colors, Black and Brown. The base color of the dogs is always reflected in the color of the nose and pads. These base colors have been in existence since the beginning of the breed and have been well documented, at least in the beginning.. The first studbook of recorded Miniature Schnauzers lists a number of dogs, including at least one from the first recorded litter as being ?gelb? German for yellow. The Yellow coloring is directly related to the Brown base and the Yellow coat coloring is simply a difference I the way the color is deposited in the hair follicle. The claim that the Brown base is a ?new? color and therefore not purebred is inaccurate. As it is recessive, it is possible to pass the gene on for generation after generation without it showing up and further, the very, very dark Brown based, One Color, Chocolate dogs can look almost Black and could easily be accidentally misidentified and registered as such, further continuing the genetic line. It has also been proven that there have been many breeders who have ?disposed of? or purposefully misidentified the coloring of the ?differently? colored dogs to preserve their ?integrity? among the circles they turn in. No Color: (Recessive) True ?No Color? or White puppies are always born with predominantly pink pads, lips, eye rims, noses and skin and completely White fur. The lips, pads, noses and eye rims will quickly change to reflect the base color, black or brown. There are some dogs which upon maturity appear White but these are not true Whites. They are born a light tan color and as they age they fade more and more until they appear White (note the progression of color change in the first series of pics below). As puppies these are sometimes described as Wheaten or Platinum/ Platinum Silver. They will also sometimes seem to have pink-ish on the nose and perhaps even on the pads if they will have white markings on the toes, but this is not to be confused with the true pink of a White puppy. The ?false white? appears to be a Dominant Direct Inheritance gene, needing one parent of that color to be passed. False White- Platinum, Wheaten, Platinum Silver One Color: (Dominant Direct Inheritance) Puppies with the One Color gene will always be the color of their base color so their genetic color will always be the same as their nose/pads c olor. Because there are more genes involved with shade and thus color is not simply determined by the single gene, a One Color gene dog can look very different from another dog of the same One Color gene. There can be genes which determine that a dog fades and these genes will al so control to what degree a dog fades, where they fade (full body, beard only, legs only) and what color they will fade out to. Below you will see a variety of Black base, One Color gene dogs that appear different based on the genes controlling shade/fade. As you can see many of these Blacks have colors other than Black in their coats, ranging from minimally to in entirety. It should be noted that the genes responsible for fading often don?t start to affect coat color until some time after birth and how quickly or even if a dog fades cannot be determined at birth or even necessarily by 8 weeks. Also there was a time period when in Germany the only registerable Black Mini Schnauzers had to both have Black parents, this resulted in Homozygous Black dogs. Some of these were later imported into North America and are responsible for a large infusion of Black into the lines here. Bi-Color: (Recessive) The Bi-Color gene is what makes a Black & Silver or a Liver & Tan and is the same gene responsible for the Black & Tan in other breeds. As mentioned before, the Schnauzer has what is known as the Chinchilla gene, which converts the ?Tan? points to the silvery or white color the Schnauzer displays. Once again other genes are responsible for how dark or light the points and body appear and what, if any fading occurs. The wire hairs of Bi-Color dog are the same as the Base color. Banded: (Dominant) The Banded coat is the most commonly known Schnauzer color. It is also the color Schnauzers are when no other genes come into play making it a kind of ?default? color. The defining characteristic of the Banded gene is the distinct banding or striping of the wirehairs. Depending on the point of growth of the wirehair, the hair will appear white, dark or a combination of both. The dark color always corresponds with the Base color. Again, other genes affect the shade of the Banded coat and this clearly seen in the pictures of the Black-base, Banded coat (Salt & Pepper) dogs below. Despite the fact that the top right picture appears to be a Black & Silver, upon closer inspection the banded wirehairs can be seen and prove this to be a Banded coat. Banded coat puppies are often born with various amounts of a tan shaded coloration to their coats (see ears on bottom right photo) that most often fades out as they age, although on occasion it doesn?t fade entirely. This is normal and even noted in the breed standard of the AMSC and AKC. Parti-Color : (Recessive) It is now the time to address the Parti?color gene. separate from the other color genes since it can be displayed simultaneously with them and is a ?pattern? gene also known as a ?broken color? gene. There have been recorded Part-Colored Mini Schnauzers in this country as far back as the 1950?s and can be traced directly to some of the well known and respected German Kennels. The Parti coloring can be seen as big ?saddles? of color on a white background or as a ?splattering? of colored freckles on the white background, or more commonly, both. It also needs to be said that you can have White Parti-colored dogs but you won?t see the Parti due to the White disguising it. You won?t know you have Parti until you breed to another non- white Parti or Parti gene carrier and get Parti puppies. Gene Combinations: All schnauzers have a combination of these genes we have discussed. Each one has a Base color gene, a Coat pattern gene and an optional Parti pattern gene. Whether these are displayed or not sometimes depends on whether the gene is "turned" on or off. Like in the case of Black, as a dominant gene it is either inherited as Black or Not Black. With the recessive genes it is a matter whether or not two matching gene pairs are inherited, one from each parent. In Conclusion : I hope this helps clear up some of the confusion regarding the colors. I also want to be sure to make it clear that to say that the non-standard colors are ?not recognized? by the AKC is not accurate. They most certainly are recognized otherwise they would not be able to be registered as purebred Miniature Schnauzers. They are registerable and recognized, simply not able to be shown in the conformation classes. They can still participate in Agility, Obedience and Search and Rescue. Just so that is clear to all. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope it was informative.

Optional Microchipping Contact Us Search Our Site I am so glad to be able to create another testimonials page, so often people who buy our babies dont keep in touch, but increasingly the number of new owners are updating us on our babies growth and health progress! Thank you all, and keep them coming! Ward Family From Kentucky! Here are some pictures of Callie our beautiful and sweet, black and silver little girl. The first pictures are when we brought her home at 7 weeks old and the later pictures are of her now that she is almost 16 weeks old and weighs a whopping 4.7 lbs. The vet told me she is one of the best bred puppies that she has ever seen so hats off to Trammels Quality Schnauzer's for your efforts. She is very playful and loves attention! Callie follows us everywhere we go! She loves to travel in the car, play with other dogs and is really friendly with everyone she meets. Her most favorite thing to do is explore in the backyard where she hops around like a grasshopper and she loves to cool off in the pool. Everyone that sees her wants to keep her so I have to watch for dognappers everyday! She has been such a great addition to our family and we wouldn't know what to do without her!! Steve and Kim Ward: Owners of Callie (Juney B & Monte) Prestonsburg, KY UPDATE!! 10-9-10 Thought you may like an updated pic of Callie. She is 7 months and one week tomorrow and has weighed 7 1/2 lbs the past two weeks. She is a sweetheart! I want another one, maybe in the Spring! Kim Ward Prestonsburg, KY Sharpe Family From Kentucky! Hey Rebecca, I wanted to let you know that I couldn't be happier with Phiona. I'm so glad you let this little gem go! I've had her a little over a month and already know I could never let her go. She learns tricks so easily...such a smarty pants! Everyone loves her and she is well socialized...hasn't met a stranger yet! She went to the vet today and I must announce that she gained 1 lb a week...already up to 5 WHOLE lbs...lol. Anyway, I'm spreading the word to everyone I know. Everyone should have the opportunity to own one (or more!) of your lovely pups! Many Thanks for this gals new best friend! Amanda Sharpe & Phiona (Delilah & Banjo Daughter) Piercy Family From Kentucky! Rebecca, we just wanted to give you an update on Gaupo. He is doing great, the vet said we have a very healthy boy. He was so timid and scared the first two days we had him but he now thinks he owns us as well as the house. When we take him outside he puts the leash in his mouth and tries to walk us! He is very independent and a bit bossy at times. It's so funny to watch him try to boss us around but what's even funnier is that it works most of the time. We love him very much and so does everyone else. He is very socialable and loves kids. Guapo recently went to the groomer for his first haircut. They fell in love with him. The groomer went on and on about how pretty he is and how calm and well behaved he was for her. We will continue to give you updates from time to time. Thank you so much. Rachael and Brandi: Owners of Guapo (son of Annie and Midnight) Herman Family From Michigan! Hello From Michigan! Just wanted to let you know that our puppy is probably the most loved and spoiled schnauzer in Michigan. We finally named him Tuck (short for Kentucky where he was born!). He is so beautiful and smart. He goes with me to work each day and the entire staff at the clinic is totally in love with him. He is very calm and happy, loves everyone including our grandchildren and the neighbor's large dog! I can't thank you enough for this boy. We cannot believe how brave and calm he is in any situation. Thanks again for your great puppies-I would recommend you to everyone who wants a wonderful schnauzer! Rhonda Herman: Owner of Tuck! Haynes Family From Kentucky! Hello Rebecca, I’m finally getting around to updating you on Dolly’s progress. She went for her last check-up and shots a couple of weeks ago; he said she is in perfect health. She has adjusted to life in the Haynes household quite well and has quickly become a very important member of our family. We all love her and it’s obvious she feels the same way about us. We definitely made the right choice by getting another dog after our beloved Maggie passed away, she has been a lot of comfort. Thank you for raising such beautiful puppies! Hal, Denise, Devyn, Dudley: Owners of Dolly. UPDATE!! 9/27/2010 I thought you might be interested in seeing new pictures of Dolly. Some include Dudley, our 13 year old (he’s getting so fragile), and as you can see they have become quite close. He grooms her just like he did Maggie; I believe she’s comforting to him. We have all fallen in love with her, even Hal. At first he was a bit reluctant to get close to her because she reminds him so much of Maggie, but she has won him over. I’m a little bit jealous, I do everything for her and yet she wants to be in her daddy’s lap every night as we are watching TV. They patty-cake together, and she won’t let him stop. If he ever teaches her to do it on her own I’ll send you a video. Just wanted you to know how much she means to us. Denise Haynes Owner of Dolly (from TQS) and Dudley. Chambers Family From South Carolina! Rebecca, we purchased Missy 8/09 and just absolutely love her so much. She is my precious baby who sits with me in my chair while I work and just is a lover and cuddler. Thank you for the wonderful addition to our house. Life would be very dull for Toby without her. Toby loves his "Mistress". The Chambers Family Bluffton, SC Owners of Missy (Ritzy/Koda puppy) Wages Family From Tennessee! Rebecca, Just thought we would bring you up to date with the progress of the puppy which we purchased from you last Monday. She has been named Annie and she passed her vet inspection on Wednesday being declared a "keeper" by our vet. She is a bundle of energy and really has gotten the hang of the need to go outdoors as soon as she has eaten. We have even seen her go to the front door indicating an interest to "get to the grass." She really loves it in the yard where she almost can try to hide in the blades of grass. Our other 5 year old female, Tillie, was reluctant to interact with Annie for the first couple of days, and let her know who was boss...........but the last two days has been initiating play with Annie by grabbing the small toys that we got of Annie and running off with them and looking back to see if she was following. So looks like the acclimation to the home is coming along smoothly. The pup really is spreading her wings and trying everything she can to test us on what she is allowed/not allowed to get away with. We had forgotten about how much raising a puppy was like the same for your own babies. Continuous sleep at night is not something we can take for granted..........but we are getting 2-4 hours before she starts crying to go outside to relieve her tiny bladder and intestinal system. But when she gets outside..........she doesn't waste any time!! I have attached a few photos taken the second day in the house. Thank you for this opportunity to add this real cutie to our household. Dwight & Diane Wages: Owners of Annie. (Lucie & Midnight daughter) McFather Family From Georgia! Becky, today is Rowdy's 2nd birthday. He is doing extremely well. He has not had any health issues at all. He weighs 11.4 lbs. and has for quiet some time. He is the love of our lives. He sleeps with us and goes with us whenever we can take him. He has never been in a crate and has full run of the house even when we're gone. He is a precious part of our family and we thanks you eternally for letting us have him. I will be emailing some photos and a fes minutes of him with his birthday cupcake and present. Sandra McFather - Mother of Rowdy! Kennison Family From Florida! Becky, Just wanted to send you a quick hello and a big thank you for our Penelope. You did such a great job with her. She is one of the smartest puppies I've ever seen. She is nearly 100% house broken after only a week and can do about 5 different tricks as well as go up the stairs...still working on getting down once she's up though. :) She might have been better named Shadow; she follows me wherever I go and cries if I leave her sight for one minute. It's a good thing we live here in the Palm Beaches because dogs are allowed just about everywhere you go, and we take her everywhere! She is weighing 3.9 pounds now but still thinks she is a Great Dane and barks to protect our yard and house from all the other dogs in the neighborhood. As promised, I will continue to send updates. Attached are some pictures. Nyree Kennison & Family Owners of Penelope Kennison (daughter of Sydney & Tramp) Boring Family From Tennessee UPDATE.... Hi Rebecca, we purchased a little girl out of the Ritzy and Koda litter back in August. We just wanted to update you on this precious little girl!! Chloe has grown up so fast. She weighs 10.5 pounds. I don't think she could be any more perfect!! We will definitely be coming back to you for our next schnauzer, we check your website regularly awing over all of the new little babies you have. Thank you so much for a healthy and beautiful girl!!! Cody & Morgan Boring Ewashko Family From Kentucky! Hi Rebecca, I was just sifting through some old email folders and ran across your website and just had to take a look. We got our Mini-Schnauzer "Maggie" from you almost 3 years ago. She is all grown up now and has been such a blessing to our family. When we got Maggie, we knew our 14 year old Chocolate Lab would not be with us much longer. Nevertheless our lab took to Maggie as if it was her own puppy. It wasn't an unusual scene to look out in the backyard and see Maggie lounging on top of Bailey's back in a sunny spot on the grass. Maggie has never given us a moments trouble, her disposition is so very sweet, and she was housebroken in a matter of days it seemed. She's never snapped at anyone and puts up with three kids wanting to play with her all the time. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that Maggie is truly a joy to our family and we don't know what we would have done without her to fill the gap since we had to have our Chocolate Lab "put down" last October. Thanks again, The Ewashko Family Georgetown, Kentucky Corley Family From Kentucky! Rebecca, It's been a year now since we got our little Mable and I never thought a little dog could bring so much joy to our lives! She is an excellent companion; so intelligent, loving and playful. Thank you so much for the wonderful addition to our family! -Brittany and Robbie Corley (Somerset, KY) Boring Family From Tennessee! Rebecca, we absolutely love our new addition the the family. Chloe is fitting in just perfect with us. These pictures are after we brought her home, everyone just loves Chloe they can't believe how beautiful her colors are. We love her and think that we couldn't have picked a more perfect puppy. We can't wait to watch her grow up and keep us company for a long time. Cody & Morgan Wilson Owners of Chloe Wilson Family From Tennessee! Hello! Just wanted to send some pictures of Spencer all grown up for your website. He is doing so well! We cleaned out a spare bedroom for him and put up a baby gate with a door in the middle. He runs in and out of his room all day dragging his bed and toys back and forth into the living room. All of our friends adore him, he has the most unique personality. Spencer is a great snuggler when he wants to be and he loves to hang around the yard sniffing and chasing rabbits. He does wonderfully on a leash and the potty training went really well. He is certainly everything we were hoping for and more, every day is an adventure. Schnauzers are so much like children sometimes it just amazes my husband and I! I have attached his most recent pictures. I believe he is fully grown now at about 11 lbs., he is 12 inches tall, 22 inches from nose to tail and his chest is 16 inches around. His color is beautiful and his photos do not do him justice. I am sure no dog has ever been as spoiled as he is, thanks again. Have a wonderful Christmas!! The Wilson's ~ Justin & Tiffany owners of Spencer! (son of Caurie Leigh & Koda) Lampley Family From Tennessee! Rebecca, I wanted to write and give you some pictures and an update on Winston. He has such a sweet unique personality (he sings like his mom Sydney). My family and I have spent many days and nights playing and bonding with him. He has learned a few tricks in which he will do in an instant for a treat! He is training well and has been an amazing addition to my family! I could not picture my life without him now :o) THANK YOU, Leah Lampley owner of Winston. (Sydney & Koda) Hurd Family From Kentucky! We just wanted to update you on Molly. She is up to 10 lbs now, and so adorable. She is definitely a mommas girl and I love it. She keeps me lots of company while my husband is working away. Potty training her was so easy. She has learned that she can bark, and does it quite often. She has taken over my side of the bed. Rebecca, she is the best purchase we could have ever made. We love her. Thank you again & Merry Christmas! Amy and Byron Hurd, owners of Molly. Monticello, KY Koch Family From Tennessee! Lillie is now living with the Koch family in Knoxville Tennesse. (Lillie as a baby) Kerry Family From Alabama! I just wanted to write and tell you thank you so much for my wonderful dog, Bailey. My family fell in love with this pup from day one, and she has only continued to wiggle her way into our hearts. As you can see from the photos, she is a beautiful girl witha shiny coat and a sparkle in her eye. You have done an excellent job as a breeder by producing such beautiful, happy and healthy puppies. You are by far one of the kindest and most knowledgable breeders I have met, and I think you do the miniature schnauzer a good service by producing such wonderful puppies. I would reccomend you to anyone looking for a puppy, and anyone looking at your site can rest assured that you actually care about the dogs you bring into the world. Thanks again, and I hope you and all of your family and schnauzers have a Merry Christmas and Yappy New Year! (Bailey as a Baby) Brooke Kerry and the Schnauzies Alabama Mr. Simmons From GA, Update! Becky, here are some updated pictures of Koa. Koa is a great addition to my family, Koa brings soooo much happiness and joy around my home.. He is totally crate trained and house broken, so we are on set times for potty and meals.. He will tell you when he has to go out if he ate or drank a little to much, he will walk up to me in my office and look directly at me and start walking to the back door.. That look is to follow him or I will leave you a little surprise, so we communicate with looks and gestures as well.. LOL!! I remember Koa being able to fit in my one hand, now he is the size of my whole four arm, but he is not big.. Koa is my handsome little man, he is very playful, his favorite thing to do is run full speed around the house and slide on the kitchen floor, he LOVES that.. LOL!! Oh his sense of smell and hearing is AWESOME, he hears and smells everything.. He is a great ALERT dog, sometimes it scares me cause he and I could be in the office and I am just working and he is under my desk and out of no where he barks and I jump of course and takes off for the door and barks.. Then seconds later, a knock or doorbell.. He will hear things to the back of the home, when my office is to the front, and I go see what he's barking at and its the neighbors kids playing a block over.. I am truly AMAZED by his ability.. We have this thing where I teach him to run and jump and I catch him in mid air to get me a hug and steal some of his kisses.. LOL!! That's my boy and I love him, I know I have no regrets, I think this is the best purchase I could have ever made for myself.. He will soon to be ready if he is not already to breed.. I am only wanting him to breed with the best quality females (AKC) and thanks to your knowledge you have really helped me to do my research and know what I am getting myself into and to know what to look for in a female AKC Mini Schnauzer.. Thanks again Becky I will be in touch.. Who knows, I might be back for a Phantom female a black and white in 2010.. I have my eyes on your website.. LOL!! Alfred Simmons, owner of Koa. Mastrolia Family From Kentucky! Angus is great. He is the most laid back, kind dog that I have ever had. Everyone is amazed that a purebred dog can be so calm and nice. He really is, and he is beautiful like his mother. I am attaching a few pictures of Angus, and my now 3 grandchildren. They were all here for Thanksgiving and we had a ball!! They will all be back for Christmas. Angus is wonderful with the children and his little brother Nigel is pretty good too. He is just a little more excited at times. Have a wonderful holiday and always keep us in mind. My mother, who has Alzheimers, has developed a bond with Angus. It is truly a wonderful thing. He is so loving with her. Love to you all, Sally Mastrolia owner of Angus.
- New Puppy Now What?
This page explains what our new puppy owners can expect after they get home with their new puppy.

New Puppy Now What? Optional Microchipping Contact Us Search Our Site Getting You Started! So you have a new puppy, NOW WHAT? Well hopefully this page will help you get started! Please keep in mind this is what I do for my own puppies, please use your own discression. Things you will need: Pet Crate or Carrier (smallest is prefered for puppies) Puppy Bed We use & recommend Diamond Naturals Small Breed Puppy Formula: DIAMOND Naturals Small & Medium Breed Puppy Formula Dry Dog Food, 6-lb bag - Chewy.com Fresh daily supply of Water. TOYS!! No string toys or rawhides until after 6 months of age. (puppies can choke on these). Latex squeaky toys, and plush animals are best. Metal comb, and brush, dematting combs are very handy. Toe nail clippers. Earmite treatment, this should be applied at least monthly. (Many puppy owners do not understand the importance of ear health) We recommend a fenced in yard but if you don't have one, a tie out stake or runner will work until you can get a secure fence or kennel, I NEVER let my dogs run loose! And its always good to have a dog house outside. Even if its an inside dog. What has your puppy already had done? Your new puppy has been wormed at 2, 4 & 6 weeks of age. It has been vaccinated at 6 & 8 weeks of age. It has been raised in the house and started on crate training and potty training. HOW TO PROPERLY CARE FOR YOUR NEW PUPPY! Your puppy has had constant attention to make sure he/she gets everything they need. Your puppy has been fed on a regular schedule of 8 a.m., 12 noon, and 6 p.m. until 8 weeks at which time they are only fed at 8 am and 6 pm. Water should remain out during the day from 8 a.m. until appx. 8 p.m. and then removed. Puppies before the age of 8 weeks of age should have their food moistened with HOT tap water to reduce choke hazard. You should take your puppy out to potty about 5 minutes after eating, at each scheduled feeding. And when your puppy potties, come back in the house. Outside is NOT playtime it is potty time. After about 10 minutes of being back in the house, go back out to potty for a second time. Most puppies will not fully use the bathroom the first time they go outside. If you notice any loose stool or diarhea give your puppy plain yogurt, if the diarhea doesnt clear up in a few days take he/she to the vet. You would want to offer the plain yogurt in a seperate dish OR combined with the puppy food. Crate Training Crate training is not putting your dog/puppy in a "cage" or "jail", and you are not being cruel if you follow these tips. Dogs feel secure in small, enclosed spaces, like a den. Dog crates make excellent dens. A crate offers your dog security, a den with a roof, and a place to call his very own where he can go to get away from it all. It is also a safe place for him to stay when you're away or when you cannot watch him. There are basically just a few steps in crate training and they are as follows: 1. Choose a crate the same size as your puppy/dog. He should only have enough room to stand up, turn around and lie down. His crate is for sleeping or for a safe place to be when you cannot be with him. If you have a large breed puppy, you may have to buy two different size crates or purchase a crate with a divider you can move as he grows. 2. Use a single-word command for your dog to enter his crate and throw in a treat or piece of kibble. When he enters, praise him and close the crate door. Gradually increase the time he spends in the crate before you let him out. Remember, your dog still needs time to play and eliminate. Maintain a regular schedule of trips outdoors so as not to confine him too long. 3. As a general guide, your puppy can stay in his crate comfortably for several hours, depending on his age. Take his age in months, add 1, and that's how many hours he should be able to stay in his crate (up to about 8 hours). For example, a 2-month old puppy should be comfortable in his crate for about 3 hours. 4. Providing your dog or puppy with a crate that is way too large may allow him to relieve himself in one end and sleep in the other. Placing food or water in his crate will allow him to fill up his bladder and bowel and he will have no choice but to relieve himself in his crate. Make sure you take your dog or puppy outdoors to eliminate on a regular schedule and especially prior to being left for prolonged periods of time. Always take your dog outside on a leash to the same area in your backyard to eliminate so you can praise him when his job is finished. This will take the guesswork out of his visits to the backyard.

This is the process we go through when it's time to pick up your puppy and what you can expect.

We will no longer be offering Shipping, via airline cargo, for our puppies, UNLESS you directly fly into TYS airport and inspect your puppy prior to purchase. We NO LONGER allow customers to come to our home for purchase & pickup, this is for the protection of our puppies against contagious disease and our own family! We will meet in a safe and convenient location, within 1 hour driving distance from my home, at no cost to you (the buyer). Contagious disease such as Parvo are all too common and are getting worse... We do provide numerous vet references so you can perform your very own background check so that you have a good piece of mind that you are not purchasing from a puppy mill or back yard breeder. Also our entire facility is shown on our farm and facility page if you would like to check that out, our pictures of our dogs are always kept current and updated. PLUS our AKC inspection certificate is readily available for your viewing on our website also...Our Most recent AKC inspection was July 2023. We are also Licensed in our county as well as by the state of Kentucky for the sale of our puppies. Puppies are generally ready for pickup at 8 weeks of age, and must be picked up then. We let our puppies decide when is the best time for them to go to their new home, sometimes they are not ready at 8 weeks and we will keep them longer depending on their needs. We do not rush our puppies out the door just because they are 8 weeks old. BUT once they are ready you must make arrangements to pick them up immediately or you may incur an additional fee. If you cannot pick up your puppy when it has been released to go home, arrangements have to be made ahead of time. I will be in contact with you and you will be aware of when the pup will be ready to go at least a week in advance. For puppies requiring an extended stay here at TQS after we release them to go a fee of $50 a week for boarding (includes continued training and feeding) is require. If the stay is long enough that the puppy then requires additional vaccines an additional $25 will be required PER Vaccine! Puppies will NOT leave our premises unless they are fully up to date on vaccines. If arrangements are not made in advance your deposit and puppy will be forfeited. On occasion we will keep our teacup & toy puppies until 10 weeks old, but the same rule applies.
