  • Optional Microchipping

    We offer microchipping for your pet, with lifetime registration. Microchipping is Now Available! Microchipping is now available on all of our puppies. The fee is $40 +5.5% paypal transaction fee so the total is $42.20 and it includes life time enrollment in the Companion Animal Recovery Service. There are no additional fees for as long as you own your pet and you will receive a collar tag with your confirmation letter in about 4 weeks. You MUST request this service. Schnauzers@highland.net Once this service has been provided the fees are Non-refundable! Click below to pay for your Microchipping! Whats Included? This service includes one 134.2 kHz (ISO) microchips, Lifetime enrollment in Companion Animal Recovery (CAR) & Implantation. As well as a Collar ID Tag (received within 4 weeks of registration) 134.2 kHz (ISO) microchips are quickly growing in popularity in the United States and used by many large veterinary groups and an increasing number of municipalities across the country. ISO microchips are the standard in many countries across Europe, Canada and Japan and comply with ISO standard 11784. Collar ID Tags AKC Companion Animal Recovery collar ID tags are automatically provided with every enrollment. Our collar tags provide quick and easy access to dedicated recovery experts via our 24/7 service. Unlike a standard pet tag with one phone number, your privacy is protected while AKC CAR provides the means to contact you via the various ways you may be reached: phone, email, and even text messaging. We can also reach out to any additional contact names that you provide, just in case you cannot be reached. Email for more information: Schnauzers@highland.net Why Microchip? Why should you microchip your pet? Pet microchipping is the permanent identification method of choice to help get a pet home if ever missing. Tattoos fade or become hidden by pet's hair, and collar tags can fall off or break. Once implanted with a microchip your pet has a permanent, unique ID number for its lifetime. Pet microchipping is a simple procedure that requires no anesthetic. The microchip, only about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted with a needle just beneath the pet's skin between the shoulder blades. After getting a microchip, it is imperative to have the microchip ID number immediately enrolled in a recovery service (free with service fee) to ensure you are contacted when your pet, if ever lost, is found. The microchip itself has no internal energy source. Animal shelters, animal control officers and veterinarians run a microchip scanner over a lost pet's shoulder blades to look for a microchip. When the microchip is detected, the scanner displays the microchip's unique ID number. This ID number is used to identify your pet and retrieve your contact information to call you and reunite you with your pet. Additional Information! Once Microchipped Keep Your Records Updated We encourage you to keep your records updated so that we can quickly return your pet home. Unique to AKC Companion Animal Recovery service, you can make unlimited free updates, including phone number and address changes.

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.

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.

  • Puppy Pickup

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

New Puppy Now What? Optional Microchipping Contact Us Search Our Site WE DO NOT SHIP! Picking Up Your Puppy! New Changes Effective 8-29-2021 WE HAND DELIVER ALL OF OUR PUPPIES TO THEIR NEW FAMILIES! This allows you the opportunity to hand select & inspect your puppy! 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.

Howard Family From Kentucky! 1/3 I was just scrolling through my facebook and when I looked at my past memories there's always one of one of my fur kids on there and one happened to pop up of my little man I purchased from you when he was a baby:) I realized I have never updated you on how he is doing. His name is Ross and He just turned 4. He has the biggest personality and so so smart. He has been what gets me through my bad days since I was diagnosed with Lupus. He never leaves my side and loves to ride the fourwheeler and watch national geographic! Thank you so much for being an amazing breeder, you gave me one of the biggest blessings I have ever received. He was my second schnauzer, and now I am at a total of 5:) right before we got Lexie our first one spayed there was an accident and that's how we got blessed with our five.Lexie had an emergency c section and had trouble so I bottle fed them and slept in the dog bed with the pups till they were weaned. One of the most rewarding yet scary experiences of my life. Now everyone is spayed/nuetered so no more accidents lol. I have enclosed some pics, one of me and Ross and Lexie and their 3 little girls! Thank you for giving me my little fur family! Have a great day!!! Jenny and Travis Howard Brownsville, Ky Fowler Family From Louisiana! 1/7 June 2013 ~ Thank you so much , Rebecca! The last time I bought a puppy from a breeder it didn't go so well. You have been incredible!!! I promise both to recommend you as well as come to you in the future :) Have a wonderfully blessed day, and give little Lucy lots of hugs and kisses from us! Thanks again, and we'll be keeping in touch to let you see how she progresses :) November 2013 ~ Good Morning, Rebecca! Just wanted to share some current pictures of Lucy. She is ADORABLE!!!! I cannot thank you enough for your willingness to work with us and for selling us such a gorgeous, well-mannered pup. She is 6 months old now, weighs 6lbs., and hasn't grown much height wise. She is still short and compact, with a tremendous coat! I'd venture to say that she is already potty trained. She sleeps in the bed with us every night, and jumps off of the bed and immediately goes out of the doggy door as soon as she wakes up. We simply can't thank you enough for her! Have a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving! I have included a couple of shots of her alone; the rest are of her and the rest of "the gang." Sincerely- Jana Fowler (Louisiana) Update on Chloe From the Boring F amily in Tennessee! 1/3 Here is a little update on our little Chloe. She is just the most precious little girl ever, we just love her to death!! We just can't thank you enough for such a PERFECT schnauzer! She just turned 3 back in August. She is so spoiled as you can tell from the picture of her laying on the top of the couch. ;) My husband & I both agree this is her world, we are just living in it! -- Cody & Morgan Boring Delamater Family From Virginia! Trammell’s Quality Schnauzers we would like to thank you for our babies. Zeak and Abby are wonderful dogs!!!! They have been a blessing to our family and we wouldn’t know what to do without them. Zeaks now 2 years old and Abby is 1 and they are extremely smart and lovable pets. We will highly recommend you to all our family and friends. Thank you again. The Delamater Family Owners of Zeak & Abby Jordan Family from Michigan! Good afternoon Rebecca, I just wanted to let you know how much of a joy our new 7 week old miniature puppy has been since we got him from you last Thursday. Toby is precious! He is our first family dog and David (13) and Lucas (10) adore him and so do my husband and I. When Mark brought him home the other night after driving with him for about 5 hours (this is after he had already traveled a long time with you to meet up), he was so sweet and good. A real snuggler! As soon as we brought him into the house he started skipping back and forth on the floor and flipping his rear from side to side as if to say, "Hey guys, I'm here! Look at me!" He ran to each one of us with playfulness and almost seemed to do "tricks" for us. He really wanted us to see what he is all about! We are in love! Potty training hasn't been difficult, despite the freezing weather, since he had already been in training with you. We are starting to read his signs for a bathroom break which has been great! He does really well in the crate but I know he wants to sleep with us! LOL! Maybe someday! We took him to the vet and got a perfect report. I was so happy. Of course I know you are an awesome breeder and expected it! Everyone loves his personality, cute face and puppy schnauzer cut. He is very well mannered with all people and children. Thank you for being so quick to respond to all of my questions over the prior weeks to getting him and for your honesty! A relief when you hear so many horror stories that can happen. Our puppy came from a home full of love and we thank you! If we decide to get another Schnauzer for our family, we will only call you! It is reassuring to know you strive for the best in all your dogs and pups. Love the breed! Toby is worth every penny to us and more. Can't put a price tag on health and happiness! Your website is great and was very helpful in answering all my questions. Loved seeing the pups and their parents in the photos since I live so far away. This made choosing Toby easier. It was nice to see updates each week as he continued to grow and change so quickly. And paying by Paypal was very convenient. You are a professional! Good job! Also, I just want to add that our whole family is grateful to you for the rescued 6 month old Schnauzer my sister and her family adopted from you, too. He is gorgeous, sweet and within only a few days he has nearly recovered from any past trauma he may have experienced. He fits right in with their family and their older male dog, too! Thank you for saving him and bringing him back to excellent health! You are a hero in our book! I have truly enjoyed getting to know you and look forward to a friendship for many years to come. God bless you and your family... Lisa, Mark, David & Lucas Owners of Toby (Bentley & Tobe baby) A Very Special Dog For A Very Special Girl! Augustus ( Augi ) will soon turn 4 ( November 20 ). He has grown into a wonderful young man, and is the true definition of lap dog. If he sees a lap, he wants in it! From the moment he joined our home, he knew my daughter was special. Even as a baby, he never attempted to chew on her lines, or anyway do anything that would put her health at risk. I find it amazing that as a puppy, he never attempted to chew on her IV lines, and if one was placed on or near him, he lays very still until it is moved away from him ( as you can tell from the one picture I sent - she has a lot of lines that attach to her ). When she has a cover over her lines, he loves cuddling up in bed with her. She also, loves to have him cuddled next to her. He is a very intelligent animal, knowing when it is bedtime and running to bed with his favorite duck ( a stuffed animal that is almost as big as he is ). He refuses to jump on the bed, instead crying until he is placed in bed. Augi, rarely jumps on any furniture, instead waiting to be placed on the furniture. The only exception is the one chair where we keep a sheepskin throw - Augi has decided this is his chair and he will jump on it to nap. If someone places an object in this chair he gets upset and stares at the chair until you remove the item. He also prefers that no one else sits in the chair. He is a house dog, only going out on the farm when he is on a leash. Twice he has gotten out of the house without the leash and both times ended badly. The first time, he ran to the pond and tried to get to the ducks ( he was captured when he got into the mud and could not get out ), the second time he chased and caught a rooster. The rooster was so surprised that Augi was able to kill the rooster. Everyone was amazed that this little 10 pound dog was able to bring the full size rooster down! Augustus is very special to me, although he is very spoiled and does not like strangers. He is very welcoming to the nurses that come into our home, and likes to hang out in their laps. We have found he is more accepting of women then men. He loves children, unless they run - in which case a nip at the heels quickly slows them down. He prefers the slower pace of our home, and when we do have company the hustle and bustle makes him nervous. We love Augustus, and I truly did receive a wonderful lap dog. Although he is too large to sleep in my daughter's lap, he does lay with her in her bed and calms her. I did not realize that a lap dog could be so calming. When stressed a few minutes with Augi makes the world a better place. My husband talks of getting another schnauzer, but I have to say that Augustus could never handle sharing. He feels it would be good for Augustus, but my lap is only so big. Thanks for the wonderful companion, Jayme Bonar-Bridges Bennett Family From Alabama! Hello again, perhaps you remember me from picking up a puppy at the local McDonalds. I attached some pictures of Cooper and our other puppy Stache. Cooper is 14 weeks and 10.2 pounds now. Have a great day, Tom Bennett Have a great day, Tom Bennett Fesmire Family From Tennessee Hello, this is Jordan Fesmire. My mother and I got 2 liver and tan schnauzer puppies from you about 2 years ago-we met you in parking lot by wal-mart. They were from different litters a day apart in may, but were the last left from both litters. She was a teacup, and he was a toy. I just wanted to update you on how great they are!!! Sace' lives with a 130 lb lab and thinks she is his size. She has the best personality and is VERY smart. Her tongue sticks out most of the time. She rules the roost for sure! While Bacio lives with my parents and has always been so timid and shy-but so sweet!!!! They still spend tons of time together!! I passed your name on the other day to a stranger. She goes everywhere with me and I get tons of compliments. I attached some photos for yall. I just got married, and she stole the show running down the aisle!! Hope yall are well! Thanks again for our 4-legged children!!! Jordan and Sheri Fesmire Lampley Family From Tennessee! Joshi Family From Indiana! Rebecca - My dad ran into you over the weekend when you bought the saddle from him and he was so excited to call and tell me that he had met you again! He wanted me to be sure and send you some pictures off his "grandson" We got Mojo from you almost 2 years ago, he'll be 2 in November. He is a baby of River and Callie. He has made such a huge impact on our family as he is the best friend anyone could ask for and I'm pretty sure he is part human! He has the best personality and everyone that meets him falls in love with him instantly. He is amazing with all people, kids, and loves other dogs!! He definitely has the best personality of any dog I've ever met! We couldn't be happier with our decision to purchase and dog from you and hope to add a sibling for him sometime in the future and we know exactly where we will go for one! He is definitely one very, very spoiled little boy! The first pic is the one from you when he was just a little baby! The second, is shortly after he came home with us :) 3rd one is his first Easter, 4th one is last Christmas, 5th one is from this Spring, and the final one was taken on the 4th of July 2011 He is, like I said, almost 2 and last month at the vet he was a whopping 15 lbs of solid muscle! Thanks again for such a special addition to our family!! Thanks again, a proud schnauzer owner Kacy Joshi Owner of Mojo. Brown Family From Kentucky! Rebecca - Here is Chance! He's such a good and loving dog and we are thrilled to have him in our family! We took him to the vet the 2nd day we had him and the vet, he weighed in at a whopping 2.3 pounds! But the vet and his assistant said he was healthy in all respects and was very pleased with him. They both asked where we got him from and when we told him, they said that the breeder we got him from was a really good one. They don't even know you but they could tell by his health, his cleanliness, his temperament and his cute schnauzer cut that he was well cared for. Thanks for all the attention you gave him! Here are some pictures...it's so hard to keep him still long enough to take a good picture. He's soooo cute, so loving and affectionate and everyone that sees him just melts. :) The first picture is of him climbing into Eli's lap after some play time with us. He's exhausted now and just begging to be held in his lap so he can go to sleep. The second picture is just a shot we got so you could see his cute little face. He loves blankets. The more the better. The third picture is after another round of play. He was so exhausted he climbed onto the stack of blankets we keep by the couch. You can see how much he's grown in just a week in the fourth picture! He loves the backyard - grass, leaves, sticks and all. :) And picture five shows how we clearly feel about him. Here he is eating an edible doggie card a friend bought him. :) Thanks again for such a great puppy! Cosette & Eli Brown :-) Owners of Chance!
