If you are interested in purchasing a puppy or older Miniature Schnauzer, please copy and paste the following Pre- Purchase Application into a Word document,  fill in the requested information, and email, pony express mail, or fax it back to us. You must be approved before we will accept any deposit from you to purchase one of our Miniature Schnauzers.  Our goal is to ensure each dog goes to a  loving home and each owner gets the perfect dog for him or her. Each approved applicant will be notified (in the order their application was received) when a suitable puppy or older dog becomes available. You will then be given the opportunity to place a deposit on the desired puppy or dog to hold him/her until time for them to go to a new home. Please remember that if you desire a show/breeding potential puppy or dog you may have to wait longer until one becomes available. We reserve the right to pick your prospect for you as we know our Miniature Schnauzers' potential.

From time to time we take in "rescue" dogs to re-home. We take pride in knowing all of the dogs we have re-homed have wonderful new families who adore their new "kids". We will be happy to answer any questions you may have about purchasing one of our wonderful little Miniature Schnauzers. Just call or email us:
