About Michelle
Hi! I'm Michelle. I have always had a love for animals and have always had a little dog or two, along with birds, rabbits and other critters. My husband and I also raise peacocks of many colors.
What makes Michelle’s program special
I breed dogs for the love of the dog! I fell in love with schnauzers and love to share the breed with others.

“My puppies are purebred, but not registered (since I do not show dogs, I don't worry about papers). Puppies will have all puppy shots and have been wormed. They will come with a puppy starter pack. To reserve a puppy, place your non-refundable deposit. The deposit will be applied to the final cost of the puppy.”
Michelle may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy.

If Michelle offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Michelle directly.
Our puppies are well adjusted and played with. They are used to being around other small dogs and cats. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with other animals, Various sounds, Scent introduction, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Socialized in new places, Socialized with children, and Car rides.
All puppies are vaccinated, wormed and have been thoroughly examined by my veterinarian.
We send our puppies home with Initial potty training, Puppy starter kit, Toys, Food & treats, and Vet records.
Michelle offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“I do not ship my puppies, however, am willing to meet within a 2 hour radius of my home. ”
We’ll meet at a mutually convenient halfway point to drop off your puppy. Once your application is approved, we’ll coordinate the details for your pick-up day together.
