    I had a great experience with Frank and transporting my baby to Dallas was a very smooth process. She has a LOT of personality, but is very sweet and loves to meet strangers...(don't know how good that is just yet... lol) I got lucky with her. She came to me healthy and without any issues except airplane sickness, but that's to be expected when a puppy is being transported for the first time.

    Frank & Adam were very easy to work with and super responsive. Very patient, kind, and professional. I am tremendously happy with my new boy. He is smart, happy, and playful. Thank you both for giving us this opportunity!

    I couldn’t be happier with my experience getting my Giant Schnauzer, Thor, from Adam and Frank at Down Low Kennels. From day one, they were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the breed. They provided regular updates, photos, and videos while Thor was growing, and were always available to answer questions with patience and honesty. Thor came to me healthy, confident, and well-socialized — a true testament to the care and dedication they put into raising their puppies. The love and effort they put into their dogs is evident in every interaction. If you’re looking for a breeder who truly cares about the well-being of their dogs and matching them with the right homes, I can’t recommend Adam and Frank enough. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful companion!

    Frank & Adam were so good to work with! They were very responsive to all of our questions, and gave us updates throughout the whole puppy process. Our puppy Arlo is a sweet boy and growing like a weed! If you are looking to add a giant schnauzer to the family DLK is the best!

    We had a fantastic experience working with Down Low Kennel in bringing our puppy, Lola, home! From start to finish, the communication was excellent—clear, timely, and super helpful. They kept us updated every step of the way and were always available to answer any questions we had. Shipping our puppy was an absolute breeze. Everything was handled with care and professionalism, and Lola arrived happy, healthy, and full of tail wags. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our new furry family member and highly recommend Frank & Adam from Down Low Kennel to anyone looking for a smooth, trustworthy, and joyful puppy adoption process!
