Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Laurel Crown Schnauzers located in Brashear, TX. Laurel Crown Schnauzers takes a holistic approach to raising and parenting our Mini Schnauzers. Every effort is put into health and puppy curriculum to ensure that our dogs and puppies have all the resources needed to thrive to their full potential. As a small home-based breeding program, quality bloodlines, a well-balanced temperament, and health are our top priorities.

Megan’s experience

  • About Megan

    We are a small, in-home breeding program. We only produce Miniature Schnauzers, no toy-size, standard or giant schnauzers. Our goal is to produce healthy, loving dogs for those desiring a quality companion animal for a pet-only home. We do not sell breeding rights and do not ever want our puppies in breeding situations. Our program strives to prepare all of our Miniature Schnauzers to excel in their forever homes. Our litters are carefully planned well in advance so please be prepared to wait with us for the perfect puppy to become an addition to your family.

  • What makes Megan’s program special

    We are enthusiastic about our program and look forward to advancing the wonderful qualities of the Miniature Schnauzer with a focus on health, temperament, and appearance! Our love for our dogs is reflected in the personal touches we put into making sure the addition of your new puppy is a truly joyful experience. We health test each puppy and provide a breed-specific health guarantee, quality Vet care, perform the world-renowned ENS and ESI exercises for advanced brain development, we litterbox train our pups, begin crate training, and provide a complimentary pre-paid lifetime Baxter & Bella training membership for each of our pups. Our puppies are sold as pets only with no rights to breed. With this in mind, we offer a $50.00 rebate upon proof of spay/neuter of our pups at the appropriate age.

Getting a puppy from Megan

Megan has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Price

Puppy prices range from $2,500 - $3,500 and include a non-refundable deposit of $500.

“Pricing is dependent on coat and eye color. We set prices at 6 weeks of puppy’s age and do puppy picks then. We always reserve the right to keep the pick of the litter for ourselves. Puppies are secured on a first-come, first-serve basis. Our program also reserves the right to respectfully decline an application or cancel a sale by our own discretion at any time during the sales process. If we make the decision to cancel a sale for any reason, on our own merit, then we will refund the reservation fee. The remainder of the purchase price balance is due in cash when we meet in person to transfer possession of the puppy. Alternatively, it can be made 14 days prior to delivery using the Good Dog payment method. We do not accept any other payment options or payment apps. By paying a reservation fee on a puppy, you are securing that puppy and agreeing to the health guarantee and to our purchase agreement. Please be sure you review both policies and have a clear understanding before we move forward. We do not refund reservation fees if a buyer changes their mind. We also will not hold a puppy at any time during the application process without a reservation fee applied to the purchase price. These reservation fees must be made using the Good Dog platform. No other payment methods or payment apps are accepted for reservation fees.”

Contract and health guarantee

Megan may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Megan 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 Megan directly.

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

We do the Early Neurological Stimulation protocol, ESI protocol for scent detection, litterbox train our pups, and follow a puppy curriculum within a controlled environment. We also introduce them to crate training at 6 weeks to make the transition to their new home easier for both pups and new parents. Puppies are exposed to people, cats, other dogs, sounds, an array of enrichment toys, and other stimuli. We give puppies their first puppy haircut and do regular nail clipping and filing. A lot of time is spent engaging in hands-on playtime, with an abundance of love, reassurance, positive reinforcement, cuddles, and kisses. I utilize the following enrichment methods: We expose our puppies to many different sounds (doorbells, fireworks, barking dogs, children playing, men talking, horns, motorcycles, etc.). By doing this it helps to desensitize them to many things which may otherwise trigger a negative response in puppies., early scent stimulation from days 3-16, Body handling protocol, including sitting still for grooming, Puppy Culture , Litterbox training, Chew, e.g. Bone, Grooming Desensitization, Toys, e.g. Ball, Touch Desensitization, Household Desensitization, Crate Training, Early Neurological Stimulation, Sound Stimulation, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Cats, and Socialized with Children.

Puppy health practices

All puppies are dewormed with Pyrantel Pamoate, Fenbendazole, and Toltrazuril on an age-appropriate schedule, have age-appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped with prepaid lifetime registration of owner’s contact information and my information as back-up, and are health-checked & certified by our licensed Veterinarian. Tails and dewclaws are removed by our Veterinarian. We are also doing DNA and genetic health testing for EACH puppy. We do not allow breeding of our pups so we provide a $50.00 reimbursement for proof of spay/neuter at the puppy’s appropriate age. Please Note: we do not register all of our litters, however, the dam is FCI, AKC and sire is AKC. We sell to pet homes only and don’t sell with papers due to so many scammers falsifying documents and finding loopholes. We will provide a birth certificate, DNA testing information on each puppy, but no registration papers. If papers are that important to you, we understand, however, this is not the right puppy for you.

Extras

We send our puppies home with crate, Birth certificate , training support, samples of vitamins , Treats, Blanket with Littermates Scent, Microchip, Puppy Collar, Veterinarian Records, Certificate of Health, Toy with Mom's Scent, and Food Starter Bag.
