Legacy Miniature Schnauzers
Meet the breeder
I'm Patty L., the breeder behind Legacy Miniature Schnauzers located in Pasco, WA. We started training and showing dogs in the early 1980s, with Doberman Pinschers. Our involvement with dogs has always been a hobby for us, not a primary source of income. Mack had the highest scoring Champion Doberman Pinscher in obedience, CH Breakaway's Mastermind, in the US in 1986. We later switched to Miniature Schnauzers and were able to get a good start with dogs from a long-time show breeder friend.
