I'm the breeder behind Lovey's Miniature Schnauzers located in Topeka, KS. We focus on health and temperament with each puppy. By using early neurological stimulation, early scent introduction, Puppy Culture, and a curriculum tailored for each litter, we're able to give our puppies a head start in life and socialization. Each puppy gets one-on-one attention and is well-loved before going home!
Q. & A. with Cristina
Why did you start breeding?
My family and I absolutely LOVE this breed! I found that I kept wanting to get more and more Miniature Schnauzers and so I decided to breed. This way I can still love on the adults and raise puppies for families to enjoy as much as I do! They're like chips. You can't just have one!
What makes your program special?
I use Puppy Culture to get them ready for life and to transition easily to new homes. This is a vital part of being a breeder! The first 16 weeks of a puppy's life shape them forever, and 8 of those weeks are spent with the breeder. I make sure those 8 weeks are filled with learning, love, and care!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include wheaten, white, parti, liver, salt and pepper, black and silver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
