I'm the breeder behind Maxwell House Schnauzers located in Blountville, TN. We are breeding Miniature Schnauzers to the breed standard with a concentration on health and temperament. We do Early Neurological Stimulation which improves the growth and development of the pup’s immune system, cardiovascular system, and stress tolerance. Temperament testing approximately 7 weeks is also done.

Why Linda started breeding
We have had many dogs over our 47 years of marriage and many as children. I used to play house as a little girl with my dogs, the puppies being the babies. We have started many times to start breeding but found that to do things right it required more time and money than we had while raising our human children. We have now decided that we need to share the Miniature Schnauzer with everyone.
