I'm the breeder behind Monte's Pettite Schnauzers located in Longview, TX. Our Schnauzer pups are home-raised. We put a lot of care into socializing them so they can transition easily into their new lives. Tails are docked & dewclaws are removed. Matching each family with the right puppy is the key to our success and yours. We are honored to bring another member of the family into your life! All our parents are health tested . Puppies are handled & loved on daily . They know doggy doors , which makes potty training much easier. Most are mega coated. When you become a member of our extended puppy family , you get me 24/7 lifetime for help & guidance with your baby. No question is trivial. I only breed schnauzers , which in my opinion are the best . No shedding & most people that have allergies can live with schnauzers .basically hyper allergenic for most.

Why Monte started breeding
I had a schnauzers many years ago & bred 1 litter. It was such a rewarding experience. I’ve always loved schnauzers & think they are the best & fell in love with the babies! When i retired I chose to breed this awesome breed ! I love that schnauzers are hyper allergenic & don’t shed. They work well with most people that have allergies. They are very loyal & have different personalities like humans are different.
