About Laura
I was a professional dog groomer for well over a decade. And have been in the pet industry for even longer. I find socialization, behavior, and training very important.
What makes Laura’s program special
My goals are to maintain a very home like environment for them to grow up in. Along with proper health tests and beginnings of training and socialization. It will always be a small program with my dogs being family first. Quality over quantity.

Why Laura started breeding
A miniature schnauzer puppy fell into my lap at work one day. A 6 week old puppy a family no longer wanted. In my determination to train and socialize him properly when being so young.. I then fell completely in love with the breed and what they are capable of.
