Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Tosca Standard Schnauzers located in Springdale, OH. I'm very passionate about Schnauzers, and I love spending my life with them. These wonderful dogs are why I love what I do. I breed healthy, beautiful puppies. I take my job seriously, knowing that my puppies will become someone's darling comrade. Each puppy is considered a member of my family, and I can certify they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to make a smooth transition into their forever homes. My dogs are bred for those specifics, and I take pride in my breeding program.

Patricia’s experience

  • About Patricia

    I was co-editor of the Standard Schnauzer Club of America Source Book 4. I produced the interactive disc "The Standard Schnauzer", as well as the "Standard Schnauzer at a Glimpse" for AKC Judge's Education. This breed is my passion, and I love spending my life with them. They make my world go round, and I'm so excited to share Standard Schnauzer with you and your family.

    My dogs make great devoted family dogs that have dazzling coats, magnificent balance, and fantastic overall health. I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to bring home a Standard Schnauzer.
