If you’re searching for Miniature Schnauzer breeders in Washington State, I’m excited to share more about what makes our Miniature Schnauzer puppies truly special.
Family-Raised Miniature Schnauzers for Well-Socialized Puppies
What sets us apart from other Miniature Schnauzer breeders is that our puppies aren’t raised in a kennel — they’re raised in our home, where they become part of our daily life. From the moment they’re born, our puppies experience the sounds, activities, and interactions that come with living in a family. Whether it’s children, adults, or other pets, our puppies are used to it all! This helps them adjust smoothly to their new families, making their transition easier.
Because we’re a small Miniature Schnauzer breeders, we can spend personal time with each puppy. This ensures they receive individual attention, love, and care. Our goal is to raise confident, friendly, and well-adjusted puppies that fit perfectly into your home, no matter your family dynamic.
Over 36 Years of Schnauzer Breeding Experience
We’ve been Miniature Schnauzer breeders for over 36 years, and during that time, we’ve learned exactly what it takes to produce healthy, high-quality puppies. Our experience helps us focus on the most important factors: health, temperament, and conformation. We specialize in black and silver, black, and salt and pepper color puppies. These beautiful colors are just one of the many reasons people fall in love with Miniature Schnauzers, and their coats are relatively easy to care for with regular grooming.
Superior Parents for Exceptional Puppies
At Premier Miniature Schnauzers, we believe that superior parents are the foundation for exceptional puppies. We carefully select our breeding pairs, focusing on their health, temperament, and adherence to the AKC breed standard. Many of our dogs are champion-sired or from champion lines, ensuring that our puppies inherit the best traits possible.
Our goal is to produce puppies that are as close to the AKC breed standard as possible, including the ideal size of 12-14 inches tall and 12-15 pounds in weight. However, we don’t just focus on appearance—we also prioritize personality and temperament. We want our puppies to be not only beautiful but also loving, friendly, and easy to train.
Responsible and Reputable Breeding
We are committed to being a responsible and reputable breeder. Our goal is to raise healthy, happy puppies that will bring years of joy to their new families. To ensure this, all of our puppies come with AKC limited registration. This means they are sold as pets and not for breeding, ensuring their new families can enjoy the companionship of a well-bred Miniature Schnauzer without the concerns of managing a breeding program.
Matching Puppies with the Perfect Families
Every puppy is unique, and we understand that every family has different needs. That’s why we take the time to carefully match each puppy with the right home. By asking prospective families to fill out our puppy application, we get to know you and what you’re looking for in a puppy. This helps us match the perfect puppy to your family’s lifestyle and preferences.
We also conduct personality testing on each puppy. Whether you’re looking for a playful, adventurous pup or a calm, cuddly companion, we’ll work with you to find the puppy that’s the best fit for your home. This thoughtful matching process helps ensure long-term happiness for both you and your new puppy.
Early Potty Training and Crate Training
We know how important it is for new puppy owners to have a well-prepared puppy. That’s why we start potty training and crate training before the puppies even leave our home. By the time your puppy arrives at your house, they will already have a good understanding of where to go potty, making the housebreaking process much easier for you.
Additionally, our puppies are introduced to crate training early on. Crates provide a safe space for puppies to relax and rest, and by starting this training at an early age, we help ensure your puppy is comfortable and secure in their crate.
First Grooming and Dewclaw Removal
Miniature Schnauzers have gorgeous coats that require regular grooming, so we make sure that every puppy receives their first grooming, wash, and nail clip before going to their new homes. This early exposure to grooming helps make future grooming sessions less stressful for both you and your puppy.
We also remove the puppies’ dewclaws for safety and health. Dewclaws are the small, extra claws located higher up on the leg, and they can sometimes get caught on things and cause injury. Removing them early ensures your puppy stays safe and comfortable.
Lifetime Genetic Health Warranty
We are committed to the health of every puppy we raise. That’s why we offer a lifetime genetic health warranty. This gives you peace of mind, knowing that your puppy has been bred with care and attention to genetic health. Should any genetic issues arise, we are here to support you and your puppy throughout their life.
