Sadly Hazel passed away at 13 years of age November 2021..Hazel was a sweet and quirky girl that was the daughter of our first Black Standard Schnauzer Juno...she loved to retrieve right into her old age, though in the end she mostly just barked at the younger dogs as they retrieved.  Hazel was mom to three lovely litters ...Goodbye sweet Hazel rest easy old girl

2021 New Year New Pups!

January 2021 arrived and we are excited to say that Carney delivered a beautiful litter of 6 female and 2 male pups.  In these new crazy times of covid and restrictions which include a lack of reliable Veterinary care it is always an anxious time for us...Carney did a beautiful job going into labour mid morning and delivering her beautiful new family in about 5 hours, all was calm and no drama, what a relief.
Pups and mom are healthy and pups are big and fat and thriving under Carney's care.
All the pups have homes so I am not currently excepting new inquiries at the moment but will post info as I have it on the possibility of future pups and availability soon.

All Natural....naturally

I have been promoting the natural ears on our breed for about 15 years now and have been very happy with the results.  As I move forward into 2019 all our pups will have natural tails as well.

I think it is time that people embrace the new look, ears...tails and all.  As more and more Vets stop performing cosmetic surgery on our dogs the procedures are becoming totally obsolete and after almost 30 years in the breed I am not sad to say goodbye to ear cropping and tail docking and hello to our breed in all their natural splendour

Goodbye my beautiful girl

February 2016 I had to say goodbye to my most beautiful schnauzer Daisy.  Anyone that came to visit met Daisy and most wanted to take her home.  She was a delight both inside and out, Daisy never met a person she didn't like and never her entire life did she have a quarrel with another dog.  I will miss you girl...Champion Dinsdale Champagne Upsy Daisy R.I.P.

Meet the little girl we kept from Bea's litter, we call her Beasley of course in honour of her mom and to carry on the tradition as Bea was named after her father Beamish.  She is a fun pup and is certainly livening things up around the house.

Beasley and Banner are the BEST of friends and I adore watching the two together. 

Below are are couple more photos of her
Beasley was the puppy that wore the dark pink ribbon in the puppy photos...here she is below 'before' I actually chose her to be mine

Milestones

9/21/2015

Raising a litter of pups is a series of milestones...the selection of a mate, the ultrasound that tells us we have pups on the way, the whelping of the litter, the first crucial days, opening of eyes to mark the 2nd week, the introduction of food, so many important milestones that as breeders we wait and watch for, these things that tell us all is normal.
This litter has been a bit of a new adventure for me after more than 20 years of pups arriving here.  My first litter that I have ever raised without the benefit of the pups mother.  It has gone from devastating to stressful, tiring and finally optimistic.  We are now well into the 6th week and the pups are right on track, exactly where they should be,  hitting all our milestones.  They will be 7 weeks old at the end of this week and we will have our normal vet check up, puppy shots, I will introduce them to being groomed, all exciting and thankfully very normal milestones.
We are now headed to the final litter milestone and are less than two weeks away from them heading off to their new homes, this is one I was not sure we would get too 6.5 weeks ago

Life happens...

I hear so often that I have such a great life, spending my days with dogs, training, raising pups and don't get e wrong, it is pretty amazing, most days.  This past summer life with dogs took a turn for the worse and what is usually a fun and exciting time became tragic.

I was excited and looking forward to a wonderful litter of pups to arrive, the mom, Bea a gorgeous Fiddle and Beamish daughter.   Bea lived with my friend in Wisconsin and obtained her American championship with four major wins.  Bea, a funny, outgoing girl came to me at the end of July to deliver her pups.  Sadly, and for the first time, we lost Bea during an emergency c-section to deliver her 11 pups.  This was devastating to me, a breeders worse nightmare. 

I had little time to mourn the loss of the beautiful Bea as I had to work day and night to feed and raise her pups.  It was an intense 3 weeks feeding the pups every few hours, little sleep but, I am happy to say they have thrived and are now almost 5 weeks of age and normal happy pups in every way.

I have a Puppy Blog that follows the birth and the raising of Bea's pups, have a look they are sure a lovely group of pups  http://beapups.blogspot.ca/

A time to take a breath

The end of February and our 2 Cyrus litters are now off to their new homes.  It was a crazy stressful time in December as both Hazel and Clover ended up needing C-sections.  Thankfully all went relatively smoothly, though, I am sure delivering my pups on Christmas morning was not what my Vets envisioned, oops!

My plan was to keep a little girl, there was one in Clover's litter that I adored from the beginning, and three ladies in Hazel's to look at.  I dithered and dithered and finally decided on one of the Hazel & Cyrus daughters.  I call her Banner and she is a super little girl that I am excited to see how she develops.

Right now I am finding it hard to think about future litters, still recovering from these two, I will have a Pepper & Salt litter, mom will be a Fiddle daughter called Bea.  She is an American champion and is co-owned with my friend Brooke in Wisconsin.  We are still trying to figure out who the father will be,  We expect the breeding to happen in the early Spring and pups will be ready late in the Summer or early Autumn.   I will have updates here http://standardschnauzer.weebly.com/litter-2015.html  Below is a show photo of Bea on her way to her championship.
