I am a preservation Miniature Schnauzer breeder located just outside of the city of Edmonton, Albrta, Canada.  

I was introduced to Miniature Schnauzers when I was 16 years old, after being hired to do some training and house sitting for a local preservation breeder.  At the age of 18 the breeder gifted me my first Minature Schnauzer named Rosie - Bowsers Classy Reflection, whom I kept as a treasured pet. 

I began my jouney in dogs shows and performace sports with Rosie and with several Doberman Pinschers.  I took some agility classes and some introductory obedience classes with Rosie.  I began showing in conformation with my Doberman Pinschers.  I have competed in obedience, rally obedience, draft, sprinters, chase ability, earthdog, barn hunt, and in conformation with my dogs over the years.

In 2018 I began my journey to breed and exhibit Miniature Schnauzers in conformation, after Harper (CH.Bowsers Every Line By Design) joined my household as my foundation bitch.  I strive to produce Miniature Schnauzers who conform to the breed standard as set by the national breed club. 

I am stongly opposed to the breeding of toy/tea cup Schnauzers, or to breeding any Schnuazer that is not of the officially recognized colours.  Purebred Miniature Schnauzers should be Salt and Pepper, Black and Silver, or Black in colour only.  They should be in the range of 12 to 14 inches at the withers (point of shoulder).   Schnauzers come in three sizes only; Miniature, Standard, and Giant. 

I love that Miniature Schnauzers have big personalities in a compact package.  They are highly intellient and trainable, and adapt to most envionments seamlessly.  They make excellent family pets and are suitable for new dog owners, but intelligent and physically fit enough to meet the needs of an advanced owner who would like to pursue dog sports and other working dog activities.
