All About Me.....
How long have you been raising Mini Schnauzers and Maltese?
I have been raising Miniature Schnauzers for 10 years and I have owned Miniature Schnauzers for over 20 years. I have been raising Maltese for 8 years.
Have you had other breeds in the past?
Yes. I have had Yorkies, Shih Tzus, Pomeraranias, and Poodles but I didn’t raise those breeds for very long. I tried raising those other breeds but didn’t fall in love with them the way I love Maltese and Mini Schnauzers. I quickly discovered that because a particular breed is selling for a good price, I don’t have it in me to raise puppies for money only…..I have to love what I’m doing or I don’t do it well and that isn’t fair to the puppies…..and it makes me sad. I didn’t get into breeding to feel sad, I did it because it makes me happy. Needless to say, I found homes for the other breeds and now I’m a happy-go-lucky person-again! My explanation may sound silly to you, but it is the truth. I don’t raise dogs for the money. I have a full time job. I raise dogs because it gives me joy to see them every day and to see the joy the puppies bring to you!! I also like hearing about the puppies as they grow up and talking to other ‘dog people’ who love their dogs.
