History

Thank you for visiting my new website, Specialty Schnauzers.

I appreciate your attention and subsequent upcoming business.

Before you and yours delve into the fun and exciting journey of finding your perfect Miniature Schnauzer puppy, I would like to share briefly my past journey with loving, training and breeding Miniature Schnauzers.

My previous Miniature Schnauzer company was Island Miniature Schnauzers, located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. In the 18 years of operation, I developed a healthy, robust and sweet-tempered line of brightly coloured Miniature Schnauzers.

To enhance and ensure a wide range of genetics, my breeding stock was “home grown”, as-well-as, I purchased breeding stock puppies from Florida, Colorado and Texas, resulting in the presentation of healthy and happy puppies to my customers.

The website that you are currently enjoying is the benefit of 20 years of breeding expertise, from loving to training to breeding Miniature Schnauzers. My past website was closed-down in August 2024 due to family health challenges.

You will enjoy the logical and easy-to-understand format of Specialty Schnauzer’s website. My focus is still on offering customers healthy, happy and beautiful Miniature Schnauzers with additional product offerings, such as puppy receiving blankets, puppy couch pillows, puppy paintings, T-Shirts and a line of clothing: SS Cozzy Pants.

Each subject matter is headed up by a tab with the contents briefly described on the tab. Each tab has applicable linking to relative mentioned material.

Training Sessions

For both canines and humans…a full day training session held at the Fir and Prairie event facility located in Irvine, Alberta.

Puppy behavioural training with the participation of the Owners and their family members…a 3 hour training session held at my ranch.

Details of these training sessions are found under the tab entitled “Canine and Human Training”. These training sessions teach you, yours and family members how to calmly develop an intended energy that allows you and yours to relate and activate an honest and rewarding relationship between a human and a canine. These training sessions are also available to people who do not own a dog…I will match you up with one of my dogs for this training.

Puppy and Dog Paintings

These paintings are inspired from a puppy or dog picture and painted by the world-famous Painter, Christine Crawford, Victoria, BC.

The Victoria, BC Fabric Designer, Brenna Woods, designs doggie related pieces of art ranging from etched glass to puppy receiving blankets to couch pillows.
