When I first got Lucy, I realized what an amazing, intelligent, loving dog she is. I decided I wanted to share this breed with other individuals. After doing a Embark DNA and health test, I discovered Lucy was a Miniature Schnauzer and a Poodle mix, which makes her a Schnoodle. Her stud, Ryker and Lucy had 4 litters. Ryker is 100% Miniature Schnauzer, who I later purchased and is now known as "Ricky" and lives with me.
Before breeding Lucy, I needed to learn as much as I could about Schnoodles as I am what is considered a novice or hobby breeder. I learned both Miniature Schnauzers and Poodles are considered hypo-allergenic and non-shedding. They also make great pets for all ages, are absolutely adorable, loyal, intelligent and have quirky personalities. Whether you live in the city or have room to run, these dogs will do well with someone that can provide them with moderate exercise and then afterwards, cuddle up with you on the couch.
Although I still consider myself a novice/hobby breeder, I am passionate about raising healthy puppies. Both Lucy and Ricky with me and their puppies are birthed and cared for 24/7 in my home where they are safely monitored in a clean and healthy environment.
Breeding is a major responsibility and a passion for us. It's a lifestyle choice that we have made, and we are willing to devote and sacrifice our time to. To us, a dog is never "just a pet". They are our legacy, our "grandpuppies"; a little boy's best friend; a little girl's protector; an elderly person's therapy or cuddle partner, your furever companion, and of course, a member of your family!
