Schnauzer Ladies

Miss Mini: Now retired. Salt/Pepper Miniature Schnauzer female. Mini was a devoted family member and a great little mother. Miss Mini loved all the activity that went

on and enjoyed playing with our grandkids. She was an excellent mama and never got upset with her puppies, even when they were old enough to be weaned

Nice to hear from you. I am doing very well. You found a wonderful family for me to retire with and if this is the golden years I am in for quite a life. First,

I am in love with Nicholas my new families 16 year old son. I have claimed him as my new master and what a super choice! I get to sleep on his big comfy bed with my head

on his pillow next to his every night. I sit on a chair next to him when it is meal time and I even get table treats. I found I love cooked carrots and green beans. We go for car rides

and I see things I have never seen before and I even had a bite or two of a McDonald's hamburger without the fixins'. My new family has a couple of cats and we have had our

differences but we can play together now. I have claimed an overstuffed pillow on the couch and will sleep for hours curled up by the fireplace. The other two dogs, the Lab mix

and the other mini schnauzer have accepted me with open paws. However, the loveseat gets a bit crowded with all three of us taking our siestas at the same time.

My new daddy shares the established routine of my sibs whereby I get Milkbones every morning before he leaves for work and I even have managed to sneak a few on my own. My new daddy

calls me Baby and does not mind when I sneak those extra treats - he thinks it is cute to see me clamoring in the box.

Tell Daddy Michael thank you for the care package - it was a great way to greet my new sibs. They thought it was great to have a new sib that shares so willingly but you would have too if you would

see my new brother who is over 100#! I had an awesome car ride home as I slept on my new Mommy's lap all the way home on a cuddly pillow.

There is a lot of snow here since yesterday so I have been playing in the snow - I love to run through it at full speed but when I come indoors I feel like a walking snowball. However,

I have learned not to potty in the house and am rewarded for my good behavior. This was a problem but I have overcome. I have learned that when I jump on Nicholas's lap and nuzzle his

cheek he will take me outdoors. He thinks it is funny that I will dig in the snow and create quite the mini blizzard so we both enjoy being outside.

My new family has a huge secure second floor deck and they let me out to get a breath of fresh air, play with a cat or two or just check out the neighborhood. There are a lot of things to see

Things are great here and while I do think about you please know life is good. I am supposed to be visiting the vet in a couple of weeks for spaying but I do not know what that means.

I did overhear my new mom saying it would only be an overnight stay. Maybe I misunderstood and I will be spending a night at a spa!

Anyway, tell everyone I am doing fine and I do love my new family. They clamor for me whenever I am not sleeping and my new Dad calls me up on his lap a lot of times to snuggle -

he has a very warm and soft belly. I have even heard them say there is not enough of me to share with everyone.

You can email me anytime and the reason I did not contact you before was I did not want you to be sad because my new family loves me, takes care of me, spoils me and above

Oh, Dad is calling me and I hear the Milkbone box opening! Ah, the Golden Years!

Maggie Mae: Retired and here forever. This little Black/Silver girl is the love of my life. Even though Maggie needs a bath, she's still the cutest little schnauzer with the sweetest temperament.

When I went to look at her for the first time, I left my pocketbook in the car. But it only took one look to melt my heart.

I ran as fast as I could to get my purse and I have never been sorry that I did. Soggy52@AOL.com

Lady Sadie: Now retired. Sadie was a great mother always gentle with her puppies and humans.

I just wanted to let you know that Sadie is doing wonderful!!! We love her so much. It was rocky the first few days with my three year old and her.

My three year old wanted to hug her too tight and Sadie didn't care for that. With a little coaching on both parts they are now best buds. We have discovered

that she loves to play in the water and likes to ride on the boat. We took her to the lake last week and she ran around in the shallow part of the water.

( I wouldn't let her go too deep because it was cold. She got her feet wet.) She goes to different beds each night when she sleeps. The first night here she slept with my 11 year old son.

She mostly sleeps with me, but she likes to sleep with the kids too. Sadie gets along great with our boxer, Sweetie. It was so cute, the other day we were outside playing with the ball and frisby

with Sweetie, and Sadie ran up to try and take the frisby from Sweetie. The rest of the time it was a race between the two on who was going to get the toy first. Sweetie got to the toy every time first,

but Sadie never gave up. Sadie fits right in with us "like a glove". I couldn't have asked for a better companion. Thank you so much for Sadie. I always tell her that she's my little princess and my

little gift from God, and I think she understands me. When I tell her that she gets real close to me. I could go on and on about her. I can't thank you enough for Sadie.

God Bless you for raising such a wonderful pet and companion. I have to buy her some bunny ears for Easter now. My Sweetie won't wear them maybe Sadie will. :)

Happy Easter and God Bless you and your family.

Love, The Bowman Family

Ruedee Jane: Retired at age three. What can we say about our Salt/Pepper girl Ruedee Jane? Well, we can't boast enough! Ruedee's call name comes from her champion lines.

Ruedee's daddy is Ruedesheim's Dream Chaser from Glojan Kennel. Ruedee is much the little pest in our kennel. She loves to tease and play keep away when no one else wants to.

This gets Ruedee into a lot of trouble. Ruedee is smart, playful and always eager to learn new things. Ruedee Jane would love to compete in agility.

Miss Hattie: is the daughter of Sadie and Herbie. Of course, it goes without saying she is Black in color.

What a beauty she is! Hattie has a fine pedigree, a very sweet and playful temperament and carries the champion look.

This is what a little black fur ball turns into. But it is so hard to get a good picture of Hattie.

She is so gorgeous and black......soft silky fur. It's sad a picture can't do her justice.

This was our little Trudi girl. Trudi went to live in VA. And from what I've been hearing, Trudi is a mighty happy girl living with the Weavers..

I'm leaving Trudi's picture on our website so you can see how nicely her ears are cropped.

People are always asking me for the name of a vet who can do ears just like Trudi and Hattie's.

Jilly Bean: is the daughter of Herbie and Maggie Mae. She is the spitting image of her Mother.

Jilly is Black/Silver and looks like a puppy even though she is full grown. Of course, she has that same

Jilly just didn't want to have her picture taken. Sniff, Sniff. I think I need a bath.

Jilly wanting in after a hard day of play outside. Jilly yawning. She was so patient with me.

Ashland's first day here and she is feeling a little unsure. But now she loves it here.

Ashland: our Black/Silver Southern lady. She is so sweet natured and loving, she follows me everywhere I go. She gets along with everyone here and

doesn't even complain when she is groomed. Ashland comes from a long line of champions and all her puppies are just as sweet as she is.

This is Suzie Q. on a windy day. Suzie doesn't like the wind. She is afraid and has her tail tucked in.

Suzie follows me every where. I'm always afraid I'll step on her. Sometimes I call her a little bandit.

Here's Suzie after a hard day of play. I gave Suzie a bath and now she is pretty again.

Suzie is all grown up but will look like a puppy forever. She is small (toy size). This little girl would melt the

coldest heart with her sweet temperament. Look for Suzie to have some gorgeous puppies.

This is Lacie. Lacie is all dirty from playing with Suzie. This is a side view of Lacie.

Lacie: Daughter of Ashland and Scout. Smart, playful and just a typical ordinary little Schnauzer.

Lacie loves to play chase...especially with my socks. This is one happy little girl. I swear she smiles up at me every day.

Lacie is very verbal and with a little encouragement, I think she could actually say words. She still does good at getting her opinion across!

Fancy is still a baby but when she grows up, watch out! Fancy is playful and smart and comes from nice breeding.

We'll put more information here when we know more about Fancy. Right now, I'm just enjoying her being a puppy.
