Our family came to a a huge decision back when I was in my 20’s with two youngsters and a husband. What kind of dog to get? We were on the search for a fur baby on the smaller side, hypoallergenic, and could keep up with our active lifestyle. We chose the schnauzer and have never looked back. We knew this is the breed for us. I know this is as equally a big choice for you! We raise and handle the pups exactly how we would want our fur babies cared for.
Combining both my passion for puppies. As well as provide puppies that are a compliment to the breed. “Sparkling Schnauzers” came to life.
Schnauzers are wonderful companions. They are a very sociable breed and enjoy being with their humans as well as other dogs. Clever and intelligent animals, they require mental stimulation as well as exercise. Schnauzers are known to be as stubborn. Its just in their nature.
Dams are spoiled from the moment they arrive. As if should be! The mothers love NuVet Plus wafers that provides with essential vitamins for not only the mom but the pups as well.
The puppies are a part of our family which means they are apart of every day of the next 8 weeks of their lives. They will be handled by children. We practice Early Neurological Stimulation. (ENS) This method consists of introducing the puppy to new surfaces, sounds and different obstacles. All used to stimulant the pups mind.
Around 4 weeks of age potty training begins with the introduction of the litter box. This teaches them at an early age, that there is a place to relieve themselves and to keep the living area clean.
When they are able to be potty trained in a safe place, their litter proves to be beneficial in aiding the transition.
Trimming the dogs coats starts at 2 weeks. I start trimming around the ears and sanitary area as well a nail clip. This helps teach the pup that grooming is a pleasant experience.
Every pup receives a parvo booster and a first round of 5/1 vaccine. They are dewormed on a schedule. Our local vet docks the puppies tails and dews within the first 3 days of life. We do not crop ears.
When there are no puppies on the ground, we encourage you to visit us. Get to know our moms and dads. Come check out a few puppies from our past litters. Visiting us reinforces that we are a happy, clean, haven for our schnauzers.
