We are pleased to announce that we have begun our EARLY NEUROLOGICAL STIMULATION or BIO SENSOR Program, using thermal and tactile stimiluation.  We begin our program  with all of our puppies beginning at 3 days of age to 16 days.  This program, developed by the US Military, will ensure that, for the rest of each puppy's life, they will have: *Stronger heartbeats  *Stronger Heart Rates  *Faster Adrenaline system when needed  *More resistance to Disease  *Greater tolerance to Stress.

BEWARE OF BLUE EYED SCHNAUZERS

1/6/2019

Merle is a pattern in a dog's coat. Merle comes in different colors and patterns. The merle gene creates mottled patches of color in a solid or piebald coat, blue or odd-colored eyes, and can affect skin pigment as well. Health issues are more typical and more severe when two merles are bred together, so it is recommended that a merle be bred to a dog with a solid coat color only.

Ocular defects:  Dogs who are homozygous for the merle pattern gene often have visual and auditory deficits. These dogs are sometimes referred to as 'double merle' and sometimes incorrectly referred to as 'lethal white.' Ocular defects include microphthalmia, conditions causing increased ocular pressure, and colobomas, among others. Double merle dogs may be deaf or blind or both, and can carry ocular defects in blue or colored eyes. Currently no studies have been done to prove whether or not the merle gene affects the eyes, causing blindness.

A coloboma (from the Greek koloboma, meaning defect) is a hole in one of the structures of the eye, such as the iris, retina, choroid, or optic disc. The hole is present from birth (except for one case, where it developed within the first few months of the child's life) and can be caused when a gap called the choroid fissure, which is present during early stages of prenatal development, fails to close up completely before a child is born.
The classical description in medical literature is of a key-hole shaped defect. A coloboma can occur in one eye (unilateral) or both eyes (bilateral). Most cases of coloboma affect only the iris. The level of visible impairment of those with a coloboma can range from having no vision problems to being able to see only light or dark, depending on severity and the position of the coloboma (or colobomata of more than one is present). It affects less than one in every 10,000 births.
Auditory defects: In one study of 38 dachshunds by a German researcher, partial hearing loss was found in 54.6% of double merles and 36.8% of single merles. 1 out of the 11 (9.1%) double merles was fully deaf while none of the single merles were. Another study done by Texas A&M University found that of 22 double merles, 8 were completely deaf and two were deaf in one ear. Of 48 single merles, only one was deaf in one ear, and none were completely deaf. In another study of 70 dogs, 15 of them Catahoula Curs, 4 of the Catahoulas were deaf, while 86% of the double merles of other breeds were deaf.Deaf, blind, and deaf and blind dogs can have good lives when properly cared for. There are a variety of internet groups dedicated to supporting carers of such dogs. Deaf dogs can compete successfully in agility and there are many anecdotal reports of deaf/blind dogs earning their Canine Good Citizen certification, working as therapy dogs, and competing in dog sports like tracking or Nosework.

Why a schnauzer?

9/23/2018

0 Comments

 
We fell in love with this precious breed many years ago.  As an owner of a Miniature Schnauzer we experienced all of the love and loyalty this breed has to offer.  There are so many reasons I could give as to why you should own a healthy schnauzer, but I will just name a few:
* Full of love
* Very loyal
* Playful
* Best security system you could ask for!
* Good with children
* DO NOT SHED

There are a lot of backyard breeders out there, so just be careful selecting your new Best Friend. 
Make sure you visit the facility or send someone near the breeder to visit.
If a Breeder does not allow you to visit and see Sire & Dam - JUST WALK AWAY!
Ask for their Department of Agriculture Inspection date and License #. 
If you want a "purebred", make sure both parents are Registered AKC.

But most of all.........Make sure you are willing to make this 14-15 year commitment of loving and providing the best home possible for your new Best Friend!
