In October 2016, we had to put our beloved Elvis (Boxer and Rottweiler mix) to sleep. He was 14. I had a schnauzer that used to play with Elvis all the time. So fun to watch them play tug of war with the schnauzer’s rope. I started looking at Schnauzers again because I missed mine so. I found a website for KSS and I contacted Kristin. They didn’t have a litter at the time, but she said to keep watching the website for available litters and Kristin was also going to make a big announcement. We were second place in the essay contest she created. But they said they were impressed with our story. My husband worked in GA and I was at home with my 2 young children and an older sibling. They missed their dad terribly. Kristin worked with us a lot and we were able to get our Otis Redding home. When we picked him up at the airport, he was such a nervous little thing, but as soon as we got to our house, he perked up and played with the kids and he became my baby, even though the children carted him around as well. He did not turn out to be territorial with me like my last Schnauzer did. He loves everyone equally and we love him! I am so glad I ran across Kristin’s website because she is a caring compassionate lady who loves having her babies around. I am truly grateful to her for working with us and getting our Odie to us. He is amazing and we are glad to have come into contact with this wonderful lady. Kristin is absolutely wonderful and makes sure all of her babies go to good, loving homes. We sure do love our Odie Boy! Thank you again Kristin for being the wonderful caring person you are! We still send send an occasional picture to Kristin so she can follow her baby! Enjoy! And thank you so much for trusting us to take care of Odie. I got a job in December of 2016 and am still at the same place. My husband was able to come back to us in January and find a new job that he could work at near home. I am so blessed to have found you on the Internet.

Kristin is so much more than just the breeder who raised our beloved Mickey, she was and continues to be a devoted “grandma” and a friend to our entire family. We were able to witness so much of Mickey’s early development through Kristin’s frequent posts and updates and began bonding with him during weekly visits starting when he was just 6 weeks old. Though it was always clear from Kristin’s posts that he and the other pups were exceptionally well cared for at KSS, the real proof of all Kristin’s tender, loving care was when we brought him to his new home at 8 weeks: Mickey was the most peaceful, relaxed and laid back puppy that we have ever seen. He was incredibly easy to house train and grew into a sweet and adorable lover boy who licks faces and toes at every opportunity. We are all so very thankful for Kristin and the beautiful loved-up baby (our sweet Mickey) that she entrusted to us.

We got Beau (Little Richard) from Kristin in 2017. He was my 4th Schnauzer, and my husband’s 2nd. We were instantly impressed with Kristin’s home and how clean it was. The puppies were all lively and well adjusted during our first visit. We loved the way she posted online so we could keep progress of our little pup until that well anticipated day we got to take him home. As mentioned, I have had several dogs of this breed and although enjoyed each one, we found Kristin’s to be much more loving and playful, full of confidence. He was curious and very smart. He truly and very quickly became an adored family member. I believe that her breeding choices are well thought out and that the time and love she spends with each puppy shows in the character of the dogs. We are beyond pleased with our dog. We have (and will continue) recommending her to others!

I got my two little boys from Kristin in 2013. I had just lost my little girl schnauzer the previous September and wasn’t ready for another girl. I love my two boys so much!! When the boy’s mom had her last litter before retiring, she had the 1st little black schnauzer girl. I knew it was time to add my girl back to the mix. I worried if it would change things with the boys, but they loved her very much and now she is the little diva of the house. Over the past several years, Kristin and I have become good friends, and I still follow about her adorable puppies as she continues to have great families adopt them. The way she ensures each family receives many videos and pictures as they grow, in order to keep them up to date on how their pup is doing, says a lot about the wonderful breeder she is. Because of my obsession with Kristin’s puppies lol I know I will happily continue to follow her precious pups.

Kristin…just wanted to take a minute to let you know how much my daughters & I already love Oreo (aka Franz)!! He has already become a wonderful companion to my girls & to Toby–who we were fortunate enough to purchase from you several months ago. Oreo slept with the girls, he slept all night & did not potty!!! He’s great!!! We feel so fortunate to now have 2 of your wonderful snazzy schnauzers. Thank you.  Here’s a couple of pics: Oreo & Toby.

Dear Kris–

As your mom I never intended to write a testimonial about Molly. Your dad and I were just so appreciative that you would give us one of your sweet puppies to take the place of Corky who we had for 18 years. As you know, we got a little nervous that at our age (69 and 71) we might not want to take on picking up “stuff” and being up all night with a new puppy but we decided to go ahead.

Tomorrow will be one week since we got Molly–what a joy this puppy is!! She had never been on a leash and I had bought a command collar–she now walks nicely with me all over the community. You had mentioned to me bell training to teach her to let us know when she needed to go out–I expected it to take a couple of months to teach her that BUT yesterday she started ringing the bell at the door to let us know she needs to go out. At first I thought she was playing with the bells but she only goes to them to go out. She has slept through the night since the first night!! We are smitten with this puppy–she is so smart and loving. Several neighbors have brought her gifts, she is the diva of the neighborhood. Now she is just a puppy so she chewed on my area rug in the living room yesterday–so while she is not a perfect pup she is close.

Thank you for your gift to us. Molly is a wonderful addition to our household. I would be glad for anyone to call and let me tell them my experience with you not as my daughter but as a breeder of great puppies.

We adopted our pup, Duncan, from Kristin Snazzy Schnauzers (kristinsnazzyschnauzers.com) in May 2015. It was evident from that Kristin loves all of her dogs and treats them like a member of the family. Kristin went out of her way to make sure we were happy with the puppy we chose. Out of all the Schnauzer sites we have been through, she has the cutest puppies. The first day we went to go visit the puppies she let us ask her a bunch of questions and gave us privacy while we played with the puppies. The puppies are well taken care of, and the pens are kept clean. All puppies are happy, healthy, and full of life.

Kristin,  many thanks for the wonderful gift we call Riley. The minute we saw his cute little face online my son declared “he’s the one.” He is the one and we could not be happier. When I first contacted you I was hesitant because I have never purchased a dog online and out of state. From the very first email we exchanged I knew right away you were a loving breeder who cared deeply about her puppies and business.

Riley is the lap dog I have always wanted and the best furry friend my 11 year old could have ever wished for. Needless to say the entire family is crazy about this dog. We adore his sweet, playful disposition. He is a smart boy who is obedient and did fabulously in puppy school. I have so enjoyed sending you updates and hearing about your doggies as well. Thank you for the job you do. You are a first class breeder with a heart of gold. I highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for a healthy, loving, gorgeous Schnauzer. We will be forever grateful for you.

We completely fell in love with our “Gretta”, who at the time of adoption had a beautiful brown and chocolate coat with splashes of white in her paws and face. Little did we know she would turn into the amazing wheaton color mega coat!! Regardless of color and coat, she is the most loving and loyal lap dog we could ever ask for, who has been easy to train. We can’t thank Kristin’s Snazzy Schnauzers enough!!

We lost our Miniature Schnauzer, Charlie, to lymphoma in the summer of 2014. Charlie was a wonderful, loving friend, and we really missed him. But we have had a series of Miniature Schnauzers in our home for over 40 years, and we knew we needed a puppy to continue the loving, fun unparalleled experience of being a mini-Schnauzer family! We knew what kind of puppy we wanted, and we also knew we wanted a puppy raised in a loving home, offering socialization with a variety of people and other dogs. We were looking for a breeder that owned both parents, and gave the puppies lots of TLC and chances to explore, play, and develop their individual personalities.

As soon as I opened Kristin’s Snazzy Schnauzers’ Web Site, I knew that I had found our breeder! From the web page introduction to the darling detailed pictures of puppies and parents, Kristin’s site was just what we were looking for! I called, left a message, and Kristin returned my call within 24 hours. Our conversation reinforced my initial opinion that Kristin was the real deal – a breeder in it completely for the love of the puppies. Her details about each puppy, pictures and videos of the puppies, and her obvious love for each of her animals, made us certain that we wanted this to be the breeder who raised our new “baby”. To discover that Kristin is a Christian who loves the Lord, and seeks His will for her life every day, was icing on the cake!
Kristin met us halfway between her house and ours in Kansas, so that we could get our sweet Addie Rose as soon as possible. Addie is everything we expected and much more. Addie slept through the night without so much as a whimper from the first night we had her. She was completely house-trained within 2 weeks, and she has a loving, affectionate, but definitely sassy, personality that we love. So smart and so much fun – we are all definitely smitten! Our vet raves about how healthy she is, and about the meticulous records that Kristin had been keeping since Addie was born!

We couldn’t be happier with our beautiful Addie Rose, and would definitely recommend Kristin and her puppies to anyone wanting a healthy purebred puppy that comes loaded with home raised love and affection!

Kristin, we just wanted to send you a note on Haydn. He has been with our family for 8 months and today is his birthday. He is doing very well, weighing 22 lbs. He knows how to sit, lay down, roll over, give his paw and even high five. Haydn is an incredible jumper and loves to play fetch. He also loves his squeaky toys. He has a special diet of Iams hard and soft food mixed. Haydn is very good with kids, but alerts us if someone is near the house. He is by far, the best dog we have ever had. I attached a picture of him with Ava and Emma from today right before he got his birthday cookie.

Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Hi Kristin,  I just wanted to write to you and provide this testimonial. I want to say thank you. Rolf (formerly Dominik) has been great. Everyone here who meets him falls in love with him and who could resist that cute face. Rolf and I were out on a walk the other day around the neighborhood and a couple pulled over their car and got out because they wanted to meet Rolf. He is such a a good boy and has settled in very well. He is a lot of fun and playful. He has such a great personality and love to see that little tail wagging. I have him enrolled in puppy classes and he is so smart the trainer commented on it. He has finished all his shots with the vet and she commented on how healthy he was and was impressed with the amount of care he had received prior to my getting him.  That’s a great testament to the care you provided for him.

I also want to say that the whole transaction from our first conversation to his arrival was great. I have never had a puppy shipped before and was very nervous about him traveling here by plane. However, it all went better then I could have expected. You were very clear on all of the process every step of the way. You made it very easy for me. I can’t thank you enough and how much I am so glad to have Rolf with me.

I have attached a few pictures so you can see how big he has gotten. I know he was born a southern boy but he really likes the snow!  He loves to run and play in it and it certainly shows by the amount of snow on his face! Lol

Thanks again for everything and I hope you have a great holiday season! If anyone wants to contact me for a reference or questions I am more then happy to respond.

When I was growing up, I knew a few families that had miniature schnauzers. They were great family pets and I always wanted one. Back in 2002 when our son was 2 years old, we got our first schnauzer. We named him Rocco and we, and everyone that met him, loved him.

Fast forward to 2014. We still have our Rocco and adore him, but felt like we wanted a new addition. When I came across Jarvis’ photo online, I fell in love. I had to have this puppy! I contacted Kristin and she got back to me right away and gave me all the information on him. When I talked to her on the phone, I liked her right away and knew she was a caring and responsible breeder.

We were getting ready to leave on a big family vacation and wouldn’t be able to get him right away, but Kristin let us put down a deposit until we could pick him up.

In the meantime, we were keeping Jarvis a secret from the kids, and Kristin was so great about helping us do that. She would text me and ask if I could talk before sending any pictures, which she sent lots of adorable ones!

When the big day finally came, Kristin met us halfway, which was such a big help. She had all of the paperwork ready. She was very organized and had all immunization records, AKC papers, micro chip info, everything we needed. She even made sure how we wanted to do things since the kids were in the car, still not knowing why we were there or what was going on.

Jarvis has made a wonderful addition to our family. He gets along with everyone, including our older schnauzer. Everyone that meets him loves him. It’s obvious he was raised in a caring home and not a creepy puppy mill. He has been very healthy and so much fun, bringing us lots of laughs. I would go through Kristin again to get another puppy in a heartbeat, I felt very comfortable and would recommend her to anyone.

I have always been a dog lover. I got my first schnauzer 30 years ago and I love the breed for their intelligence, wonderful personalities to be with children and of course the fact they don’t shed.

Kristin is providing quality puppies from her home. These are not puppies from a puppy mill setting but a loving clean home setting. She is on top of her duties as a breeder. These puppies are taken to her local vet that assists her in proper vaccinations. All paper work I received was extremely thorough. It was so easy to take the folder on my new parti schnauzer to my vet to finalize shots and after completing AKC papers we got registration done as well.

Kristin had given my baby her first haircut and had taken professional looking pictures so it was love at first sight. She prepared a very nice gift bag to bring home with new baby. She is so thoughtful! I would encourage anyone that wants a quality pup from a breeder with strong ethics to please know you can trust Kristin. She can add that furry family member to your family too. This is my fourth schnauzer and without a doubt she’s the healthiest and smartest pup I’ve ever had the privilege to own.

We could not be happier with Charlie!! He has been the perfect combination of playmate and lap dog. Kristin has become a friend and has been an invaluable resource on all things dog related…even there to console me when I didn’t like his first haircut! If you are considering a Miniature Schnauzer, you have to check out her puppies – they are simply the best!
