Frequently Asked Questions
Considering the amount of health issues in casually bred Miniature Schnauzers, breeding is a very important decision. Having puppies is a lot of work and effort. Some want to breed to get their 'investment' back or to make some money. This is not wise considering the number of poor quality, casually bred members of the breed there are already. Breeding should not be taken casually. Serious breeders give a lot of thought to heredity of conformation, health and temperament.

What is the difference between a show dog and a pet in the poodle breed?

Frequently Asked Questions about Toy, Tiny, and Teacup Poodl...
Show quality dogs must be as flawless as possible. The AKC maintains information about its standards online at http://www.akc.org. We breed for pets only. We also do not line breed or inbreed, which you will find a lot in a show dog's pedigree. Some say that a show dog will have a longer nose and longer legs. We like the short babydoll face and square body of the poodles we breed. Also, show dogs tend to be as close to 10 inches as possible, while some pet quality poodles are much shorter.

I don't see the right dog for me. Do you have a waiting list?

Shar Pei Savers
If you submit an adoption application, and a home visit is successful, we will hold your application until you find a dog you want. We try very hard to place the right dog in the right home. Not all dogs are good with children, or get along well with other animals or do well in a home where both people work all day long. That's why it's imperative to have a home visit done. We can then tell you what dogs we have that are best suited for your family.

How do I know if a collie is the right breed for me?

Frequently Asked Questions
The collie is a large, intelligent herding dog. He adores being in the company of his people and should be an integral part of their lives, not just a living yard ornament. He is clean indoors and learns quickly when gentle, patient training methods are used. The rough collie coat requires a fair amount of grooming and both rough and smooth varieties require periodic exercise in the form of walking, fetching or playing.
