Hi Katrina and welcome to the Forum
Have a browse through the Board Index as there are many topics there which will have advice and information about the schnauzer breed and finding a reputable breeder. I am assuming you are looking for a miniature schnauzer but, if not, the same guidance re finding a good breeder will apply but it may take much longer to find a pup as both standard and giant schnauzers are far fewer in number than minis.
You can receive recommendations of specific breeders by private message or email but not on the open Forum. Do fully research any recommendations you may get as you do need to be absolutely sure you have a reputable breeder and that you are confident in their breeding protocols and will fully support you with advice and information if needed, over the years after you adopt a puppy from them. There are several detailed topics on the Forum offering advice on what to look for from a reputable breeder if you check out the Board Index.
I would recommend initially checking the Assured Breeder list on the Kennel Club website for breeders in the area you are are prepared to travel to. It is always best to travel for a reputable breeder than compromise on the quality of care just to get a puppy locally. Yorkshire does have some excellent breeders but also some less reputable so do check them out yourself fully.

Do be aware that many good breeders did put their breeding plans on hold during the last year due to the COVID-19 restrictions and so there were far fewer well bred pups of all breeds available and some breeders were inundated with requests for puppies more than they were able to fully reply to and when they had no litters even planned until things improved generally. Although some may have restarted breeding, they are likely to have waiting lists from the past 12 months and therefore it could still mean quite a wait. You are best finding a breeder or several breeders who you can trust and feel confident in and trying to get on their waiting lists for the time that they do breed which will also give you the opportunity to get to know them, their dogs and their breeding over the months ahead if only via websites, social media or email. Once human contact is re-established in this country as it once was and dog events and breed club events return, you should have the opportunity to meet breeders face to face, talk to them and meet their dogs. This is by far the best way to decide if you are confident about trusting the breeder you are looking to source a puppy from
