Standard Schnazuer puppy wanted (male)

Post by SarahF »

Hi,
We have been trying to find a Standard Schnauzer puppy for our family for some time and no luck so far! Ideally we would like a male but have no preference on colour (they are all gorgeous!)

If anyone knows of any litters please can you contact me?

Many thanks,
Sarah

Hi Sarah and welcome to the Forum :-)

Recommendations will have to be by private message only and do vet any breeders recommended by private message very carefully to avoid disreputable breeders / dealers and fully research any litter that you are advised of privately. Do have a look at the relevant topics in the Puppy and the Breeding sections of the Forum for some Guidelines of the kinds of things to look for from a breeder and the questions to be asked of them.

As you may have already discovered during your research into the breed, there are far fewer Standard Schnauzer puppies born annually than miniature schnauzers. In 2018, only 270 standard schnauzer puppies were registered in the whole year compared to 5,535 minis so anyone looking for a standard puppy may have to wait some time and will find the best breeders very selective about new homes for their litter.

If you have your heart set on a standard schnauzer, the best advice is to get to know the breeders through meeting them at breed club events, championship shows, Discover Dogs, Crufts etc. Get to talk face to face with the breeder, see their dogs and assess how fit and healthy they are and whether of good temperament and convince them that you understand the needs of the breed as regards exercise, training, grooming and general health and you will have a much better chance of obtaining a well raised puppy from a quality breeder.

If you are not already a member of one or more of the schnauzer breed clubs, I would recommend joining one as that will also give you the opportunity to meet and find out more about breeders and their dogs:
