I've enjoyed developing my own special Schondara Miniature Schnauzers and I'd love to help you select the perfect pup to join your family


Greetings – thank you for reading my story. My name is Kathryn Snook, and with over 35 years of selective miniature schnauzer breeding I have developed the unique lines of Schondara Schnauzers.

Back in the 1980’s when I purchased my first pedigree schnauzer dog the breed was quite rare, not the same situation today. Which is why it is important to choose a breeder with a proven reputation. After acquiring my first breeding girl I selectively bred to the NZ standard and have gone on to raise and show over 20 NZ breed champions myself, I have since become involved in the world of competitive dog sports as miniature schnauzers are an intelligent and easy to train breed.
My pedigree schnauzer dogs have competed in agility, obedience, Rally-O, scenting competitions, winning numerous titles and awards. I am especially proud of my two champion agility girls who went on to achieve the ultimate title of Grand Agility champion and recently they both attained the highest Canine Good Citizen Gold award which assesses a dog's demeanour as a family member.

Over the years, I have grown to love Miniature Schnauzers for their spunky, inquisitive nature, and their loyalty and affection to their owners. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and helping you find the perfect pup to join your family.

Why choose Schondara Schnauzers as your Miniature Schnauzer breeder?


With many years of experience in breeding, showing, and competing with Miniature Schnauzers, I have gained significant knowledge and a special understanding of this beautiful breed. 
 
My breeding programme aims to breed healthy, well-adjusted pups that are loving family members and eager to join in all your adventures. All our parents undergo breed specific health checks and genetic DNA profile testing for hereditary conditions. Each pup is vet checked and has received their initial vaccinations and worming treatments before leaving.

Schondara Schnauzers is situated on a semi-rural, tree-lined, park-like section in Christchurch close to the beach and forest. Mum and pups are part of family life within the home setting until the pups require more space to play and explore. At this point, they are moved to a cosy house-like compound to assist them with the transition to family life and they soon learn the difference between indoor and outdoor settings.
My philosophy is that puppies do best when they have been exposed to a vast range of stimuli at an early age to help them build confidence and adaptability. Our young pups also have regular opportunities to play and learn from the older dogs. Puppies are partially toilet trained and have some crate training to assist with sleep and to provide them with a familiar secure place in their new home.
 
Much of my time is spent with the puppies getting to know their personalities. This, combined with the information you provide about your family life, helps me to match each owner with the best puppy for them.
