To Those On Our Waiting List

We are excited to have a growing waiting list for our spring 2016 litters.  We are hoping for a litter from Jolly in February or March, and a litter from Cocoa in June or July.  If you are considering a puppy from us, please get on our list today!
If you are on our list, I may have mentioned to you that we will keep you updated through our blog.  I don’t have too much of an update right now because we are in the “waiting” stage.  Jolly recently had her yearly vet examination, and she is in excellent health.  Cocoa will go for her yearly check-up in about 2 months.
 
Below is a picture of the male we will be breeding Jolly to when she is ready to breed.

His name is Polamalu, and he is owned by our friends John & Rachel at Whistle Hill Kennels.  (He is the same male that sired Jolly's first two litters of puppies.)  He is a beautiful, friendly, & confident black and silver male.  The combination of Jolly’s strong black genes and Polamalu's recessive black and silver genes has always given us black puppies. Some of the puppies have had small white markings on their chest, paws, or muzzle.
 
And, lastly, a glimpse of what Jolly has been up to while we wait…

I love these photos because of the pure joy you can see on MJ's face.  She just loves Jolly, and you can see that Jolly calmly and patiently endures her grabbing little hands.  Jolly & Cocoa are fabulous with our small children.  So, if you're wondering if miniature schnauzers do well with children, we can tell you that our mini schnauzers love our children!
