Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Our puppies are raised inside the home around myself, husband and mother. They get used to the busy nature of home with the usual noises of the vacuum, TV, telephone, air conditioning, fireplace etc etc. We invite visitors over to our home to meet and handle them so they get well adjusted and our older dogs will…
Health
We fully DNA profile our breeding dogs and vet check prior to, and after, breeding. We vaccinate and worm all our dogs and puppies on schedule. We feed a mixed diet containing premium foods including Ivory Coat, Science Hills, HighPro Premium and Royal Canin.
Home environment
We have set up a purpose-built, air conditioned room where our puppies are whelped and cared for under watchful eye during their first few weeks. We have an extended bedroom come lounge area which they can access to explore and be around us. We have a large garden area containing playpens with tunnels, balls and…
Included with our puppies
We include food, treats, basic pet grooming supplies, their scented rug and toys plus parent health records and a puppy training guide. We also offer ongoing support and encourage new owners to stay in touch! We can offer delivery to Adelaide and have some excellent recommendations on overland interstate transport…

Additional Tests
Lou's Schnauzers conducts 3 additional tests available for the Schnauzer (Miniature).
- Genetic Test
This is a genetic disease that affects a variety of breeds. It causes a blood clotting problem resulting in excessive bleeding. There is a DNA test available to ensure a breeding dog will not pass this condition on their puppies.
- Genetic Test
Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (MDS) is a condition where a male animal, with normal male genitalia, also possesses a uterus and fallopian tubes. This is caused by an error in development of the reproductive tract in early embryonic development. The condition is often discovered by accident during abdominal surgery. There is a DNA test available to identify if a dog is carrying this condition.
- Genetic Test
Myotonia Hereditaria/Congenita is a genetic disease that causes muscle problems resulting in a stiff gait and difficulty swallowing. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog might be carrying this condition.

About the Breeder
A little about us
I’m Lou, a former nurse, a mum and a carer.
Why we got involved in breeding
I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. Since being introduced to the Schnauzer breed, I’ve always adored their nature, amazing temperament, regal look and true companionship. I love being at home with my dogs, in my garden and a mother by nature, so nurturing and giving dogs the best possible start in life is…
Our special touch
I breed for quality and with our stock we can produce most colours. Our Schnauzers are non shedding, non-allergenic and can be particularly rewarding as both companion and therapy dogs to families and the elderly alike.
