Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
We invest a great deal of time in early training, socialisation, and confidence building, using only positive methods. Puppies are gently prepared for life in a family home and are matched thoughtfully to ensure the best fit for both puppy and owner.
Health
Our puppies will all have had their first vaccination, microchip, and are wormed every 2 weeks before coming home with you. We conduct full DNA screening on our breeding dogs, for all the relevant, testable genetic diseases in our breed. We focus on quality, not quantity. Each litter is carefully planned, with health…
Home environment
Our Miniature Schnauzers live inside our home, are raised in a nurturing environment, and are included in everyday life. They are well socialised, confidently handled, and regularly taken out to experience the world around them. This hands-on approach helps shape calm, adaptable, and well-mannered companions.
Health Tests

Additional Tests
Pawfect Mini Schnauzers conducts 5 additional tests available for the Miniature Schnauzer.
- Genetic Test
Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a heart disease causing an enlarged heart with stretched heart muscle. Affected dogs are high risk of developing life-threatening heart failure as the abnormal heart cannot beat as effectively. There is a genetic test in some breeds to show if a breeding dog is predisposed to DCM.
- 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.
- Genetic Test
Spondylocostal Dysostosis (SD, or ‘Comma Defect’), is a genetic growth disorder causing spinal and rib malformations. There is a DNA test available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
