Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
At Silva Whisker Schnauzers, our puppies grow up in a loving, family-filled environment. As a stay-at-home mum with children, I ensure each puppy gets plenty of cuddles, kisses, and gentle handling from the very beginning. They are also exposed to everyday household noises—like TVs, vacuum cleaners, and more—so they…
Health
All our puppies will leave us having received their first vaccination, microchip, and regular worming every two weeks. They will also have had their first flea preventative. Each puppy undergoes a thorough veterinary health check before going to their new home, and any health or behavioural considerations will be…
Home environment
Our puppies are born and raised in our family home, where our dogs are cherished members of the family and live indoors with us. They enjoy a comfortable, weather-protected, and temperature-controlled environment. While our puppies are born indoors, they also have safe access to outdoor play and activities. We…

Additional Tests
Silva Whisker Schnauzers conducts 3 additional tests available for the Miniature Schnauzer.
- 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.
