About Us

Infinity Schnauzer Puppies Farm is a small group of ethical dog breeders based in the United States. Hi, I’m Dr Patrick. I graduated as a veterinarian in 1983, and was awarded a PhD for my research into the relationship between dogs and humans in 1993. I started as a dog breeder with my first Miniature Schnauzer the same year. With 3 small children by then and another on the way, it was the perfect hobby for a stay at home mum. Over the years I continued to research and test ways to optimize the breeding and rearing of puppies to make them better pets. By better pets, I mean, healthier and more fun to live with. Every few years I helped an aspiring breeder get started and mentored them in my methods.

Gradually I built a reputation as the best dog breeder of Miniature Schnauzers in USA. This attracted a lot more owners than I could possibly hope to provide puppies for personally (I only have a few breeding dogs). I solved the problem by offering not just my own puppies but also those of my associate breeders.

The minimum standards my associate breeders (who are all registered breeders and whose dogs are also all registered pedigrees) must adhere to are:

1. No inbreeding.
Inbreeding threatens the long-term health and longevity of the resulting pups, plus puts them at significantly greater risk of developing inherited genetic diseases. No amount of genetic screening and testing can alleviate this risk. Sadly the incestuous breeding of closely related dogs together is quite a common practice in the dog breeding world. Every week I hear tragic stories of affected dogs who live short lives marred by ill-health and disease that could have been prevented if only they were not inbred.

2. Family rearing.
Breeders also have a massive impact on the lifetime mental health of their puppies, and their success as canine companions. The eight weeks puppies traditionally stay with the breeder represents half of their early childhood! If they are not handled daily and living in close contact with a human family during this time they may find it difficult to fit harmoniously into the families who adopt them. For this reason neither myself nor my associate breeders kennel rear our puppies. We want them to be ready to become part of your family when they
leave us.
