DAMS 2025-2026
Whiskey on the Rocks
AKC Red Wheaten, Super/Mega Coat, Brown Eyes, Black Nose, 18lbs
Whiskey was my first red. She is a stunning, stout build, red with intermediate intensity. Her original name was Asti (Spumante after the champagne) but was changed. Her coloring developed into a more Whiskey on the Rocks color as she aged. Whiskey was a spunky, boisterous, energetic tomboy who loved to get rough and tough with Cannoli and Berlin. I called them the three stooges. They are all now a bit more relaxed. The beauty of raising puppies of various ages into a pack environment is they fall into line following the older ones lead and basically raise themselves. Whiskey matured as a big girl (18lbs) and is a complete sweetheart, however she is now the dk packs Alpha. Whiskey just had her last litter of TWELVE beautful red babies. ALL shades and will be stunning. We are currently testing and will be posting babies soon.

Classic Whiskey Tonic
AKC Firey Liver, Hazel Eyes, Mega Coat, Brown Nose, 13lbs
Tonic was an awesome surprise out of the Whisky/Brees litter. She is a beautiful fiery liver with faint rust points. I didn't notice her markings at first, but my camera flash really highlighted them so Embark testing was needed to see what we had. I was ecstatic to discover she carried 7/10 red intensity so it was decided she was joining the dk pack. Tonic has been a bundle of bouncy energy since early on. She is never shy, speaks her mind, and she certainly never backs down from other pack members as they rough house and play. Tonic is stout bodied and has a gorgeous thick coat. She has a beautifully shaped head and perfect ears. Now that Tonic has matured some, she is more laid back but she has become besties with Mazikeen.
​
Tonic and Zion welcomed their first litter on July 3rd. Zion is so little, he struggled to mate naturally so after almost a week of trying, we had her artificial inseminated which resulted in (2) STUNNING baby boys. A Solid black 9/10 (Denali) and a dark red 7/10 (Bryce)- both with double blue eyes! Tonic is due in early May with the repeat breeding.

Bombay Bleu Darcy
_edited.jpg)
AKC Salt & Pepper, Mega Coat, Brown Eyes, Black Nose, 13lbs
Darcy is an outside line salt and pepper masked beauty. I used to have a program full of salt and pepper, but I got away from them over the years until I realized I had no more. Luckily I have a couple in my pack that are still capable of producing salt and pepper, but I needed some new blood and some new personality. This is when Darcy came into my life. She is quirky and timid when she first meets you, but she is ALL Schnauzer. She has a stout, square body, dark brown eyes, a luscious double thick "mega" coat, and lovely long eyelashes. Darcy loves pack life and plays hard. Her favorite game is monkey in the middle. Darcy has proven to be an amazing mother and produces beautiful babies,
​
Darcy and Alibi welcomed a gorgeous litter on April 16th. Go to the puppy page to see the availability. These babies will not last long.

By the Grace of Kate
AKC Fawn Sable, Mega Coat, Brown Eyes, Black Nose, 14lbs
Kate is my first Fawn Sable. I absolutely love the silver light coats with dark beards/masks. Kate is a stout, heavily mega coated stunner with long eyelashes and docile temperament. Kate loves to be loved. Kate hangs with my retirees because she is a princess and demands the royal treatment. My retirees are, by far, the most spoiled in my house. They have earned it. Kate can catch, or better yet~ Snatch~ food thrown in her vicinity like a master. She also loves to fight the water hose. Kate will leap in the air doing acrobatic skills in the air like an acrobat. She is not big on crazy monkey-in-the-middle outside pack games, but has been seen joining in from time to time. Kate prefers to lounge in the shade with Dolce and Fendi.
​
Kate will be bred in the late Spring/Early Summer 2025. I am very excited to see what she brings to the table. Choosing the right mate will be the challenge.

Fable of Uisce Beatha
AKC Black Mega Coat, Brown Eyes, Black Nose, 19lbs
Fable is a gorgeous, stout, black mega coated female out of Whiskey and Valor. We decided to use an outside line stud to bring in new blood and get some amazing future breeding color combinations. Fable has brought a lot to the table. Using a solid black as a base to add new color is always a good starting point and Fable carries for e/red as well as points and parti. I see a future Zion pairing with Fable to produce reds, black and red, as well as parti with roan patterns and blue eyes. Fable is an independent, carefree, lovely baby that is smart, obedient, and is an absolute dream. I have been working hard to get amazing dispositions and confirmation without sacrificing intelligence. I am excited for next years' babies.
Fable will be bred in the summer of 2025.

Salute to MacAllen
AKC Cream, Mega Coat, Brown Eyes, Black Nose, 15lbs
Salute (Tilly) is a black base cream mega coated stout female out of the Berlin and MacAllen summer 2024 "Vacation" litter. Her original name was Aruba, but it has been changed a couple times. Here mama calls her Tilly (Chantilly Lace), but her papered name is Chantilly's Salute to MacAllen. Macallen only sired this litter before he was retired so we felt he deserved to be recognized. Tilly is a big girl, like her daddy and Aunt Fable. She is very sweet, easy-going, obedient, and fun loving. When Tilly gets excited, she has one of the most interesting, bellowing rooster crows. I thought her Aunt Fable makes the most unique noises, but Tilly certainly has us laughing every time. Tilly will be bred two times and will retire to TN with her mama, Cheryl.
​
Tilly will be bred in late 2025 to early 2026. As always, I am excited to see what she brings to the table. Choosing the right mate will be the challenge.

Sweet Treat in Bonaire
AKC Black Parti Roan, Mega Coat, Brown Eyes, 9lbs
Bonaire (Bon Bon) is a toy size black roan female out of Berlin and MacAllen's vacation litter from the summer of 2024. Bon Bon is Berlin's dopplegainer, which is what I prayed for. Berlin had several look a likes in previous litters but they were all so tiny and I feared they would be too small. Bon Bon is a toy, but should mature around 9-10lbs so I feel we hit the jackpot with this little smarty pants. Bon Bon is highly intelligent and obidient. She also loves to play fetch and keeps her younger pack members on their toes trying to keep up. She is extremely agile and fast! Alibi sure has a run for his money. He used to be the one no one could catch, but he has certainly found his match. Figures....he is a Berlin baby as well.
​
Bonaire will be bred in late 2025 to early 2026. As always, I am excited to see what she brings to the table. We will pair her with Zion or an outside line roan.

Voilà in Paris
AKC Phantom Black & Silver, Super Coat, Brown Eyes, 9lbs
Voilà is a phantom black and silver mega coated toy size female out of the Darcy and Cannoli Emily in Paris fall 2025 litter. Her original name was Mindy, but since I decided she was going to hang out for a while, she deserved a unique name. It suites her. Voilà is a laid back little sweetheart. My sister says she has middle child personality. Although she is content entertaining herself, her favorite time of day is outside play time. Bonaire, Sloan, and Voilà are a 3-piece set. Denali, Alibi, and Tilly join in every now and then, but Voilà prefers to give Sloan her attention. He is younger and smaller so she does not feel the need to make herself smaller to fit in.
​
Voila will start breeding in 2026. Since she is phantom and a carrier, I plan to pair her with a beautiful roan.

Persuit of Trivia
AKC Rust, Mega Coat, Blue Eyes, Black Nose, Charting 10lbs
Trivia is an outside line amazing dark rust diva from Duke's Schnauzers in TN. I searched for the perfect outside line addition to our pack for over a year. I waited patiently and it paid off big time! Trivia has one of the biggest personalities I have seen in a Schnauzer in a long time; and that is saying something. She must have heard our Alpha, Whiskey, was retiring soon and figured she would skip to the front of the line. The funny part is, no one is challenging this little spit fire. We just adore her feisty demeanor.
​
Trivia will start breeding in 2026. We will match her up to the perfect sire when the time comes I cannot wait to see what this little lady brings to the table.

Pocket Full of Pansy
AKC Liver & Tan Parti, Mega Coat, Hazel Eyes, Brown Nose, 13lbs
Pansy is out of dk's Posey and Alibi. The minute she was born I knew she was going to be staying here to carry on her mother's line. Posey has been retired to a wonderful family in Louisiana and is the center of their world. Posey was a wonderful mother and always had healthy pregnancies, easy deliveries, and fat vivacious babies. I am hopeful Pansy will carry on Posey's legacy. Pansy is the best of both parents. She is adorable, easy going, funny, playful, stout, and fits in well with the younger pack memebers. Trivia and Pansy are thick as thieves. I am sure they will be ruling the roost together in a couple years.
​
Pansy will start breeding in 2026. We will match her up to an outside line roan stud to bring some beautiful liver roan and ticking back into the pack.
