Miniature Schnauzer For Sale
Choosing a miniature schnauzer is also choosing a companion who will be with you for many years, so it makes sense to understand how your puppy begins life. At Merindah Farm, we raise miniature schnauzer puppies with care, patience and respect for their natural development. Our goal is to give each puppy a calm, healthy start so they can move into their new family with confidence and a clear sense of security.
Our puppies are raised in our home and on our farm, surrounded by routine, guidance and gentle exposure to the world. This early environment helps shape steady, thoughtful little dogs that settle well into a range of households.

Why Choose Miniature Schnauzer Puppies?
Temperament And Personality
Miniature schnauzers are intelligent, observant and full of heart. Their background as small farm dogs means they notice everything around them and they often feel the need to alert you to those changes. This instinct can turn into reactive barking if left unguided, but with good communication and structure they learn to listen calmly to their humans and move through the world with far more ease.
They form strong bonds with their families and enjoy being part of daily life. They like routine, they enjoy learning and they flourish when their people understand how they think. These dogs do not thrive when left to make the rules. They thrive when they are supported, guided and included.
A well trained miniature schnauzer is a rewarding companion, capable of enjoying coffee shop outings, quiet evenings at home and all the simple moments in between.
Health And Longevity
Good health begins long before a puppy is born. Our breeding dogs complete DNA testing through Orivet and Embark, and we monitor generational relatedness through detailed family trees. This helps us make informed decisions that protect the long term health of the breed and each individual puppy.
Our dogs are raised on a raw, species appropriate diet with carefully managed fat levels, which is particularly important for miniature schnauzers. Puppies begin life on food made from scratch, including raw goat milk from our dairy goats, which supports gentle digestion during their early development.
With these foundations, miniature schnauzers often live long, active lives and remain wonderful companions well into their senior years.

Our Breeding Standards And Care
Our breeding program is shaped by responsibility and transparency. Puppies spend their first days in our bedroom where we can observe them closely, and as they grow they experience new environments, new sounds and carefully supervised interactions with our adult dogs. This gradual exposure builds resilience at a pace that suits their age and temperament.
From a young age, puppies begin learning simple but important skills. They learn to wait for their meals, to follow gentle guidance, to settle in a crate and to respond to basic lead work. These early experiences play a significant role in helping them transition smoothly into their new homes.
When families purchase a puppy from us, they also receive a place in our Learning To Listen training program. This is our way of supporting both puppy and humans as they begin forming a lifelong partnership. The first two day workshop and the refresher weekend are included within the first five months after taking your puppy home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Miniature Schnauzer Puppies
-
Before bringing a puppy home, it is helpful to consider whether your household can provide stability for the next fifteen years. If you rent, you may need approval. If you work full-time, you may need to plan time off to help your puppy settle. If you have young children, it is important that they can learn how to behave gently and respectfully around a small animal.
Preparing a quiet sleeping area, planning toileting routines and deciding on simple household rules will help your puppy settle quickly. We discuss these steps with families before pick up so that everyone feels confident and prepared.
-
Training is essential for this breed. Miniature schnauzers are clever enough to take advantage of inconsistency and will quickly create their own rules if humans do not provide structure. Every interaction teaches something, and once a habit forms it can be difficult to change.
Our training approach focuses on clear communication, consistent boundaries and teaching puppies how to listen, rather than letting their impulses take over. With this guidance, they grow into calm, reliable adult dogs that enjoy being out in the world with their families.
-
Yes, miniature schnauzers can be wonderful family companions when their instincts are understood and managed with care. They are affectionate, sturdy and deeply connected to their people. They suit families who enjoy including their dog in everyday activities and who are willing to maintain simple routines and clear expectations.
Many of our puppies join homes with children, travel through busy environments and take part in active family life with confidence and good manners.
