Hello,   I just thought i would write you quick and let you know that the male schnauzer we got from you on 9-16-07 has been great!! We have been having so much fun with him and he's been learning very quickly.  He's almost all the way outdoor potty trained already and has been walking well on a leash etc.  He has just been great!  I must say he has been much easier than i thought so far, there have been very minimal toileting accidents in the home.  I could go on and on about how much we love him.  He also did see the vet on the following Tuesday after we got him from you and he recieved a clean bill of health and stool sample was normal. He was able to get shots as well. Thanks for giving us such a healthy happy puppy.  The boys have named him L.T after one of their favorite football players.

This is Lance. He lives with Adrian in Des Moines, IA.

I thought I'd send an updated photo of our precious lance. He is getting so so fast! He is a wonderful addition to our family! Thanks again! If you post them on your site let me know. I'd like to go see them.  I can't get over how cute of a face Lance has. He has to be the cutest puppy in the world.
Thanks, Adrian

Mazie is a Miniature Schnauzer. She lives with Gina in MN.

Gina's mother Mary Jane wrote: 

Attached is a picture of "Mazie" born 4-17-07, the little runt Gina bought this summer. (We met you in LaCresent.) She now weighs 11-12 lbs, perfect size. She is such a nice dog. She has a lot of Schnauzer traits, likes to dig and bark a fair amount. Loves to play ball. But boy, can she be stubborn. If she doesn't want to cross the street, she sits and will not move an inch. My daughter works long hours so her home is 99.9% with me. Thought you might enjoy seeing what your hard word produced!!!  Merry Christmas.  Mary Jane 

This is Mady. She is a Miniature Schnauzer. She now lives with Jeremy and Jen in Solon, IA.

Jeremy wrote:

Jen, my fiance, wrote the following and provided the pictures. I figured she would be able to write about Mady a lot better than I would since Mady is definately a Momma's girl!! So thanks again for Mady, we absolutely love her!

Jen wrote: 

Mady is doing great! She is definitely a spoiled little puppy and makes us smile everyday J She is very obedient, wonderful with kids and unfamiliar faces, very friendly and playful! She was potty trained within 4 months!  We couldn’t have asked for a better dog!

Here are some pictures of her (her first birthday and some miscellaneous pictures from the last year). Mady is about 14 pounds now, she loves to go on runs or walks, enjoys chasing ice cubes around the floor and is constantly playing with her basket full of toys! She can sit, stay, dance, rollover, shake, speak and lie down. She learned how to rollover during one of my lunch hours!  Her health has been great overall. She had a period from about 4-8 months where she had some dry skin patches and lost some of her hair at the bottoms of her ears and one small spot on her head, but it’s starting to grow back now and her hair is long enough to cover it up. We get comments all the time about how cute and soft she is. We love her very much and couldn’t imagine our family without her! J

Thank you!

Jeremy and Jen

This is Ruby. She is a Miniature Schnauzer and lives with Gail and John in MN.

Gail wrote:

Jeanne, Just a short email to let you know all is well. We named her Ruby and at the vet  on Friday, she weighed in at 3 lbs. 6 oz. Everything checked out fine and will go back in 3 weeks for another booster and rabies shot. We have both fallen in love with her! After putting her outside between 10 and 11PM at night, she sleeps until 5 or 6AM. We have been kenneling her at night and leave her to run the kitchen during the day - and that seems to be working out for us. It is comical to watch her slide across the kitchen floor  flipping and flopping as she is chasing her toys.... She loves exploring outside with her nose to the ground or chasing leaves as they are blown past her by the wind.

Just  quick email to let you know that Ruby has become a permanent part of our life, thanks. She has adjusted and fit in perfectly. Now that the weather has turned warmer we go for a daily 1 mile walk where she enjoys the scents and I enjoy the scenery. John has fallen in love with her and takes her wherever he goes.... She now understands that if she waits by the door, she will be let out to do her business or she may have to wait. She has the run of the house when we are home but we still block her in the kitchen when both John and I are working. I am taking her in for blood work today for her upcoming spade appointment next Monday. Here are a few pictures, it's surprising how much she has changed..... I have had her into the groomer for 2 haircuts and will bring her once more before I start clipping her myself.  Thanks. Gail, John and Ruby

UPDATE:

Jeanne, Meant to give you an update sooner but with subbing, bathroom remodeling and the Olympics there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day. We are all doing fine as Ruby continues to be a big part of our life. She loves walking the road with either John or I any time of day. Thanks for her Pet Registry Application and pedigree record. Hopefully sometime this summer we can drop by for a visit. Thanks again.  Gail

UPDATE:

Jeanne, Just a quick email to let you know all is fine with us. Ruby has been a great traveler this summer with 4,000 miles in the truck and another 1,000 miles on the back of the cycle. We spent 6 weeks in Seattle, WA seeing the sights and visiting our boys who live there. She continues to be a great addition to our life and gives us a reason for a couple daily walks each day.

This is Marco. He is a Miniature Schnauzer and lives with Matt and his family in La Crescent, MN.

Matt wrote:

We have been incredibly impressed with our new puppy “Marco”. He’s been a very good dog! Our other dog has been enjoying his company. They get along very well. Thank you very much!! 

This is Shadow. She lives with Rick and his family in MD.

Rick wrote: 

Just thought you might like to see what a beautiful little lady Shadow has become.  She has a coat of velvet and she is so, so, spoiled.  We can't express how wonderful Shadow is and what a wonderful part of our life she has become.  Shadow never stops amazing us, she's a pure joy!  Shadow was a little darker, but it seems right after her trip to the beauty parlor is when she is at her darkest.  What a pure joy she is. Martila is also very happy with her Schnoodle

This is Lucy. She lives with Cindy and her family in Woodstock, IL..

Cindy wrote:

Lucy is doing well.   Our lab has actually lost a few pounds because she really keeps him going and playing.  She is pretty much housebroken, but every once in a while she leaves a little "something" in the living room.    She's is a chunk and weighed in at 16 pounds Saturday.  All in all she is very active and really a happy dog!  She is not spoiled at all.

This is Lady. She lives with Bonnie and her family in Dubuque, IA.

This is Bonnie Griesinger. I purchased your small female min. schnuazer on 1/31/08. I'm sorry it has taking so long to get a hold of you. My computer messed up the weekend after we picked up our baby.  She had her 2nd vet visit today and she is perfect.  We named her Lady Lou and she is such a sweet heart. She knows, sit, lay down and shake. Potty training is going ok we just need to come up with a way to let each other know it is time. The kids love her.  I was wondering if you received the papers yet?  Once again I am so sorry it has taken so long to be in contact with you.
Have a great day.
Bonnie
Lady had her last puppy vet visit today. She got her rabie shot and some kind of booster.  She is growing up fast. We are vary proud of her. She adds so much joy to our family.
Thank you again!
My daughter made sure that we made a big deal out of her Birthday on the 4th.
Happy Holidays!

This is Lexi. She lives with Joni and Chas in Houston, TX.

Joni wrote:

Hi Jeanne,

I am responding to your request for follow-up info on a black min schnauzer I bought from you in March 2008 through DogSales.com.  Her name is Lexi and we adore her.  (I have another one - a month younger - liver in color named Audry.)  These two schnauzers are my 5th & 6th over my lifetime.  So I'll answer your questions based on my experience.

1) Health - Lexi is in good health.  She has had 2 severe yeast infections in her ears.  We, through our vet, are doctoring the latest one and then with his instructions will set out on a mission to find the root cause.  Otherwise all is good.
2) Weight - 12.2
3) Temperament - I'd give her a B+.  (This is the first and only one that I can't give an A.)
At times, there are barking issues and she's somewhat territory protective.  But not to the point of biting or attacking.  She has on occassion gotten a little aggressive with the other dog, but nothing major.  She is extremly protective of her morning treats... to the point where she growls at us.  I don't know why... we are generous with the treats.  (That does bother us and we'd like to get it corrected.)  We are working on her few issues. We have incorporated BarkBusters training.  She does well at her command (except she needs work on her COME when outside - hahaha.)  She is extremely smart, loving, and loves to please.  And she loves attention.  She does enjoy her sister.
She has full range of a huge backyard and a dog door with partial house access every day.  She has many toys, gets many treats.  She goes to doggy daycare to play with other dogs when she gets groomed.  So let's just say - she lives a very good life.  Overall she is happy and we are very happy with her.
We will send a couple of pictures.
Thanks,
Joni & Chas

This is Taz. He lives with Theresa and her family in Baltimore, MA.

Theresa wrote:

Hi Jeanne,
 We received Taz going on 6:00pm.  He was scared so I took him out and held him alittle before I took off to go home. He is playing with the kids right now but he seems alittle confused.  He is soo adorable and he loves attention. He loves to be held.  I believe he will be just fine when he gets used to us.  We are going to keep his name to Taz. Thank you much.  Theresa
Taz is doing great other than getting him to poddy outside.  He is peeing on the pee pads but wont make a bowl movement on the pads.  I am working with him and I know he is just a puppy.  He sleeps with us in bed at night and does great.  He is eating very well, maybe too much will have to only feed him at times.  He is a very happy puppy and friendly.  He likes going for his walks and which he does almost everyday. Will keep in touch. Thank you very much.  I get alot of compliments from other people saying how adorable he is.
Taz is really doing great.  He is now potting outside.  He is now becoming a good watchdog.  We take him for walks on the field and take his leash off and let him run, and he just loves it.  He loves to play catch and go for short rides with me in my truck.  I can see the difference in his size, he is really growing.  He loves to sleep under the covers with us at night.  We are very happy with him.
Taz has been a great part of our family.  He is very loving,smart,protective of strangers and full of energy.  He can be very playful or just sit beside us on the couch.  He likes to follow us around the house to see what we are doing.  He follows us to bed and sleeps with us.  He gets along very well with other dogs, size does not matter to him, very brave.  We take him to a dog park to play ball, he loves to chase balls.  Schnauzers is a great choice of dog to bring into a home.
Theresa wrote this reference for me to Lorri who wanted to get one of my puppies:
I purchased a Schnauzer about 2 years ago from Jeanne Delaney.  He is very loving, fun, and protective of his home.  We take him to the park and gets along with all dogs. He loves to play ball.  He can be active but also can sit with us while we watch tv.  He likes to sleep with us in bed at night and goes when we go.  He is very smart, all we have to do is ask if he wants a treat and he goes crazy and runs to the kitchen.  He always waits at the door when my husband comes home and knows that time everytime.  He goes crazy when he sees his lease because he knows he is going for a walk.  I had my dog shipped and Jeanne walked me thru the whole process. You can trust Jeanne if you are having the dog shipped.

This is Oscar, a Miniature Schnauzer, with his two best friends. Oscar lives with Kristy and her family in Potosi, WI.

Here's some pic's of our puppy Oscar. The one is from Christmas when he got his first hair cut (he was pretty proud of it).  He was potty trained by 4 months!! He can now sit, shake, rollover and fetch. He is the most mellow dog we have ever had. Hardley ever barks!! Everyone that meets Oscar wants to take him home:) I honestly couldn't ask for a better puppy. My boys adore him and my Dad just can't believe how mellow he is!! We had a schauzer growing up and she was a handful at times. Oscar loves to be brushed and loves his baths. He struts around when he's all clean like he hot stuff:) He has his dr appointment today for his booster shot and to see if his other testical dropped. Right now he just has the one but we are planning on neutering him here soon. The dr thinks it might be still in the canal so they might have to surgically remove it. This summer he will be taking his first boat ride. We are hoping he likes water:) Thanks so much for the wonderfull puppy!! We will send you some summer pics if you would like:)
It's going really great with him. His testicals did not drop but the surgury went really well!! Here's one pick.  I have more I will send later. He loves the river but likes eating sand and I've been told it's not really good for small dogs so he doesn't get to stay out too long:)

This is Monty with his new best friend, Georgia. He lives with Evonne and and her family in WI.

Jeanne,  His ears are great! your Vet did a nice job. Thought I would forward the latest on our new puppy.  He is 4lbs 8weeks old and the new puppy's name is Monty as Stephan would put it he is the full Monty.  All is well and he is loved.
