Hi Bella,
Thanks for your info. I am very aware of rescues, shelter's and the like. It is a shame but you can go to a select Schnauzer breeder and purchase a Mini for what these places charge (very unfortunate for the dogs). I have a very loving home, a wonderful family and alot of love to give to my new "companion" but it is difficult to come by because most people are only concerned about the money aspect instead of placing their dog(s) into a forever loving home. I realize that they too have to get their money, afterall, if they did what they should have done and gave the dog their proper shots, neutured/spayed, etc. then they do expect their money back, understandable but not when their prices are so high that going to a breeder would be about the same (and do you know where a rescue/shelter dog has been or even a breeder for that matter, sad to say, some people just don't care about their dogs). I've been through enough and am ready for a healthy dog to spend hopefully many yrs. with. We are planning on getting a female mini schnauzer in middle March, after she weans her litter, from a close friend of ours and small schnauzer breeder. No games, no sick dogs, we know what we are getting and that helps so much. I believe that every dog deserves a chance, I am a huge animal rights person (you'd have to know me personally) but in my condition health-wise, I can not afford to take on a dog that may not be healthy or has some problems. I do appreciate your response and I certainly wish that all dogs could have a forever, loving home. I believe that they too have souls and deserve to live their lives as happy as possible.
