"Quality bred - lovingly raised" best describes the Miniature Schnauzers at Meinkismah Registered Kennels

We have a selective breeding process at Meinkismah, because our goal is simple: to produce quality, healthy puppies that will develop into great companions, excellent producers or even show caliber dogs, if that's what you're looking for.

All Meinkismah Kennel Pups:

  • have minimum FIVE year guarantees
  • are genetically tested for abnormalities - guaranteeing correct structure, no eye defects, etc.
  • have health certificates and their shots
  • are well groomed before pick up
  • are registered with the Canadian Kennel Club
  • are CERF tested
  • have M4S ID microchips

Reservation Policy:

Meinkismah can not 'hold' puppies. we do accept deposits as reservations for puppies. This offers individuals consideration for the first available, suitable companion puppy.

Meinkismah will return a deposit if a suitable puppy is not available within an agreed upon time frame, or if we find extenuating circumstances making an adoption unsuitable.

As we have no control over the whims of Mother Nature, the acceptance of a deposit by Meinkismah is NOT a guarantee that a puppy will be available. Deposits are not refundable after 48 hrs, where reservations are canceled by prospective owners.

A few items to consider
before your search begins

  • Consider cost (puppy, vet, crate, grooming, etc.)
  • Are you prepared to make a lifetime commitment?
  • Do you have the time to spend on the puppy?
  • Who will be the primary caregiver? Once the novelty wears off, will the dog be neglected?
  • What is your lifestyle? Pups have different energy levels, choose one suitable to your home.
  • Is your home and family suited to a large breed or small breed?
  • What are your expectations from a pet?
  • Do you have other pets? Another pup? Never buy two puppies at the same time.
  • Do you have a color preference?

Next, begin researching breeders and ask these questions to yourself

  • Is at least one of the parents available for inspection?
  • How many dogs are on the premises? How do they behave? Are they groomed?
  • Will the breeder provide proof of genetic testing?
  • Are the puppies sold on non-breeding contracts? Are they CKC registered at the cost of the breeder?
  • What guarantee does the breeder offer?
  • Does the breeder show any dogs in competitions?
  • Is the breeder knowledgeable regarding the breed standard, problems with the breed, etc.
  • Do you feel as though you're getting a sales pitch?
  • Would you feel comfortable calling the breeder with questions or concerns after you take the puppy home?
  • Will the breeder allow you to inspect the kennel quarters?

Ask for help

  • Ask your selected breeder for help choosing the right puppy for you.
  • The puppy should be attentive, clean, with no signs of abnormal discharge.
  • The puppy should be friendly, not cowering or overly aggressive.
  • Make sure to get the puppy inspected by your vet as soon as you pick him/her up.
