Hear from our happy families!

Wow, what a ride it’s been! After 37 years of working with miniature schnauzers, we’ve met so many amazing families. Seriously, your stories and sweet words keep us going every day. It’s all about the love and joy our ckc Ellitaire miniature schnauzer puppies bring into homes all over Ontario and beyond. We’re all about breeding healthy, temperament-tested,  and hearing your positive feedback just makes our hearts smile. Thanks for being part of our journey!

Hi Joe ,  hope you are well.   Reaching out.  It is Ricky's 11th birthday 🎂 today.  Still a frisky, happy, healthy sweet boy.

Stan’s First hair cut! His little ear goes up when his teething is bad ❤️ everybody comments on his calm demeanour as at such a young age! He’s very loved! 

Otto continues to do well - and is such a happy puppy

 

We are targeting a new schnauzer arriving in end of June or early july of 2023. We are hoping for a black or similar colours to Otto (black and silver) and similar parents.We are now thinking male vs female. Or what would you recommend for Otto since he is a male and was really easy to raise and train. We think a male would be best

 

 

His Instagram account is #ottothegrumpydog (he’s not grumpy but his eyebrows always makes him look grumpy )

Hi Joe

 

Thank you for our sweet Bob. He’s settled in wonderfully. Slept through both nights. Pooping outside. Singing to us snuggling and so playful

 

We wish you a wonderful summer and all the best

We thought you would enjoy seeing Daisy after her first hair cut. We totally love her so much. She travels very well and completely fits into our family.

Have a great day

Best regards

Wendy and Brent

It’s Ollie’s 3rd full day at home and he’s doing brilliantly. Loves his snuffle mat, has learned he can catch his tail (not sure he realizes it’s attached to him yet!), and settles down for naps after play sessions nicely. Wondering if you taught him to fetch? He’s bringing his ball and tug toy back without being asked, it’s either a miracle or you did the groundwork! 😊

"Our ckc Ellitaire  Miniature Schnauzer is the most well-adjusted and healthy puppy we could have ever wished for. From day one, he's been a joy, full of personality and incredibly intelligent. Ellitaire Miniature Schnauzers truly delivered on their promise of quality."

"Choosing an Ckc Ellitaire  Miniature Schnauzer was the best decision. Our vet was so impressed with her health, and her sweet temperament makes her a perfect fit for our family. We can't thank Ellitaire Miniature Schnauzers enough for our wonderful companion!"

Jessica P., Ottawa

"The process of adopting from Ckc Ellitaire Miniature Schnauzers was seamless and supportive. We appreciated their transparency about health and temperament testing. Our little girl is thriving, and her calm, loving nature is a testament to their exceptional breeding program."

Mortimer got his first haircut today! They told us he was one of the best behaved dogs they've had, given his first cut and so young! And we are totally not surprised by this, he has been so amazing since they day he came home. He's been potty trained for a while now and so incredibly intelligent, training basic commands in just a few sessions. Our girls (2 and 4) are totally obsessed with him, and he's good with them. A thank you for such a good experience in the adoption and hope to keep in touch! Jenn and Kyle  Nov 27 2025

 

Good day Joe 

Our Miky is perfect, a wonderful smart family member, we love him very much! He is getting used to his new place, every day he shows more confident and loves Deana which she sings to him every day!

I hope you managed to get back safely! Weather here was bad a few nights ago but not anymore.
 
It was really nice meeting the both of you too, and my heart is so full with Beau. I had done a ton of research and was expecting to not sleep at all this week but Beau has been an absolute angel.
 
I had transitioned him from the potty pads to a grass patch I bought and he picked it up right away. He cries for a little bit in the pen but settles really quickly. No issues with him being in his crate which is making crate training a dream. With all the covid puppies I want to make sure if we transition back to in person work and school he will be OK without separation anxiety and I have to say he is so very smart and well behaved. Yesterday he walked right in the crate by himself and took a very long nap.
 
He slept almost through the entire night, I had to wake him up for a potty break and he whined a bit when put back in the crate, but settled so quickly.
 
I have never met a puppy so smart and well behaved at such a young age too. I can tell that a lot of effort has gone into his temperament and into his socialization. Thank you two so much for raising such a wonderful puppy. I just know he's going to be the best dog and the best friend.
 
Everyone cannot stop complimenting how handsome and adorable he is.
