About me

Hi there! I'm Cristy, and I've been passionate about miniature schnauzers for over 15 years. I live in Champaign, IL, home of the Fighting Illini. My love for miniature schnauzers all started with my first pup, Coco, a delightful white miniature schnauzer who stole my heart. After researching family-friendly dog breeds, I decided on the miniature schnauzer because of their bright, loyal, and playful nature. They get along well with children and other pets. Fast forward to today, and I'm the proud forever owner of three adorable miniature schnauzers: Chanel, Frosty, and Raven. My profile picture is of Chanel. I am also the forever owner of a chihuahua named Chente, a welsh corgi named Chex, and a burmese cat named Biscotti. I am also a mom to three wonderful, loving boys aged 3, 8, and 21. All my puppies are well socialized. Chanel, a lovely salt-and-pepper, and Frosty, a charming white mini schnauzer, have welcomed four beautiful litters during their time together. Their journey as parents began in 2022 with Chanel's first litter, which included one adorable female puppy named Raven. We decided to keep Raven as our beloved pet, adding her to our family. In 2023, Chanel gave birth to her second litter, which was a lively bunch of five puppies—four boys and one girl. Each of these pups found loving forever homes, bringing joy to many families. Spring 2024 brought Chanel's third litter, featuring two delightful boys who were fortunate enough to go to the same loving home, ensuring they could grow up together. Chanel's fourth and final litter has recently arrived, consisting of two beautiful girls and one boy. It has been a rewarding journey filled with love and joy as we watch each of her litters thrive in their new homes.
