About Us

Our Place

Our family lives in a small rural area in Northeast Alabama. We live on a 40 acre "farm" -- right now all we are raising are Schnauzers! My 3 children and I began this schnauzer journey quit by accident... We had adopted a new schnauzer -Sophie, then the kids were jealous and wanted one of their "own". So, as fate would have it we ran into a family with Maggie and Mazie - which we couldn't resist! Then my oldest son was looking on the net one day and came across Seminole- (Nole) and he wouldn't leave me alone till I gave in and adopted him from Texas! So, this is how our journey began... :) It has been an exciting and rewarding adventure ever since!
We spend a lot of time with our babies. They are raised in our home--and never seem to move out! We do not let our babies run outside because we do have a lot of cattle surrounding our home and we are afraid they might get hurt. We live in a fairly big 2-story house that they have free rein of--who needs to run outside? All of our babies are puppy pad trained for use in the home.

I have posted a few of the testomonies from families that have adopted from Bama's Best Kennel on the "Past Puppy" page. I try to keep up with many of my babies after they leave my home. People send me pictures and up to date info on their new babies.

Our Family

All our dogs and puppies are raised in our home
and treated like a family member! Are you looking for the perfect pet to make your family complete? I adopted my first schnauzer 14 years ago, and my families life has never been the same. Schnauzers are non-shedding, hypo-allergenic pets. They are wonderful house pets as well as hearty outdoor pets. Because schnauzers come in such a wide range of sizes they are a great choice when planning to adopt.

Add Love

Our dogs and puppies are cared for with the attention they deserve....making for happier, healther parents and well adjusted and socialized puppies. Our pets are raised in our home, as well as their babies! We raise these loving pets so that other people can experince the joy that comes from owning a schnauzer. Our pets carry either the American Kennel Club (AKC) registration or the Continental Kennel Club (CKC) registration and in some cases they are double registered.

Thanks for viewing our site. This site changes often so stop back by for updates.

PLEASE EMAIL OR TEXT FOR PUPPY INFO

At this time it is easier for me to get emails and text about puppies. I am working so many hours now that it is hard for me to answer my phone. I can answer text and emails much easier. I have a hard time checking all the voice mails.

Registration Information

**NEW INFO- Please read my contract. There have been some changes made. Beginning 2015--
I will no longer be offering full registration/breeding rights.
I have worked diligently to uphold the quality of MY schnauzers at Bama's Best. I have not always bred mine, if they did not turn out to be as I expected them to be. Many people have told me they would not breed and then did. Then if they did not have quality babies my name is linked with that puppy.
** Because CKC does not allow me to mark this option on the actual registration paper-- I will be giving out photocopies of the registration papers and then as soon as I get a copy/proof of your baby being spayed I will mail you the registration papers. I've been checking and this is the easiest and most common way of handling this.
We can discuss further if more explanation is needed. M

** Beginning July 2015, we will only offer limited registration- pet only! This is because we want to continue to protect the qaulity/lineage that we have worked so hard to maintain. Puppies can be registered but if they have puppies they can not be registered with the limited registration. We feel like the majority of the families that come to us looking for that special furry family member will understand and it won't matter to them. We want to continue to thank all of our previous families for supporting us and continuing to recommend us to your family and friends.

And This....

**Please note- I am not a professional photographer or groomer! These are pictures that I have randomly snapped with my children, regardless if they needed haircuts or not-- the dogs and my children!

Our site is still under construction-- bear with us as we continue to update information and add to our site. Thanks!*

I am a teacher so if you do not get an answer when you call leave me a message because I am not always available to answer during the day.

*If you've never seen schnauzer puppies- they change drastically from the newborn stage to 6 weeks old. When they get their schnauzer haircuts it changes their coloring quiet a bit too. I apologize in advance for my photography skills. They are like little wigglers-fast wigglers! :)

Schnauzer Size Scale

SIZE SCALE-- There are many different size scales out there.
           Here is the one that I have found to be the most consistant-
           Teacup size- under 8 lbs.
           Toy size- 8-12 or 13 lbs.
           Miniature size- 13 lbs. and up.

We currently have 2 miniatures, 4 large toy size, 3 toy size and 2 teacup schnauzers that belong to our family.
           *Teacups- generally 8lbs or less.

*Toys- generally 12lbs. or less.
           *Large toys- 14lbs. or less
           *Miniatures range from 15-30 (our miniatures are 18lbs and 17lbs.) Puppy Weight Guideline

Puppy Weight Predictors:
There is no way to predict the weight 100%. But this is a "good predictor" that I found.
At 6 weeks of age:
From 2-3 lbs. --Toy Range -- (Under 10 lbs.)
From 3-31/2 -- Miniature --(Between 10-12 lbs.)
From 3 1/2 lbs. -- Larger Miniature --(Between 12-18 lbs.)

About Schnauzers

Toy & Miniature Schnauzers
What constitutes a Miniature vs. a Toy Schnauzer?

Toy size schauzers are generally not over 10 lbs. Toy size is not a recogized "breed" by AKC or CKC. They are Miniature, Standard or Giant Schnauzers. A toy schnauzer is registered as a Miniature, but is called a toy based on weight under 10 lbs.
Miniature schnauzers are generally 10-20 lbs.

Benefits:
Benefits of adopting a Schnauzer: Schnauzers are non-shedding pets, their wiry hair make it easy to groom and you have less tangles. Schnauzers are extremely friendly, loving and even tempered pets. My experience has been that they are great with children or people that they are not familiar with.

Disadvantage:
The only disadvantage I have found is that once you adopt a Schnauzer, you're hooked. One is never enough!
