Our Team
Parker Rio (Dad)
Parker Rio was my first Mini Schnauzer, and he truly sparked my passion for breeding and sharing the wonderful traits of this amazing breed with others. He’s a stunning black and white parti Schnauzer, and from the moment we brought him home, he has been the epitome of gentleness and sweetness. His calm and loving nature has been a constant source of joy. Parker is incredibly smart — he was potty trained at just 8 weeks old, a testament to his natural intelligence and eagerness to learn. At 12 lbs, he’s the perfect bundle of love and affection, and every day with him is a gift. He’s also CKC registered, reflecting his excellent pedigree and quality. Parker loves children and enjoys playing with our cat, making him an even more delightful companion for the whole family. He’ll always be my precious baby boy, and I’m proud to share his beautiful personality with others who love the breed as much as I do.
Koa Luna (Mom)
Koa Luna is my second Mini Schnauzer, and she’s a true joy with her striking blue parti merle coat and captivating eyes. She’s a fun-loving, spirited girl with a big heart, and she’s definitely a mama’s girl through and through. Koa loves nothing more than being by my side, whether it’s cuddling up on my lap or just staying close for some quality time. When she’s not snuggled up, she’s ready to play — especially when it comes to her favorite game of fetch or hitting the road for an adventure. Koa is incredibly smart, and like Parker, she came home practically potty trained at just 8 weeks old. With her expressive face and vibrant personality, she brings so much fun and excitement to our home. She also loves playing with our cat, adding even more joy to our household. At 11lbs she’s a true bundle of love, and I’m grateful every day for her playful spirit and loving companionship.
Henna Jade (Mom-with Western Slope Labradoodles)
Henna Jade is a lovely Mini Schnauzer from a dear friend and fellow breeder (WesternSlopeLabradoodles.com) with whom we’ve had the pleasure of breeding Parker. She is a sweet, gentle girl with a heart full of love. Weighing in at 14 lbs, Henna is a beautiful liver-colored Mini Schnauzer, known for her warm and affectionate nature. She’s a social butterfly, getting along with everyone she meets, and her sweet disposition makes her a true joy to be around. Henna keeps up with her Labradoodle brother and sister, happily joining in their playful antics, and she even has a soft spot for the family cat. Energetic and fun-loving, she thrives in the company of people and is always eager to join in the action. Henna is both CKC and ACA registered, a testament to her quality and pedigree. Her loving, playful spirit makes her a wonderful companion, and we’re so proud to have her as part of our breeding program.
Cruella (Mom – Schnauzer's Amor Extended Family)
Cruella or Ella for short is a sweet Toy Schnauzer who lives with her family and our close friends, right here on Colorado’s Western Slope. We host Ella and puppies here at Schnauzer’s Amor, where she receives plenty of extra care, attention, and all the love she happily demands while caring for her pups.
Weighing just 7 lbs, Ella may be small, but her personality is full of warmth and sweetness. She is a gentle and affectionate girl who loves being close to her people and being part of the pack. Whether she’s cuddling with her humans or spending time with the other dogs, Ella simply enjoys being included in whatever is going on. She also has a cute way of making sure she’s noticed—if you happen to walk by without giving her attention, she’ll let out a little bark to remind you she’s there and ready for love.
Ella does wonderful with children and other animals of all sizes and has a naturally kind and easygoing temperament. She is CKC registered and comes from strong Miniature Schnauzer lines. Her DNA results show 95% Miniature Schnauzer, with all of her ancestors testing as full Miniature Schnauzers. A very small percentage showed 3% American Shepherd and 2% Toy Poodle, though we’re not sure where those traces came from. What we do know is that Ella is truly Mini Schnauzer through and through in both personality and appearance, and we’re proud to have her as part of our Schnauzer’s Amor family.
Twinkie(Mom – Schnauzer's AMor Extended Family)
Twinkie is a sweet Toy Schnauzer who is part of our extended Schnauzer’s Amor family and lives with dear friends here in the valley. When it is time for her puppies to arrive and grow, we host Twinkie and her litter here at Schnauzer’s Amor, where she receives plenty of love, care, and attention while her puppies are raised until they are ready to head to their forever families.
Twinkie is a sweet liver tan Mini Schnauzer with a playful personality and a love for being right in the middle of things. Weighing 8 lbs, she is always ready to play with the other dogs, tag along on little adventures, or spend time with her people.
She has a fun-loving and affectionate nature that makes her such a joy to be around. Twinkie loves to stay busy and be part of the action, but she also has a cuddly side and is always happy to settle in for snuggles after a day of fun.
Twinkie is CKC registered and is a wonderful part of our Schnauzer’s Amor extended family. With her playful spirit, adventurous heart, and sweet temperament, she is everything we love in a Mini Schnauzer.
