Élevage Le Baron MDR
Our story is a family one. My husband's father started breeding Schnauzers in 1967. He was always passionate about the canine world and passed on this passion and love for Schnauzers to his son, Louis-Marc.
Since childhood, Louis-Marc has worked with his father to take care of the well-being of dogs and their education. In 2010, his wife Elisabeth joined him at the center as a dog handler. She also fell in love with Schnauzers. Together, they work with the goal of preserving the beauty of the Schnauzer breed.
Breeding Program
Our breeding is in a family environment. Our reproductive females are placed in families, who take care of the puppies until they are seven weeks old. We make sure the puppies are desensitized to as much as possible. The family environment gives females the opportunity to have all the attention and love they need. In addition, our puppies see more things so are more sociable when they arrive at home!
At seven weeks old we take them to our home to do some behavior testing. When selling the puppy, we like to spend time with families to better target what they are looking for and make a perfect match! The puppies leave only at 8 weeks of age.
In addition, our females have their first mating from the age of 2 years old. We always skip a heat between matings for the welfare of our females. Our breeding males and females are checked for any hereditary problems (hip, elbow and eyes) by a veterinarian.
All of the mating and birthing are done naturally in the dog's home. Our dogs are always up-to-date for the base vaccines (DHPP), Rabies, and Bordetella (kennel cough), and their health is closely monitored.
We are members of the Canadian Kennel Club and we make sure to respect the standards of the breed. This organization has recognized purebred dogs in Canada since 1900.
