After we lost our second Mini-Schnoodle, we searched far and wide to locate a reputable Mini-Schnoodle breeder because we love Mini-Schnoodles. Our house was just too quiet without our furry friend. What was exceedingly important to us was finding a breeder to whom temperament was an important criteria. We also wanted a breeder whose focus was on Schnoodles and not a multitude of ’designer breeds.’ We feel exceedingly fortunate to have found just what we were looking for at Pierce Schnoodles. Renee puts her heart and soul into her dogs. From our first conversation over the phone to our first visit to her kennel to meet her and some of her dogs, our impressions have been positive. Renee cares about her dogs and their new owners and seeks to find the right placement for both. She found just the right puppy for us to bring home in August 2015. I can still remember that day as we drove home feeling that we had been blessed with our furry bundle. Mazie is loved and doted on by us, our grandchildren and our neighborhood families. She has an endearing personality! Mazie loves adults, kids and dogs—just the right combination! She’s a year and a half old now and we are working with her to become a therapy dog since she is a happy, playful girl as well as very smart! We feel she can make a difference in the lives in the others, too. Thank you, Renee, for choosing us to be one of your Mini-Schnoodle families!

We adopted our boy Chipper (aka Dakota) from Renee in Forest City, FL in 2001. He was six months old at the time and the only puppy they kept from his mama Sasha's 1st litter. We had him for almost 15 years and he passed a year ago this March. Let me tell everyone who is adopting from Pierce Schnoodles...it is the best choice you will ever make with a family pet. Our boy was smart, healthy, and brought so much love and life to our home. We miss him dearly! Have fun with your new Schnoodle! Much love to Renee!

We wanted to give an update on Winnie (red collar) from Phoebe’s December 2019 litter. Winnie is the light of our lives. She’s so smart and funny. She is loved by and loves everyone in our extended family. She acts like a human baby, motioning to be picked up and laying her head on your shoulder. She gives the best hugs! She’s getting so big and is a long legged girl! Her favorite activities are spinning in circles and napping flat on her back with her belly fully exposed. Her best friend is my brother’s 50 lb. shepherd mix.. Winnie dominates her at playtime. We are so grateful to have her and can’t thank you enough for letting us bring this sweet baby home!

We're having a ball with Daisy Maybelline. She's the sweetest and her potty training is going very well. We took her to the vet yesterday. He's in his 70s and has been practicing for decades. "I've never seen such good records from a breeder," is what he said. Not only was all pertinent information readily available, but the information was understandable and actionable by the new owner. Tomorrow will be one week with our girl. We can't imagine life without her. Such a joy! God bless. THANKS!!!

Hello from NYC--we wanted to thank you again for adding our wonderful little Buddy to our lives! At seven months, Buddy is a healthy 24 pounds. He loves his walks around our neighborhood, where people regularly ooh and aah over him. He also enjoys going to the park and playing with the other dogs at the dog run. At home he is happy chasing a frisbee or a ball around the house, curling up with his giant squeaky toys, or cuddling up with us at our feet or next to us on the sofa. He loves trips out to the countryside, where he can roll around in leaves or snow banks, or dig in the sand. He is a huge part of our lives, and greets each of us with kisses each morning. He was so well-trained, that finishing up crate training, paper training and house training was pretty easy. Always sweet and eager to please, he now goes to obedience class once a week and is eager to show off what he can do.

Teddy is a wonderful, healthy, playful, loving bundle of cuteness. Attached are some pictures of his first week as a "Hoosier" in Indiana. Rocco has taken to him well. Thank you so much for providing us with another fantastic member of our family.

I am blown away by our first 36 hours with our new Giant Schnoodle, Shakespeare. Blown away! He is fantastic and so very smart. Some of our highlights:
– By 3.5 hours into our car trip home yesterday, he was looking up when his name was called and responding to it more often than not.
– The entire car trip (12:45 pm – 10:30 pm with three stops for the humans and the pup), Shakespeare sat or slept quietly in a kid’s lap or curled at my feet. He did not make a peep, but was utterly content.
– He went potty on command at all three stops!!! At our 3rd stop, we fed him and he gobbled his dinner and promptly pooped a few minutes later. There were NO accidents in the truck or at my house the first night. He had two pee accidents today, but honestly, he’s doing astronomically better than I ever dreamed a ten week old puppy could do!
– He ran around chasing the kids playfully at the stops on the drive, but wasn’t pushy. Today, he engaged the same way – playful or “snuggly”, yet mannerly.
– He met our old dog, Sophia, and they instantly hit it off. Sophia slept by his crate to comfort him. She also helps herd him to the door for potty break.
– He isn’t crazy about the crate just yet, but he cries less each time he goes in.
Thank you so much for letting us come last minute yesterday. Shakespeare will be well loved here by all of our family and friends!
PS - We could have chosen any of the three available puppies and been pleased. Your kennel and breeding operation are top notch and your Giant Schnoodles are amazing doggies!

Thank you for raising such wonderful puppies and allowing us to give one of them a forever home. We cannot say enough good about our fur baby and you as a breeder (and our vet backed us up noting that he came from a very responsible breeder as evidenced by his excellent health, your outstanding notes, and his comfortability with people).

I cannot believe this breed!! I did my homework and looked for a nearby breeder-- thank goodness I found Renee and Pierce Schnoodles! It was a small leap of faith to put down a deposit on a dog whose breed I had only read about, however when I met Renee and saw her gorgeous animals and spotless facility, I was so thankful I had done so. I asked her every question I could think of and found her to be incredibly knowledgeable. She had put a great deal of thought into studying Giant lines and has painstakingly perfected her breeding practice over many years. This breed is exactly what I was looking for. Scarlett is so healthy, even her first vet visit was met by the vet's admiration of her quality. She has instantly become part of the family and is thriving daily. I have had no questions about what she needs since Renee has always been readily available with answers. I couldn't be happier with my perfect girl!
Thank you so very much Renee!

Our Giant is incredible! He is large (as we wanted), extremely calm but yet protective of our family and handles visitors and neighbors with an open mind and playfulness.
I found Pierce Schnoodles through many hours of research on-line and contacted Renee with questions about their dogs and their behavior. After some e-mail conversations back and forth, our family felt that this breed was the right choice for us. We decided on Ozzy and picked him up when he was about 9 weeks old. Renee had already helped us along with some of the crate training and potty training and we had less than 10 accidents in total. He has been our snuggle bun since we got him and he is easily trained and a great companion. He is actually resting on my feet as I write this.
