Schnauzer Paradise

"**DO NOT BUY** We got our Lady in December of 2020, and this past year has been rough. Lady was diagnosed with a Liver Shunt March 2023 and the MedVet professionals tied it back to over breeding/neglect of Lady’s dog parents. The type of shunt Lady had was completely hereditary and more than likely one of Lady’s parents had one. Lady’s shunt has been present her whole life however, the worst symptoms didn’t show until she was 2. You think you are getting a great deal on a schnauzer puppy until medical issues come into play. We are over 10k in surgery and treatments. I contacted Linda and she had zero clue what a Liver Shunt was and acted like all of her dogs are extremely healthy and they have never had any issues. She tried to act like she cared and told us to keep in touch but from the sounds of other reviews/comments this seems like a normal response. Linda is completely in it for the money and not in it for the dogs."

"Update: my dog was diagnosed with a liver shunt. Just be aware that she may be breeding dogs with this condition. I purchased my puppy early this year. Lia is the most lovable and sweet dog! She is my best friend!! She is always following me everywhere I go! Although I do wish her conditions would have been better. I’m glad I found my furever friend but I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING again from here."

"DO NOT purchase a puppy from this breeder!!!!! My husband and I have regretted this decision to buy from Schnauzer Paradise from the day our sweet puppy went to the vet with us on our first (of many) trips. Linda fails to tell you that she does not and “has not taken any puppy in her entire experience” to the vet prior to purchase. Our puppy’s heart murmur is easily felt & we were told it would have been easily identified by any vet, just like the one we took her to. (*Side note: Linda only gives them their first round of shots, which our vet said was way too early to do so when she did.) It is because of Linda’s faulty decisions that I received a puppy with a heart condition “PDA” that our cardiologist deemed as “inherited” (I have documentation of this, should a question arise). Yet, somehow, Linda claims that none of her dogs have ever had this problem that she knows about. After finding out Dixie had a stage 5 (there are only 6 stages) heart murmur at OUR first vet visit, Linda did refund payment for the puppy and seemingly “wanted” us to keep her in the loop on Dixie’s diagnosis along the way. (Side note: Linda also offered for us to bring the puppy back to her, but, just like with a child, you can’t just give them back when there is a problem. And, since money is obviously a prize for Linda, who knows what she would have even done with Dixie). However, the small refund for payment she did give us back was only used to get us through the door for a cardiologist visit to find out her diagnosis. Upon finding out that my sweet puppy’s condition is fixable for an estimate of $7500 for surgery, my husband and I called Linda back. Rather than apologize for all we are going through (which would have easily been caught at the vet with Linda prior to our purchase, if she would have done so), Linda’s words were “no, absolutely not” when we asked if she could help out with any monetary amount moving forward for treatment. Linda has since removed her prior comments about this on Facebook on others’ posts, so I decided to make a new one. Linda has no heart for puppies and, unfortunately, she gave us a sweet girl with a heart condition as well."

"We got our Ozzy Boy from Linda in October 2021 and he came to us groomed and all his papers!! He is a sweet boy and all his vet checks they comment on how healthy he is never had any medical issues I would highly recommend schnauzer paradise to anyone wanting a healthy beautiful pup!!"

"I got my sweet Black and Silver girl Echo at 6 weeks old back in October 2016. As I am from NC this was a 6 hour drive 1 way so 12 hours total to get her. I did my research of Schnauzer Paradise and Mrs. Peck for 2 years BEFORE making my purchase. When I picked up my Echo she was clean and had already had her first grooming. She came with full registration papers and a stuffed animal with her litter mate's scent on it who got picked up right as we were leaving. Echo was in the home when I got her. My Vet gave echo a clean bill of health and almost 5 months later she is still healthy and happy. I will say this, there were several dogs there. They did not seem to be in deplorable conditions however. I cannot attest to the truth of any of the bad reviews. I can only attest to what I saw. Everyone needs to do their research. She does allow you to come and see the puppies prior to purchase. That wasn't an option for me due to the distance but she did send me pictures."
