Welcome to Kallistae Rose Schnauzers!
We are the Langham Family, and we raise exceptional quality, Miniature Schnauzers. We live in Lumberton, TX a small SE Texas town near the Louisiana border. Our first Miniature Schnauzer is Kallistae Rose, a beautiful and feisty liver and tan girl that captured our hearts immediately. Anyone that has had the honor of owning a Miniature Schnauzer knows what a special breed they are. Katherine Langham grew up in a large family with every kind of pet imaginable (other than hooved livestock). The family bred toy poodles which gave her a great appreciation for the dedication it takes to run a breeding program. A year after we purchased Kalli, we realized it would be a great family endeavor to pass on her best traits, and our adoration for the breed quickly grew from Schnauzer parents to Schnauzer breeders.
Our dogs are AKC Registered Miniature Schnauzers. We are not interested in showing our Miniature Schnauzers in conformation competitions at this time. However, because we are conscience, reputable Miniature Schnauzer breeders, we strive to adhere to the Miniature Schnauzer breed standard set forth by the American Kennel Club for size, conformation, and temperment. Thus, we have selected our dogs exclusively from healthy bloodlines. When looking for a new puppy to adopt, many people don't understand why very selective breeding is relevant to them when they "just want a pet". The reason it is important is primarily the health of your beloved pet. No Schnauzer owner wants to see their dog's health fail whether it is a champion in the show ring or a family pet. Health problems are both heart wrenching and very expensive. Secondly, you should insist on a quality Miniature Schnauzer puppy that is as closely bred to the standard as possible in both conformation and temperament, after all those are the characteristics that we all fell in love with these precious dogs. There are many Schnauzer breeders, kennels, and dog breeder sites selling puppies that don't even resemble a Schnauzer. All are cute as puppies, but what will they look like as adults? Will they look and act like the result of a very poor breeding? Will they have the look and outstanding personality that we have all fallen in love with when bred by reputable Schnauzer breeder. We strive to produce quality, healthy, companion pets.
