Our
first and foremost goal here at Schnauzerland is to produce an even
tempered
and good-natured schnauzer as your new family member. Along with
having great temperaments, our schnauzers are very beautiful to look at
and admire, but their main goal is to add much comfort to our stressful
lives. They consider it their job to make us feel better. This comfort
comes in full measure from either the big or small.
They seem to ask
"what can we do today
to make you feel better?" All they ask for in return is to be loved!
We are very
proud to have added the beautiful and stunning Black and
Silver Giant Schnauzer to our color selection like
Schnauzerland's Black Jewel and Schnauzerland's Black
Iron, better known as Ivan and Julie!

As one of my
dear customers put it as we were discussing the passing my
my "Angel" Midge, Schnauzerland Schnauzers are like
Velcro, always sticking right to us and never letting us
out of their sight! That's the way we like it.
Always knowing our schnauzers are right beside us or
laying on the other side of the door just waiting for us
to open it. The only problem with this is when they are
laying on the other side of the door and you have to push
it open, you can't because they are blocking it! Or you
can see their nose and feet under it and this weird little
grunting noise that doesn't even sound like it is coming
out of your "dog"! As you can see in the above picture,
even as babies they want to cling to us. Both these babies
were right against my feet while I worked at my desk.
In the next few pages of this site we hope you can find
what you are looking for in a new companion. One to become a
member of your family. Please keep in mind that we do
specialize in Schnauzers only. We do not raise any
other breed. We feel our schnauzers are so important
that we want to give 110% to produce the very best friend,
companion and family member for you that we possibly
can. When you add a Schnauzerland Schnauzer to your life, we
want you to feel that you really don't know how you ever
lived without them.
Our Schnauzerland Philosophy
Let no one ever come to you without leaving better
and happier. Be the living expression of God's
kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your
eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your
words and kindness in your heart. Speak kind words
and you will hear kind echoes!
We sincerely hope that we have touched you in a
positive way before you leave our website and hope
that you are anxious to come for another visit.
God Bless you and your family.

I
thought I would share this with you. This is exactly
how I felt about Midge sleeping with me. I couldn't
put it in words, but I have said for the last 9
months, I miss her breath at night the most and this
explains it perfectly. I do believe God gave us dogs
to be our very best friends with a non-cursed "true
love"! The purest kind.
"THE BREATH OF A DOG"
BY Stanley Coren, PhD,
FRSC
"There
is one sound that dogs make which I have not
included in my discussion of Doggish vocalizations.
I didn't include it because it is an automatic
sound, which probably was not intended by either
evolution of the gods to be communication at all,
but it has come to mean something to me. It is the
sound of dogs breathing.
At night, when I lie down to sleep, my old dog Wiz
lies on the bed beside me, while Odin lies on a
cedar chip pillow on the floor close by my head.
Just across the room, my puppy, Dancer, who is not
quite fully house-trained, sleeps in his wire
kennel. In the quiet and the darkness, sounds are
amplified. I can hear the low, slow breathing of
the big black dog, the short breaths of the orange
puppy, and the occasional sniffle and snore of the
old white dog. As I listen to those soft sounds, I
think of some earlier man, lying in a cave or rude
shelter, resting on a bed of hides or straw. It was
a hostile, dangerous world. Weapons were primitive,
resources often sparse, and there were menacing
things that moved in the night. That long-gone
ancestor also had dogs who lay beside him as he
tried to sleep. His dogs breathed these same sounds
and these sounds had meaning. They were not merely
part of the language of nature - they were the
sounds of safety and comfort, a recitation of the
dog's eternal contract with humans.
"I am here with you," the dog's breath said. "We
will face this life together. There is no beast or
intruder that can steal up on you undetected because
I am here, and I will be your eyes and ears. No
harm will come to you because I am at your side to
warn you, and to defend you if need be.
"We will hunt together tomorrow. We will herd
together tomorrow. We will share sunshine
tomorrow. We will explore this world together. We
will play together, even though neither of us is any
longer a child.
"If luck turns bad, then when you grieve, I will
comfort you. You will never need to be alone
again. I promise this. As your dog, I will sing
this promise to you, and whisper it to you at night,
every night, with my breath."
I can hear these words in my dogs' soft sounds of
breathing, and just like my ancient ancestor, I
understand these words and I am comforted. In my
heart I know that if the language of dogs were so
limited that this was the only message they could
send, it would still be enough."

some wonderful books, check out his site! and
let me know if you buy some of his works.
I'm sure you will find many articles that make you
think
of the animals and dogs you have and have had, and
bring more joy than sadness to your heart
remembering!
I promise if you are grieving, it gets a little
easier with time!
He has put into words many things that will make you
smile
and remember the wonderful friend God gave you.

Schnauzerland Has Lost Another
Very Special Angel!
"ELIJAH CONGER"
A Schnauzerland
Angel
April 17, 2003 - June 21,
2006
My name
is Lisa Conger, and I have a story to tell you. Please
indulge me while I tell you all about my Schnauzerland
Angel and his life with me.
Elijah
Conger was born on April 17, 2003 at Schnauzerland. He was a
part of Schnauzerland's Angel project. After contacting
Barbara, and telling her my need for an Angel, she brought
Eli to me. You see, I have a mild case of cerebral palsy and
a very bad case of hip dysplasia on both sides. Some days it
is very, very hard to walk without the aid of pain
medication. In fact, some days I can't walk without
medication. My doctor says that I am not old enough for new
hips yet. I have a wonderful husband and two lovely
children, but Eli lived for me, gave me
EVERYTHING he had. On bad
pain days, he walked close beside me and let me lean into
him. He did it on his on with no formal training. He stayed
beside me when I lay on the couch because that was as far as
I got out of bed. He put his head on my lap and just very
quietly strengthened me with his Love. He had a goofy side
that did not often show itself because you see, he took his
job very seriously, and his job was me. But when he allowed
himself to be goofy, he would roll over on his belly and get
this goofy grin on his face! When the other giants would
get too close to me playing when I was outside with them,
Eli would get between me and them so they wouldn't bump me
and make me fall. The times when I did fall, he would let me
hold on to him to pick myself up. He was not a kisser, but
when I would get down he would lick my cheek; as if to say,
“Hang in there Mom, this too shall pass." One time he
became protective. There was a tense situation here with a
man, and he got in front of me, and growled a very fierce,
deep, growl. He didn't show his teeth, just a growl. The
man backed up and soon left. My husband always said he never
worried about my safety so far out in the country, as he
knew that Eli would die protecting me. My Eli just needed to
be near me, he waited outside the shower for me. If I
didn't let him into the bathroom, he would whine; but if he
was in the room, he was happy. When I groomed him, he stood
rock still. Never before in my life have I met a dog like
Eli. When the God of my understanding seemed too far away,
Eli was my God with skin on. My life has been forever
changed by having him in it. There is a hole in my soul.
What do I do now?
I thank
God for Barbara and the Angel project. I will be forever
grateful for Barbara placing Eli with me. The Angel project
is truly a gift. I can take comfort in the knowledge that I
loved him with all that I had and he loved me the same way.
Eli has
crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. I had to let him go because
he slipped into a coma from an extremely high fever caused
by a horrible infection that resulted from a severe injury.
His doctor tried to do everything possible, but the
infection kept getting worse and his fever to continue to
rise. His doctor felt from this fever induced coma that
there was much damage done and that he was basically
already gone, I needed to let him go. This was the hardest
decision of my life, letting go of my Angel Eli. Although he
was here with me for such a short time giving me his healing
love, my life will be forever changed. I thank God for
loving me enough to have blessed my life the love and
devotion of this wonderful Giant Schnauzer Elijah, my Angel.
My father
passed away in 2001 and he too was a great man. I have a
vision of my father greeting Eli at the bridge and taking care
of him for me.
Thank you
for indulging me and for your prayers. Thank you for reading
this and learning about this awesome, wonderful Angel.
