Songbird Standard Schnauzers: A Journey of Passion and Purpose

Songbird Standard Schnauzers unofficially began in 2021 with the acquisition of our first conformation dog, Amina, from Straw Hat Standards. This marked the start of an exciting journey guided by the expertise and mentorship of renowned breeder Leslie Shriner.

Leslie's unwavering support and guidance played a crucial role in our schnauzer adventure, encouraging us to explore the world of conformation. Under her mentorship, Amina earned her Championship title entirely owner-handled, a testament to her exceptional qualities.

Amina's versatility extended beyond the conformation ring, as she excelled in various performance sports. In 2023, she finished as one of the top 20 fastest Standard Schnauzers in the U.S. in FastCat, showcasing the breed's athleticism and working abilities.

In 2024, Amina's first litter, affectionately dubbed "Boyz II Men," was born, solidifying the official establishment of the Songbird Standard Schnauzers Kennel. This milestone marked the beginning of our journey as breeders, dedicated to preserving the breed's rich heritage and nurturing the next generations of exceptional Standard Schnauzers.
