IN THE BEGINNING...
Our Story
The journey of Lap Happy Schnauzers began over 20 years ago with Tammy's deep love for Miniature Schnauzers. Her passion for these charismatic dogs inspired her to start a breeding program dedicated to raising affectionate and healthy companions. For Tammy, schnauzers aren't just pets—they're part of the family.
After taking a break to focus on other life adventures, Tammy found a renewed sense of purpose with the support of her husband, Jonathan. Together, they are excited to reignite the breeding program, bringing back the same commitment and love that Tammy first began with years ago.
At the heart of Lap Happy Schnauzers is a dedication to nurturing puppies in a warm, loving environment. Tammy and Jonathan aim to share what they lovingly call "schnauzer joy"—a unique sense of fulfillment and happiness that only schnauzers can bring, through their endearing personality, loyalty, and the boundless love they offer. This joy is about enriching lives and creating lasting memories forged in companionship.
Tammy and Jonathan focus on honesty and building meaningful connections with each family, ensuring that their puppies become cherished lifelong companions. Whether you're welcoming your first schnauzer or adding to your family, Lap Happy Schnauzers is excited to be part of your story. Come share in the joy and discover why these delightful dogs have captured Tammy's heart for so many years.
