Happy Holidays,
We're doing fine. Little Chelsea is angel ! She follows us around , like she is our shadow. The other night, we went to bed, I called Hilde ,but she did'nt come! All of a sudden, Chelsea ran to the living room, and brought Hilde to bed. She is so smart!! We love her so much!!
She is so much like our Snoopy!! I'm going to send some pictures, if I can figure out how to do it.
Anyway, have a very Merry Christmas,& A Happy New Year!! I'll send pic's seperately
With Joy.

Hello Stacy,
We are in love. Bob and I are just crazy about Max.
He is everything and more than we hoped for.
He has changed the whole dynamic of our household.
We laugh more and it's just great to have a new puppy in the house.
We almost feel revived after watching him play, and playing with him.
Here we are, senior citizens, talking to Max in "baby talk", telling him to look at himself in the mirror
and buying more toys and "things" than we get for our grandchildren. (Well, almost.)
I could go on forever about Max.
I would recommend you and your Mini Schnauzers to everyone.
It is very clear that you love your dogs and spend time working with them before they leave you.
Max has all the traits that make this breed a joy. And a challenge. It's great fun.

Hi Stacy:
I'm so happy for you that at least your sadness can be helped with the knowledge that all have gone to good homes.
What can I say about Shaggy? He's just a great little guy. Sweet, playful, funny....no accidents in the house, doing great in his crate, eating like a champ!
We went for our first leash walk yesterday and he took to it like a duck to water! I was so proud of him - he's really smart! He has one soft squeaky toy that has become his favorite and he "takes him down" whenever he can.
The funniest thing is to see him barking at the cats. Emile just ignores him and doesn't interact with him but lays very closely to him. Remy is afraid of him! Remy is probably about 14 pounds so to see him run from Shaggy is hysterical!
I'll write a testimonial as soon as I get a chance and send some pictures along with it for the website.
Are Alex and Tiki doing okay?
Talk to you soon,
Louanne
Hi Stacy:
Just wanted to let you know that we've got the best and smartest pup in the world.
In addition to being so adorable and loving, he now goes to the door and cries when he needs to go out, plays a mean game of fetch, learned how to sit in three tries and is absolutely IN LOVE with Angelo.
I don't remember if I told you or not, but I work from home on the computer and Shaggy sits in his bed at my feet while I type - heaven!
Funny enough, his favorite toys are "Super Cow" and "Super Dog" that you gave us.
Hope you and the family had a great Thanksgiving and thank you again for our wonderful little guy,
Louanne
Hi Stacy:
Once again, I can't tell you how wonderful our little Shaggy is. He is the smartest, sweetest and most obedient dog we've ever had. He has learned sit, stay, down, come and "no". He has never tried to chew one of Angelo's toys and we can actually leave the playroom door open with toys everywhere and they will lay undisturbed by Shaggy.
We make sure we give him plenty of exercise which I think makes a great difference but he mostly just wants to be with us. He is such a wonderful little guy and I can't thank you enough for being such a great, responsible breeder.
I broke my camera thus no pictures again but he is already 10 1/2 pounds at his last vet check and growing everyday!
Thanks again and take care,
Louanne
Today he came right out of his shell. Hes becoming more comfortable and is roaming around the house with no issues. Hes very playful. He loves chasing us and "rough housing" and started playing fetch with a little ball and tug of war. Hes also started to come when we call him. Very playful personality. When hes tired he likes to lay next to us and sleep.
At night hes been good in the crate and we even had to go out for a few hours today and didnt have any issues with it. Hes also a very smart dog. Hes learning potty training very quickly. Theres 1 spot in the house we have set for him to go and he goes there and only there (so far after the first day....knock on wood). He also goes outside every time we bring him. Also he didnt soil the crate last night or this afternoon.
We both absolutly love the dog and appreciate all the work and effort you put into getting him to 8weeks.
Well keep in touch periodically letting you know how hes doing.
Thanks again!
Erik
Hi Stacy,
Just wanted to give you a quick Charlie update. Hes doing very well and is a very happy dog. Were finding him to be pretty easy to train...hes a very smart dog. He knows sit, stay, fetch, inside, he walks on a leash and were working on bell potty training. Hes really been nothing but a joy. Hes growing pretty quickly too.
Heres some pictures of him.
Thanks
Erik
Hi Stacy,
Buttons took the ride very well. At first she was a little restless but settled down in my lap and slept all the way home. She made herself right to home. Nayda, my female, likes her and Jake could care less. She loves to sit in my lap if I'm on the floor with her and loves to chase Nayda if Nayda is running to get her toy.
Right now she is barking at Jake who jumped up in the chair to get away from her. She is just adorable.
She is eating good and has gone outside to the bathroom a couple of times and is being trained on the newspaper in her pen.
I'd send you an update of a picture but my camera is not working. I've had it for 4 yrs on a recharable battery.
Thank you for a beautiful dog.
Judy
Hi Stacy,
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Everyone is in love with Buttons. I got the adorable T-shirt you sent her. It just fits. I got her a red plaid sweater and her collar is a cat collar. Every onther collar is to big for her.
I'm sending pictures of her without her hair cut and she got her first haircut tonite. She screemed awful but realized it was going to happen no matter how much she made noise. She settled down and she looks adorable. I do hope the pictures go thru ok.
Judy
Hello Stacy,
I hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas. I apologize for not writing earlier. Time goes by so quick. Hope you and your family are doing well. We are having so much fun with Max. He has become a very special member of our family. We love him so much. I included some pictures of Max and I will continue to stay in touch and send more pictures as time goes on. I wish you and your family a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
All the best.

Hi Stacy,
We took Bailey to the vet today for her first visit. The vet was saying how wonderful she looked. He commented on the fact that we had gotten such a good dog. So, I wanted to e-mail you so you knew that your good work raising Bailey was recognized by the professional.
Bailey has adjusted so well to our home, because of the way you raised her. She has a lot of confidence, and is used to the sounds of a home. She is eating well, sleeping well, and seems to be on a good schedule for the family, and for Bailey. Even though Bailey finds everything fascinating in the backyard: squirrels, deer, leaves, grass, sticks, she still focused enough that we had no accidents in the area of housebreaking.
She has just brought us so much joy.
Thanks again,
Jim, Linda and Rebekah
P.S. Please tell Alex that we have mounted the picture that he gave us in our Bailey Photo Book. We really love it - - especially the rainbow.
Dear Stacy,
We thought that we would attach a few pictures of Bailey at 12 weeks! We used your soupcan comparison idea and it is clear she has really grown! She is doing great, Bailey is very smart and extremely confident in herself, completley unaware of her small size! Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Jim,Linda & Rebekah
Hi Stacy,
I can only imagine how quiet things are at your house. We only have 1 puppy and it’s a bit hectic here at times. She’s been really good about going to the bathroom and we haven’t had one accident in the house! Hard to believe. My whole family adores her and my parents even bring her to their house if Carlos or I have a long day at work. Thankfully I only have 4 more days of school. J
Thanks again for such a wonderful puppy!! (The vet said she looks great!)
Kathleen
Hi Stacy,
I was going to e-mail you today! We are all doing so well - Jacoby is wonderful, and, as I predicted, he adores my husband, Joe, and Joe feels the same about him! He has been good about going potty for us and will go for about 5 hours during the night before he wakes us up for him to go. He is eating well and plays with all his toys. We took him with us to the Farmer's Market on Sunday, and he loved seeing the people. He is very social! He went to the vet yesterday, and he was pronounced to be in excellent health and weighs 3.2 lbs.I am wearing the schnauzer earrings today. My only complaint is that I play with him so much that I don't get anything done! Anyway, thank you again for everything!!!
Heather
Hi Stacy,
We will get pictures to send you this week. Jacoby went with us down to the shore for a July 4th party, and he was very good! He loves everybody! He has grown a lot already, and he is doing so well with the potty training! You're right - his little greeting dance in the morning melts our hearts! Thanks again for him! We love him so much!

Hello Stacy,
Here is a current pixs of Belle just took it. She is now 8 lbs. Goes monday for her first hair cut :) can't wait to see how she looks then.
She still loves her naps and she still lets us sleep all night and I have to pull her out of crate in morning to get her to go to bathroom. She always stretches like a old folk everytime she wakes up. Slow to get going. But she does have her extremely hyper bouts. All the cats are used to her now. They mainly stay out of her way though Little Man wants to be friends I think. He just doesn't know what to do when she starts to bark and pounce about. We keep expecting to find him one time curled up to her hasn't happen yet but believe it will.
I would surely give you glowing references. What a blessing you gave with all the pixs etc so we could see Belle growing up and make the time seem not as long :) We really aprreciated it.
Shawn
Hi Stacy,
Glad you like the pics of Toby. We are going to wait a few more weeks before he gets his first puppy-cut. With the cold weather coming in this week and he is due for his last shot at the end of the month. I will feel better then knowing he is protected with all his shots. He has just learned to jump onto the furniture so he thinks he is the king now. ha-ha He really has done well on the Chicken Soup food. I just picked up his 3rd bag. He gets a small treat in between his meals. The treats that I picked up for him are also all natural and they are small so they don't put too many added calories for him since he is still getting fed 3 times a day. He knows what cabinet is his and he has learned to sit for his treats. He also is answering to his name now. I love checking in on your website. I think it is looking great. The wait for Toby was worth it, we couldn't be happier we love him so much. Well I will let you go for now and we will keep you updated with pics and info on how Toby Jack is doing. Hope the gang is all doing well, and Toby sends his love. tc

I purchased a Minature Schnauzer from Stacy Vargas and her family in April of 2008. He is the 1st Minature Schnauzer I have owned but my husband and I have purchased many Golden Retrievers from breeders in the past. Jethro has been a wonderful addition to our family. He loves our Golden Retriever , cat and our kids. The Vargas family was wonderful to deal with and it is obvious by how well Jethro has fit into our family that they truly make these puppies a part of their family. I often get emails from Stacy asking how Jethro is doing and requesting updated pictures. It isn’t often that a breeder checks in to see how the puppies are doing.
Thank you,
Jill
Hi Stacy,
Lulu is doing great and has adjusted quite fine. I have said over and over again to friends how much I appreciate the time you and your family spent with the puppies. What a difference it has made in the transition for her to our family.
She is definitely the star in the neighborhood with a strong personality. Housebreaking has actually been a breeze so far, she whimpers when she needs to go out. I am taking her to the Vet tomorrow for shots and check up. I will definitely send pictures when I get a chance since she is definitely growing.
Thank you again and I will definitely pass the word about puppies in the fall.
Dianne
Schultzis first meal in his new home! Were having a great time. We love him! Thanks.
Jonathan and Becky
Hi Stacy,
I just wanted to tell you how much Becky and Jonathan (and my husband and I) have come to love Schultzi already. He was been over several times, including all day yesterday, and he is such a sweetheart. You were certainly right that he enjoys a lap to sleep on...he slept on my lap for a long time yesterday, and he would only lift his head sometimes when he heard his "Mom and Dad's" voices. We also live in a very pet friendly neighborhood, and Schultzi has met many new friends here, including two miniature schnauzers named Chips and Salsa.:) Becky and Jonathan are also going to make plans for a Schultzi/Jacoby reunion when they get back from vacation (Schultzi's first trip).
Anyway, I just thought you would want to know that Schultzi is being well cared for in a very loving home. Take care; I hope you are enjoying your summer.

Hi Stacy
Great to hear from you. Max is doing great he is adjusted very well and getting big . The kids all take part in helping . The potty training is doing good once in a while he has an accident otherwise he's doing great. In the morning he loves to bit I tell him no and give him his toys. The kids love to run around our property with Max and he gets really tired which is good exercise for him. My neighbors behind me he is a K-9 NYPD has three little house females dogs and one German Shepherd K-9 . Max meet them 2 days and they all got along great. Max got all his shots and goes back on 7/26 for follow up. My husband is on a business trip for 3 weeks he gets back next Friday, than we will send you a picture. I also found the chicken soup for Max which I was happy. I want to get Max a hair cut and everyone tells me he's to young. What is your opinion?
Give our regards to Alex . Talk to you soon
Karin
