Steadfast Standard Schnauzer’s is proud to announce the birth of our Independence Day 2020 litter. Yes, you heard that correctly. If you have been keeping up with our kennel, then you know that our 2018 litter was born on Flag Day; thus their flag related names. This years’ All American line up was born on July 4th, Independence Day. We couldn’t have planned this if we’d tried. Throughout the wee hours of the morning on July 4th, our Miss Zoey (GCH CH Postem’s Zoey FDC BCAT CGC TKI) produced a beautiful litter of 6 girls and 2 boys. The proud papa for this litter is BIS, BISS, GCH CH Blackhawk Finnegan’s Wake RATN; better known as “Finn”. (Please see our blog posting of June 9th for more info about the proud parents).
Here are a few pics of our busy night with Zoey and her new pups. Please feel free to keep up with us on our website and FB page for additional news and pics as time progresses.
Due to the upcoming litter, we are now starting to receive an increase in applications and inquiries. In the process of answering various questions about us, our kennel, our dogs, payment, etc., we realized that instead of writing a bunch of lengthy individual responses we needed to come up with a document that answers most prospective puppy parents’ questions, and provides more detail about us and our placement process. With that in mind, we created a document called ‘Puppy Placement Process’ which you can find it under the Litters tab on our website.
For all new puppy applications, we ask that prospective puppy parents to read the Puppy Application Process before completing an application.
For all those who have already applied, you will not need to re-submit your application in the new format. However, we encourage you to read the Puppy Placement Process since it will be relevant to you too.
Hanging out on the lawn blanket just like we did on my first day outside.
For my very first time posting on our website, I have the pleasure of announcing that our Zoey, (GCH CH Postem’s Zoey FDC BCAT CGC TKI) is pregnant, and her pups are due around the July 4th time frame. Zoey is currently an AKC Grand Champion that holds numerous titles in companion and performance sports. In Fast CAT events, her average speed is 25.43 MPH over a 100-yard dash! Zoey is tied as the fastest female Standard Schnauzer in the nation…. Ever!

The Sire for Zoey’s pups is BIS, BISS, GCH CH Blackhawk Finnegan’s Wake RATN. Better known as Finn. Finn finished his 2014 show career as Number 1 Standard Schnauzer, Number 4 working dog, and Number 12 All-Breed in the country.

For those of you who would like to be considered as a new puppy parent for one of Zoey’s pups, on our website, please look under the Litters dropdown and you will find an application for a puppy. Please understand that first and foremost we are looking for wonderful homes for our puppies. We take finding the right home for our puppies very seriously as you will see during the interview process. I would encourage you to be forthcoming and be thorough when filling out your application. We insist on staying connected after you get your puppy.
Under the Pictures and Videos drop down, you can see pics and videos of our 2018 litter. That litter produced two pups that have achieved AKC Champion titles and a third pup is well on his way to achieving same. One of the pups – like her mama – is an AKC Grand Champion. Representing the breed’s versatility, the pups now hold titles in Coursing, Dock Diving, and as Trick Dogs. They’re also certified Farm Dogs, Canine Good Citizens, Temperament Tested, and Therapy Dogs serving the elderly. They love to perform, so some of them also train in Agility, Nosework, and Barn Hunt. All our pups from the Flag Day litter found wonderful homes; of which that is the most important thing to us.
To find out more about us and our dogs, please feel free to join Steadfast’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/steadfaststandards/. If you’ll go there, you’ll see where we’ve been spending most of our time as opposed to our website. But I’m going to work on keeping it more active and up to date moving forward.
