It’s always heartwarming to see new puppy parents light up with joy when they realize they’ve been chosen as Steadfast owners! We do have a thorough selection process to ensure our dogs find wonderful homes, but some people might think that since we’ve bred top competitors in dog shows and performance sports, we only choose families who compete. In reality, our main goal is to ignite enthusiasm for the Standard Schnauzer as the ultimate companion dog, and let’s face it—most people don’t participate in dog shows or sports events.

That’s why we wholeheartedly believe that loving companion homes play a vital role in showcasing the remarkable intelligence, loyalty, and steadfast spirit of Standard Schnauzers. Whether our owners are out there competing or simply cherishing everyday moments with their dogs, we take immense pride in each and every one of them. We breed dogs capable of excelling in shows, performance sports, or in challenging working dog environments, but it’s your aspirations and desires that shape their future. Think of it as a tiered approach where you decide how much time and energy you want to invest with your dog. And know that at Steadfast, we celebrate your wonderful journey of life with Standard Schnauzers no matter which level you choose!
