i don't think it's WRONG if your aunt wants to breed mini schnauzers. WHY she breed is another thing. if she wants to breed for money or because she loves her schnauzer so much she thinks there should be more of her is a bad thing. because the odds of her having a puppy EXACTLY like her is very slim. i think it's ok to breed as long as she breeds for the better of the breed. one of the most important things is to make sure the breed she wants to breed has a BREED STANDARD. that means NO "TOY" SCHNAUZERS! they cannot be shown and to roduce i good litter you need something to go by. mini schnauzers are great. it's my mom's favorite breed.

to start breeding i would check the web for responsible breeders in your area. talk to them about the expenses and emotional trials you will have with breeding. ask if you can tag along and experience a birth and maybe he/she will share the same love for the breed as your aunt does and she will let you use a stud or know of a good one.

good luck.


hope this helps.
