I can't give much advice on toy schnauzers but I wanted to jump in and give my two cents. I agree with both sides of the fence on breeding. Breeding should be done to improve the dog and it should be done by an experienced breeder. On the same token, no breeder was born experienced. It is something that you have to learn. I give you and your aunt credit for researching breeding before you jump into it. Good luck in whatever you decide.
