Bar S Farms

Bar S Farms miniature schnauzers Ellerbe, NC, is located in Richmond County and the Sandhills region near Fayetteville. Michael Shaw has bred miniature schnauzers for several years and maintains memberships in national and regional breed clubs. All adults undergo routine health screenings for hips, eyes, and cardiac function under board-certified specialists.

Kennel facilities include climate-controlled indoor bedrooms and secure, shaded outdoor runs for comfort year-round. Puppies are raised in a family home with daily socialization alongside children and farm animals to encourage a calm and confident temperament. Puppies receive regular grooming introductions to accustom them to the light clipping and brushing that miniature schnauzers require. Enclosures are cleaned daily and allow indoor-outdoor access so puppies experience varied environments from an early age. Several litters have gone on to earn AKC show titles and to work as companion dogs in therapeutic settings.
