Frieda Dukes

Frieda Dukes breeds miniature schnauzers in Benton, KY, serving western Kentucky near Paducah. With over a decade of experience, she is an American Kennel Club member who conducts regular health screenings, including eye exams and patella evaluations, on all dogs to ensure strong genetic lines. Her dogs live indoors as part of the family, enjoying climate-controlled quarters and plenty of daily interaction. Early socialization takes place at home and continues with supervised visits to neighborhood parks and local pet-friendly gatherings.

Raised on a small homestead bordering farmland and wooded trails, these puppies have gentle exposure to agricultural settings and outdoor environments under careful supervision. Puppies are acclimated to household routines, basic obedience, and crate training before placement to ease the transition to new homes. Clients appreciate her approachable support, practical guidance, and the detailed progress updates she provides during the transition home. Each puppy is individually temperament-tested and matched to families based on energy levels and lifestyle, with thorough documentation of feeding schedules, vaccination records, and early training tips.
