Galahad Standard Schnauzers

Galahad Standard Schnauzers is a breeder of standard schnauzers in Troy, OH, in the Miami Valley near Dayton. Diane Fortik has been committed to responsible breeding for more than a decade, following American Kennel Club guidelines and conducting comprehensive health screenings for hips, eyes and heart function. Litters are whelped in a quiet, climate-controlled area and later moved to a home environment where puppies interact with family members and household routines. Early training includes exposure to gentle handling, basic commands and safe outdoor exploration.

Each dog from Galahad regularly participates in obedience classes and some have earned rally and tracking titles at local and regional trials. The kennel emphasizes balanced temperaments, combining the breed’s spirited nature with calm focus suited for family life. New owners report that these dogs adapt easily to both active outdoor activities and more relaxed indoor settings, showing resilience and affection.
