Hemlock Schnauzers

Hemlock Schnauzers is a miniature schnauzer breeder in Charlemont, MA, serving Franklin County and the Mohawk Trail near Greenfield. Kathy Bellerose has been breeding miniature schnauzers for over a decade, holds membership in the American Kennel Club, and follows breed health testing protocols. Her breeding program aims to preserve classic features and sound temperament, selecting foundation stock from proven working lines.

Puppies are raised inside the family home with daily socialization, routine vet care, and access to secure outdoor play areas. The kennel prioritizes sturdy build, expressive eyebrows, and a friendly disposition to suit active families. Adult dogs participate in local obedience classes and occasional pet therapy visits.

Breeding adults undergo annual eye, cardiac, and genetic screening by certified specialists to ensure robust health, and puppies come with ongoing owner support for grooming and training. Many families note the confident, calm nature of their schnauzers as they settle into home life.
