Paula Darby

Paula Darby breeds miniature schnauzers in Bedford, VA, in the Blue Ridge Highlands near Roanoke. She has been breeding for over a decade with active participation in regional schnauzer clubs, and her adult dogs and puppies undergo veterinary health screenings for common conditions as well as genetic clearances where available. Each litter is limited in size to ensure individual care, with nutritional programs tailored to growth needs and routine vet checkups throughout development.

Her dogs live indoors with the family and enjoy supervised yard play on her country property, fostering social skills with children, visitors, and other pets. Puppies start basic leash training and crate familiarization before going home, ensuring an easier transition into their new families. Regular grooming sessions introduce gentle brushing and nail trims, helping pups grow accustomed to handling and care. Families often comment on the puppies’ balanced temperaments, intelligence, and readiness for everyday life.
