The Happy Schnauzer Place

The Happy Schnauzer Place, miniature schnauzer breeder in Kalama, WA, is located in Cowlitz County and the Portland area. Kathleen Spreadborough has built a program around recommended health testing protocols for hips, eyes and cardiac function, and she registers every puppy with nationally recognized clubs. Her experience spans several years of careful selection for sound temperament and sturdy structure.

Puppies are raised inside the family home from day one, enjoying daily socialization with children, adults and visiting relatives, plus safe yard time in secure outdoor pens. A family-run setup on a small acreage encourages early exploration along shaded trails and under mature fir trees. Owners often remark on the gentle confidence and playful curiosity that mark each young schnauzer as they adapt to new surroundings. By focusing on social manners, consistent routines and quiet introductions to grooming, the Happy Schnauzer Place produces companions well suited for both pet homes and therapy work.
