Wayne Hurteau

Wayne Hurteau is a miniature Schnauzer breeder in Midlothian, VA, serving Chesterfield County and the Richmond area near Richmond. With more than a decade of experience and membership in the American Kennel Club, he conducts routine hip, elbow, and eye examinations along with genetic health screenings to support strong, healthy litters. Puppies are raised in a home setting, socialized daily with family interactions, gentle handling by visiting children, and early exposure to common household sounds like the vacuum and doorbell.

Early socialization outings to nearby parks, beginner obedience classes, and organized puppy playgroups help build confident, adaptable dogs with a foundation in basic commands. The grooming needs of miniature Schnauzers are addressed through introductory brushing and clipping demonstrations, which acquaint pups with handling and help ease future grooming sessions. New owners receive detailed care guides covering nutrition, training tips, and a schedule of vaccinations, along with lifetime support and invitations to occasional puppy meetups. Wayne’s passion for the breed is reflected in his ongoing relationships with families and the thoughtful preparation he provides before and after placement.
