My Puppy (Twilight)
Kathryn Mar 3, 2024
I just had to take the time to tell you what a wonderful puppy she is. Her name is "Georgie". Georgie is the most incredible dog I have ever had and I've had some wonderful dogs.
I have a total of 3 Schnauzers. Ricque - 12 yr, Stevie -4 yrs old and of course Georgie 2 and a half. All girls.
I originally wanted another puppy because Ricque is getting up in age and I didn't want Stevie to be alone. The jokes on me because Ricque and Georgie are so close they spend all of their time together.
I just wanted to let you know something about Georgie's personality. She is the smartest and loving little angel. If any one of my dogs don't do exactly what I tell them to do she is in their face trying to make them do what they are told. She doesn't fight but she really gets them told if she feels they need it. She's very busy and loves her family. My daughter-in-law calls her my little hallway monitor. I wonder sometimes if she has sheep herding in her background. ha
I just wanted you to know what a wonderful little love bug she is. It took me from January to August to get her but she was well worth the wait. She is beautiful and weighs 5 lbs. Some day I'll send you a picture. When I try to take her picture she turns around. I will walk around to her front and she does the same thing. She acts like a native that thinks the camera will take her soul. It's really funny but I would love to get some good pictures of her.
I'm sorry this is such a long message but I just wanted to let you know what a precious little baby you sent to me. I can't thank you enough.
Sincerely,
Kathryn

Hi Karie,
Just wanted to update you on little Tux, now named Bruno.
He is just the absolute sweetest little bundle of joy. He fits into our family so perfectly. He loves dropping off and picking up the kids from school and has become quite the star. Everyone knows his name and he gladly accepts pets and admiration from everyone in the neighborhood. He loves to be in the middle of all the action, whether it’s watching the kids at sports, or cuddled in the middle of everyone for family movie nights. His temperament is just perfect. He loves meeting new dogs and people, never timid. He sees his brother Riff (now named Rip) a few times a week for playdates and they just love to wrestle and cause mischief. After each playdate he’ll come home and crash from exhaustion!
His favorite snuggle spot is right under my chin, all curled up.
He’s perfectly potty trained and crate trained, although he now sleeps in bed with us, right in the middle. We laugh and say he’s our guard dog because as soon as anyone enters the house he’s the first one to the door.
We are so thankful we go him from PVS and can’t imagine life without him.
Thank you!

Wanted to give a testimonial.
People will say a dog is well socialized but you don’t know what that means until you get a puppy that “is” well socialized. Luna was incredible from the minute we saw her. She had no separation anxiety, is playful but more than anything our little Luna loves to be cuddled. Luna is our fourth Schnauzer and already we can tell her disposition is amazing. She was raised in an exceptional environment and that speaks volumes to Paradise Valley schnauzers. They will make you adore schnauzers and they are already pretty hard not to fall in love with. Thank you Karie for this treasure. We named her Luna, which mean “bright side of the moon” and she has brightened our lives.

Hi Karie, sorry it has taken me so long to let you know that the puppy is amazing! She is soooo smart and already knows her name. Everyone has fallen in love with her, especially my Groomer. She saw Buttons when I brought my mini, Biscuit, in for a grooming, and flipped out!!! My groomer asked for your email because she wants a puppy also. My Vet said to send you her compliments on breeding such a beautiful puppy. I am constantly delighted at how fast she is learning. She has already gained a pound and now weighs 3 lbs. You truly have bred a superior little schnauzer. Hope all is well on your homestead. Little Buttons is a walking advertisement for your dogs. I am constantly singing your praises to all who are interested. Hope you get some business from some of them. Buttons is confined to the house and backyard right now, but, as soon as the Vet will let me take her out more, I will let everyone knoe about your beautiful breeding establishment. Sincerely, Helen C
Hi Karie!

I have attached a couple of pictures she is just too cute! She is fitting in with the other girls well! I am so happy to have her, it was the best part of coming home!
Thank you for much a wonderful experience and perfect pup!

Hey there, Karie,
It’s been almost a year since Rook, now Rocky came to live with us in Lake Tahoe. I’m 54 and he’s the best damn dog I’ve ever had! He’s an utter delight! He makes us laugh every stinking day. He’s so ridiculously adorable—he’s the most popular dog in our little town of Incline Village. Dozens and dozens of people know him by name. Everyone wants to hold him and he just falls limp and relaxes into their arms. He’s playful when it’s time to be playful and chill when it’s time to chill. He’s incredibly loving and loyal. We love the heck out of this little guy!
Thank you ever so much, once again!

We adore this little dog more than can be describe. TT is a sweet, spunky, adorably tempered darling little creature...beyond words! All our friends including, including the non-dog ones, love her (she is not like a dog - ha ha) - want to hold/play w/TT. Our grandson was sooooo surprised that such a little wee dog could run so fast. So I explained TT is a 100% Schnauzer even though she is a wee one that is the breed personality. TT is a little spark plug!
Thank you thank you for breeding these sweet little dogs. I know you hear the same often. But Karie, to have this passion/commitment to breed such sweet, loving pets and bring incredible happiness to the individuals who adopt them is a true gift and act of love. I will keep in touch once in a while and continue to enjoy/love/like/comment on your FB postings. So deja vue all over again watching the Calamity/Sky 4 puppy video...my eyes welled up as to how lucky I was to find you. Tazzy Tango is what I needed to complete my retirement life. A migraine is more tolerable to endure with a Tazzy Tango to play with/and sit in your lap, giving you adoring and unconditional love! Attached is a TT quick iPhone snap Jon took this week - TT does not sit still long to set up a photo but he keeps trying:):) Be assured this little Tazzy Tango girl (in my lap now) will always get the very best care and be loved unconditionally.
Hi Karie,
I wanted to give you a follow up on Copper. She is now named Fannie....and is the most amazing puppy. She has gained weight and now weighs one pound eight ounces. It is just unbelievable how tiny she is. Fannie is so funny, happy, athletic, loving, and bossy.
We had to put our Shepherd down and Fannie really loved him. Clancy is not the same with her, as I think that he is a bit jealous, but they do play and are getting to be better friends daily. Fannie gives sooooo many kisses and she can really scream when she wants out of her enclosure in the morning. She recognizes both Tom and myself and comes when she is called. Potty training is coming along and will take time, but she does seem to understand what she needs to do .....it is a matter of timing.
All in all this is an amazing puppy that is just beautiful to look at and gives us laughter all day long. You do breed amazing schnauzers! Thank you for giving us this wonderful addition to our lives. I hope that all is well with you and your family.
God Bless,
Bonnie C

I just wanted to let you know that Archer is going wonderful! He has acclimated to our home and family perfectly! We could not have asked for a more perfect puppy. He is 100% and 100% boy! He is so playful, cute, and cuddly! And as he has gotten older, his eyes are becoming so stunning. He truly is the sweetest!
Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Emily, Kevin, and Archer

Karie, please accept the following as a testimonial..
If you are looking for a mini-Schnauzer and you've reached this site, stop your search- you're in The Right Place! Karie and her partners have the Best Puppies, the Best delivery system and clearly love what they do. If you're afraid of flying your dog- don't be. Our boy Zip arrived at Baltimore airport clear eyed, bushy tailed and full of love and affection. The airline did a fantastic job and didn't even spill his water. The package Karie sends has Everything you want or need to make your puppy right at home. Our little man is an absolute joy and dealing with Karie was as easy as it gets. I would recommend Paradise Valley Schnauzers to anyone without reservation! You'll love her puppies and enjoy the whole process. Don't hesitate- getting your puppy here is the right move- so happy we did! The Barrett Family, Potomac, Maryland

Having lost a miniature Schauzer too young due to health issues, we chose Paradise Valley Schnauzers because Karie's thoughtful approach to breeding minimizes the possibility of health issues. She was patient and always thorough with information during our ongoing interactions. Rembrandt van Schnauzer was delivered to our home in August and is the happiest, most joyful pup we've ever had. I was nervous about the shipping across the country, but the airlines take super care of solo traveling pups. Rembrandt settled into our home within 24 hours.

The Signorelli family in Syracuse, NY Hi Carrie! It's Jerry Style. I purchased a Toy Schnauzer from you in June 2013. I call her Jem (I forgot what you called her.) Anyway, Jem is a huge part of my life. She is this wonderful little girl who comes to work with me every day in my tax and financial planning office. She greets all of my clients as they arrive and sits with them during their appointments. Everyone loves her. I wanted to let you know that I and Jem have taken therapy dog training through a national program called "Pet Partners." Jem received the highest possible grade, and can go see patients in hospital rooms. I sign Jem up for the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Caring Canine program, and Jem is now a "Caring Canine" at the MSKCC Hauppauge facility. We go every Wednesday and Jem helps people with their surgeries and treatments. It's awesome, and all patients and staff there absolutely love her. I remember that you told me when I bought her from you that Jem's mother was the most loving dog you had ever had. Well, Jem is cut from the same cloth. So, thanks for bringing this wonderful creature into my life. I hope all is well with you. Thanks again, Jerry Style We recently purchased a teacup schnauzer from Karie and her family at Paradise Valley Schnauzers, words hardly cover our experience! They were helpful and informative which doesn't even begin to cover what a perfect puppy we received! We received pictures and video updates of our puppy and were kept up to date on her progress. We knew Biscuit was being well cared for! They did such a wonderful job making us feel comfortable with the shipping process. We were well inofmred about what to expect when she came home and had many supplies to get her started! I highly recommend Paradise Valley Schnauzers, we have the BEST schnauzer thanks to them!! Renee S. and family We celebrated Cocoa's first birthday back in Phoenix March 1st Karie. Ten months now she has brought nothing but joy into our lives. She has a marvelous temperament, loves attention and is the best lap dog companion we have ever had. She loves to play with our other dog and has exceeded our every expectation! Both dogs flew down from Canada to Phoenix in the cabin with us making our first ever trip by air without a hitch. We are so pleased wit her, words are inadequate to express our sincere appreciation with our transaction with you as a breeder and highly recommend anyone who would seek our support for your services. Best regards, Jim and Diane Cornwall Karie, I have been looking for a teacup schnauzer for several years but couldn't find a breeder in AZ so when I came across Paradise Valley Schnauzers I was so excited as AZ has a city named Paradise Valley. Then I realized you were in UT. but by then I had seen Lizzee on your site and fell in love! I never thought I would buy a dog on the internet as we all have heard the horror stories of puppy mills but I am so glad I took the plunge to PV Schnauzers! Lizzee is the most wonderful dog, she has a great coat, coloring and disposition she was obviously loved and well socialized from day one. She is sweet, loveable and has no fear and those traits only develop with early positive human intervention. Karie you were so helpful and patient with all of my questions and concerns, I can't say enough good things about you and Paradise Valley Schnauzers! Thank you! Also a big thanks to all the extras that came with Lizzee they really helped transition her into my home with very little trauma. Kelly Jo Mallicoat I just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how much we absolutely adore Pixie! She is full of personality and is the perfect addition to our family! Thank you for breeding such beautiful schnauzers! We are in love with both of ours! The Sparks Family Jasmyn is just wonderful, so happy, so loving, great temperament and attitude...she LOVES to cuddle!!! Loves to give kisses and everyone just adores her! We are so lucky to have her. When we move to our next duty station in the future we may want another schnauzers and if we do and you are still breeding then we will definitely be contacting you again. Natasha Fortaleza We received the Puppy Package today, I am in awe with all the things we received from you. I am so glad we bought Hope from you. You are a truly awesome person/breeder. I am so glad I found you on the internet. Your were the only breeder that was patient with me and Kristi. Hope continues to be a wonderful and playful gal. When we received the bed and toys she jumped right in it and started playing with her toys! I didn't have to coax her to the bed. LOL. Thanks again and will keep in touch, Margo It's been almost a year since we acquired Sasha from you. She is adorable, lively, lovable and good-goody little doggies. She has brought so much joy into our lives since we got her from you. Thanks so very much for letting us have her. We adore her to death. Kristi Mortensen Hello Karie, I have to tell that we just love little Andy Beckit he has brightened our lives...especially since I lost my dad at the end of April and my momma just passed away in June...what a sad year. Coming home my family including Beckit were waiting for me and he made me so happy! What a smart little man, he is already potty trained and loves his backyard lots of grass and he loves his new sisters Amber and Autumn. He loves his big human sisters Haley and Hannah! We are so blessed! Thank you for him he is a true blessing to us all! Sincerely, The Lamberts Hi Karie, I just wanted to say thank you again. Maverick is doing great and he has brought so much joy to our lives already. He is WILD! He has so much energy and watching him zip around the house is a hoot. He will be right in the middle of being crazy and he falls so deep into sleep he doesn't move. Now we can't wait to see it happen again. I think he doesn't want to miss a second of anything. He has the best personality. Please let us know if you ever want a recommendation. We would be honored to sing your praises. thanks again, Tangie Weitzman Hi Karie, I can't tell you how much I love this little dog! She is so wonderful in obedience class. So smart, when you talk to her she looks you in the eye and tilts her head the whole time you are talking to her. She looooves the one cat and she loves Elsa. They wrestle and run through the house together. If the cat won't play with her, she picks up the cat toy and runs back and forth in front of her until she follows her. She is really one of the smartest dogs I have ever had. Thanks again, we just adore her! Vaune Aronson Hello Karie Even though we've only had him for a short while, I can't imagine being without Enzo. We adore him! He is a delight. He has definitely opened up to us. He is so smart, affectionate and playful. He is doing so well and growing like a weed. Thank you so much for breeding a wonderful loving member to our family! We couldn't ask for a better puppy. Sincerely, Mytien and Kevin Hi Karie, your baby Lady Antebellum is ONE YEAR OLD! She is so beautiful! She turned out to be a teacup, she only weighs 5.6 pounds. Tilikum has grown by leaps and bounds and is 7 pounds. They love each other to death and cannot be apart. They are so good, they don't chew anything, do their business on the potty and are the smartest pups! We really lucked out thanks to you and their great breeding...hope all is well with all of you, God bless you for enriching our lives with two beautiful dogs!!!!! I really made the right choice! Write back when you can and sending love from all of us especially Lady sending love to her Auntie Karie!!!!!! Hi Kari, This comment is lo-o-ong overdue. Today is our 3rd anniversary with Molly (a.k.a Bindy) and I cannot tell you how much of a help she has been. Two week after we moved from Wyoming to Cedar City Dennis was diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. While he was being worked up for that surgery the doctors found that he had 80-100% blockage in all of his coronary arteries. He underwent a six vessel coronary artery bypass and three months later had the aneurysm repaired along with a hernia repair. Molly was at his side all the way. She would lie in the bed with him in the ICU and cardiac care unit and you could see on the monitor that his blood pressure and heart rate would drop and he would immediately relax. She was so well behaved in the hospital the staff was amazed. We could not have survived these events without her emotional support. She is the love of our lives and we spoil her rotten. |

First, let me thank you for this beautiful baby! She is so sweet and absolutely surpasses all my expectations. I know we've only had her for one day, but she has totally won us over. Thank you, Karie, for everything you do and your dedication to this wonderful breed. I really appreciate your time and your information and the way you run your business. I will refer you to anyone looking for a special puppy. I guess we are going to call her "Willow", that is the vote from all the grand kids. She's eating and playing and getting to know us, she is doing great. Thank you again!
