About Sugar Hollow Canine

At Sugar Hollow Canine, we consider it a privilege to preserve and improve the AKC Miniature Schnauzer breed. Our program focuses on health, temperament, structure, early socialization, and placing puppies in homes that understand and appreciate the breed.

Thoughtful Breeding.
Lifelong Support.

My name is Hannah Day, the breeder behind Sugar Hollow Canine. Since 2016, I have devoted myself to the careful, ethical raising of exceptional AKC Miniature Schnauzers. Each dog in our program is first and foremost a beloved member of our family, and every puppy is raised in our home with love, structure, and attention from birth.

Guided by a deep respect for the breed, our program prioritizes thoughtful pairings, comprehensive DNA and OFA health testing, balanced temperaments, and AKC breed-standard qualities. We focus on puppies who can thrive in companion, service, agility, or working homes with families who truly understand the Miniature Schnauzer breed.

Our commitment does not end when a puppy goes home. We proudly offer lifetime support to every family, and we work carefully to match each puppy with the right home based on owner preferences, our professional judgment, and the puppy’s unique personality.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience bringing home our miniature schnauzer puppy, Chesapeake (“Chessie”). From start to finish, Hannah was incredibly transparent, communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was done the right way. She consistently shared all the vital information throughout the adoption process, health records, lineage details, care instructions, and regular updates, which gave us confidence and peace of mind. When we drove away with Chessie for the first time, we could even see a few tears in Hannah’s eyes, which spoke volumes about how much she truly cares for each puppy. It was clear that she genuinely loves her dogs and cares about the families

Maggie had a great day and night and is adjusting beautifully. She slept the entire night, cried for a few minutes in her crate but as soon as we went into our bed and she saw us she settled down. She is incredibly sweet, definitely frisky! We love her already!

Our Miniature Schnauzer did great on the way home & his first night! He’s a lot farther along on potty training than I expected and he slept through the night. Most importantly, he and the kids hit it off right away!

We are so thankful that we came back to you for our second Miniature Schnauzer! Dano and Koky are excellent boys and are nearly identical. We get so many compliments on them. We had a pool party for their third birthday and they loved it!

Mia turns one tomorrow, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her. She has truly been everything we’ve ever wanted and more in a dog. Her personality, sweetness, and the joy she brings into our lives every single day have been incredible. We just love her so much.

Thank you so much to you for creating the best mini schnauzer we could have ever asked for, we feel so lucky to have her.

Hannah is true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with through the process of finding your family’s newest member. We just got our miniature schnauzer puppy, he’s healthy, fun, and adorable. We highly recommend working with Hannah to find your puppy. She’s wonderful.

Our Process

Our Miniature Schnauzer puppies are placed with approved families, beginning with those on our waiting list. From application through puppy matching, we keep the process clear, personal, and focused on finding the right fit.

1. Apply & Get Approved

Start by completing our puppy application and sharing your preferred color, gender, and purchase timeframe. Approved families may then join our waiting list.

2. Reserve Your Place

A nonrefundable $500 deposit secures your position and is applied toward the total puppy price of $3,500 plus tax. A waitlist position is not reserved until the deposit is received, and deposits never expire.

3. Litter Updates & Matching

Waiting-list families are notified of a litter’s birth within two weeks of whelping. Puppies are matched between 4 and 7 weeks of age using your preferences, our professional judgment, and each puppy’s personality.

4. Meet Your Puppy

To protect our dogs and puppies, we do not offer in-person visits to our home because of biosecurity and insurance requirements. We are happy to introduce our dogs and puppies virtually by FaceTime and help your family feel confident in the match.

A Few Important Details

Not every planned mating results in a litter, and every litter is different. If a current litter is not the right fit, you may remain on our waiting list for a future litter and often move closer to the first position as other families are matched. Occasionally, puppies become available after waiting-list families have been matched and are then listed on our website.

We reserve the right to retain a puppy from any litter. Families joining the waiting list agree to the current price; future pricing changes may apply to families who have not yet joined. The right match is worth the wait, and we are committed to helping each family find the puppy best suited to their home.
