Dogs on this page are not for sale.
The girls at Belle Vista are typically around 1.5-2 years of age at the time they have their first litter. They typically produce 4 litters and are retired, living a spoiled life on someone's couch by the time they are 5 years old.
Belle Vista Ring Of Fire
"Cinder"
Born September 9, 2020
Color: Black
Sire: Belle Vista Straight A's In Love
Dam: Belle Vista Bittersweet
Very laid back, she's on the calmer side like momma Ellie. Cinder does not appreciate dumb energy in her space and tends to stick to herself in the yard. I'll look out to watch the shenanigans and she's sitting in the corner by herself sunbathing. She's a beefy girl. 13.25" tall at a super stocky 16 pounds and there is nothing fat about her.

Belle Vista Hey Soul Sister

Dam: Augustas Sinners Have Souls
The BOUNCE! She's not necessarily super high energy, but everywhere she goes, she bounces. Her style ranges from Pepe Le Pew to a kangaroo, maybe a Tigger too! I've literally seen her hop on just her hind legs as she makes her way. She's hilarious! She has a beautiful coat that I can keep in a "lazy roll", pulling the long stuff about once a month. I want this coat on all my dogs! 13.5" tall and about 16 pounds.

Belle Vista Cherry Bomb
"Cherry"
Born April 24, 2021
Color: Salt & Pepper
Sire: Wlanimu's Hammerblow
Dam: Belle Vista Bittersweet
I love Ellie so much that I decided to keep a second daughter from her in hopes of replicating the quiet and mellow temperament. This little girl has more pep than Ellie but not over the top. She absolutely loves people but is happy to find a bed and keep herself occupied with a chew stick. She has the same awesome coat that Sasha does.

Belle Vista The Black Pearl
"Pearl"
Born June 10, 2021
Color: Black
Sire: Belle Vista Straight A's In Love
Dam: Belle Vista Jewel Of The Nile
This girl has got springs and knows how to use them. I expected a quieter demeanor out of Cash and Cleo. She loves attention and will do anything to make sure you notice her. She's a bigger girl at 14" and built like dear ole dad which I actually prefer since the bigger girls seem to be less likely to have whelping problems.

Belle Vista Japanese Iris
"Iris"
Born July 11, 2022
Color: Black & Silver
Sire: Wlanimu's Hammerblow
Dam: Devil Wears Prada Kornutinna
Calmer than sister, Drama, and loves to choose a favorite toy to hoard for the day. She's a little more noisy than I prefer but not terrible. She'll focus when I need her to and is eager to please.

Nature's Nook Shakin' What My Momma Gave Me
"Ophelia"
Born Oct. 30, 2022
Color: Salt & Pepper
Sire: Belle Vista Straight A's In Love
Dam: Wlanimu's Truly a Treasure
FYI - All Schnauzers are born with tails. Historically, tails and ears were cut short (docked and cropped) in order to give the rats and other vermin they hunted less areas to bite and do damage to the dog. Today, the breed standard still calls for tails to be docked and ear cropping is optional. Tail docking is to be performed within the first few days of birth. Similar to circumcising a baby boy, the puppy will not be traumatized and has no recollection of it. Since Ophelia was not docked early, she will be keeping her full tail. She is very sweet and personable with people and can be a bossy peacekeeper out in the yard with the other dogs. She definitely won't put up with any BS.

Dam: Belle Vista Just Jetta @ Augustas
Co-owned with Leslie Arendt
Lily is very mild and sweet with people. It doesn't take much to hurt her feelings so I've had to learn to tone myself down because I'm a loud, boisterous person. On the flip side, she's one of my more assertive girls in the yard with the other dogs and generally rules the roost.

Augustas Song Of The South
"Teddi"
Born: February 22, 2022
Color: Salt & Pepper
Sire: CH. Penlan Pandemic
Dam: Belle Vista Just Jetta @ Augustas
Co-owned with Leslie Arendt
Teddi is a sweet cuddle bug. She's a bit needy for my taste but I'm not normal. She likes to play with the other dogs and I don't think she'd be great at being an "only dog" but is always demanding love and attention from people.
Belle Vista Girl Next Door
"Charm"
Born May 15, 2023
Color: Salt & Pepper
Sire: CH. Augustas License To Chill @ Belle Vista
Dam: Belle Vista All American Girl
Irene claimed this little girl for her own and she sleeps with her regularly. She is small at only 12" tall. While she does hit the minimum size in the breed standard I don't typically like to keep them this small.
