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.
I've kept her daughter Blitz to move forward with this line.

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 (Ukranian Import)
Dam: Devil Wears Prada Kornutinna (Ukranian Import)
She 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. Is not as eager to run up to strangers as most of my dogs but she'll come around if you don't push her and stay quiet.

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 (Ukranian Import)
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. She's not as eager to run up to strangers as most of my dogs and prefers quiet energy in her space. I have kept her daughter, Jiggle, to move forward with this line.

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 most nights. 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. All she wants to do is be held like a baby and snuggled.

Sire: CH. Augustas 'N Bandsman Justice League

Loving the temperament on this girl so far. Very reminiscent of her mother, Cherry. She's very sweet and lovable but still has the puppy play. She loves tug and just look at that adorable face!
Manit's Unchained Melody Belle Vista
"Melo"
Born October 21, 2024
Color: Black
Sire: Repitition's Unchain My Heart
Dam: CH. Manit's Just Give Me A Reason
Melo is a bit tentative and doesn't jump into the fray until after she has stood back and watched to make sure it's something she wants to get involved in. She's a real thinker! She enjoys toys and tug with the other dogs but would rather just get quiet attention from people. She's been to a few shows and is starting to figure it out.

"Taffy"
Born September 21, 2024
Color: Salt & Pepper
Sire: Manit's Outstanding In Our Field
Dam: CH. Manit's You Keep Me Hangin' On
Taffy could be Charms twin. They look and act so much alike it is uncanny. She is very submissive towards people and begs for attention but gets rowdy with the dogs in the yard and is hell on wheels when it comes to Schnauzer Wrestle-Mania.
