Loubilou is a talented needle felt artist who has been creating likenesses of our schnauzers for over a year. Lou has raised hundreds of pounds for Mad About Schnauzers. In this post, she tells us about how she got involved in schnauzer needle felting and a bit about how it is done. I first joined…
In our new blog series on nutrition, Carole Sandhu, Dog Nutritionist, will give us some incredibly valuable insight into how food effects our schnauzers. Her first post is all about the healing power of protein. We certainly have a huge choice of dog food on the market to help us provide a diet that is…
Ava’s story continues and takes a positive turn. Ava makes huge progress when she begins exploring the big wide world – Ava Chapter 5. As the days passed, we settled into a routine of Ava spending most of her days behind the chair, often ignoring the comfortable dog bed and instead lying on the wooden…
Today someone asked on the Mad About Schnauzers Facebook Group what the collective noun is for a group of schnauzers. There were lots of excellent suggestions but my favourite was a Schnuggle of Schnauzers (and also the very apt suggestion of a Shout of Schnauzers!). I paid a visit to DBARC today with The Fabulous…

Today I took the Fabulous Famous Five crew to visit DBARC. If you are not familiar with them, The Fabulous Famous Five are Gertie, Violet, Hansel and Nell (all ex-puppy farm schnauzers I have adopted from DBARC) and Henry- the long-suffering Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. We were joined by Janet, DBARC Manager, and her schnauzers…
