Jacob is a handsome AKC liver and tan Miniature Schnauzer boy with rich chocolate coloring and beautiful lighter tan points .
Born July 22, 2026, Jacob is from our carefully planned Gilded Greta × The Great Kartoffel litter.
Both Greta and Kartoffel have earned Excellent health-testing levels through Good Dog.
Jacob’s dam, Gilded Greta, was retained from our own Happy Beards breeding program. She is a beautiful cream liver Miniature Schnauzer and an exceptional mother. Greta’s parents, Prince Pierre of Prospect Park and Cleo of Hidden Hollow, were also health-tested members of our breeding program and are now retired.
His sire, The Great Kartoffel, is one of the special dogs behind our Happy Beards lines. Kartoffel is OFA health tested, AKC registered, has an AKC DNA profile on file, and is known for his beautiful coat and excellent temperament.
Happy Beards has been breeding Miniature Schnauzers since 1992. We focus on health, temperament, structure, and thoughtfully planned pairings while raising our puppies as part of our home.

We are located in Utah, but Happy Beards puppies join families throughout the United States.
Our preferred option for out-of-state families is our personal in-cabin flight nanny service. A Happy Beards representative personally travels with your puppy from us to you. Your puppy remains with us in the airplane cabin throughout the trip—never cargo and never a third-party puppy transport company.
Because we travel frequently, personal flight-nanny delivery can often be more affordable than families expect. Ask us for a quote to your nearest major airport.
Utah pickup is always welcome, and other meeting arrangements may be possible when practical.

Frequently Asked Questions
About
Miniature Schnauzer
Puppies
What's it like owning a Miniature Schnauzer?
Miniature Schnauzers may look like lap dogs, but they’re more likely to chase animals around the yard or stand guard at the door than be lazy couch potatoes. These loyal dogs are bundles of energy that enjoy spending time with their owners, protecting the home, and being your #1 companion. Full-grown, they typically weigh 11-20 pounds and stand 12-14 inches tall.
Do Miniature Schnauzers do well in a busy household?
Miniature Schnauzers are generally excellent with children of all ages. Miniature Schnauzers are not the warmest dogs upon initial introduction, but once they get acquainted with you, they’re sweet and loving. Their wariness around strangers usually leads to lots of barking, especially when they’re around other dogs. They're very vocal and bark quite a lot.
What activities do Miniature Schnauzers enjoy most?
Miniature Schnauzers are athletic pups that can barely contain their energy. They need to be exercised multiple times a day to stay healthy and avoid getting into trouble. These dogs love to run, play in the yard, practice earth dog or tracking activities, and do anything that gets their heart pumping. Overall, their exercise needs are very high.
How much grooming does a Miniature Schnauzer need?
Miniature Schnauzers have typical terrier-style coats. A soft, thick undercoat keeps them warm and is topped by a wiry outer coat. Their notable features include long hair on their chin and face, which gives them expressive eyebrows and a beard. Grooming-wise, this breed is fairly high-maintenance. Miniature Schnauzers are considered hypoallergenic, which can be a plus for allergy sufferers.
Are Miniature Schnauzers a good fit for apartment living?
Miniature Schnauzers are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. They can live outdoors in moderate or warm areas but prefer to spend most of their time indoors with family. They are highly trainable and eager to learn.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
