Breeder

Hello!

Thank you for visiting my homepage! I am Minna Santaoja from Eurajoki, Finland. The nearest towns are Pori and Rauma. I breed miniature schnautzers black/silver under the name Mindog's. I've got my kennelname in 1998.

I've got my first own dog riesenschnautzer called Essan in 1980. I trainded obedience with Essan. Since those days the stubborn and faithful riesenschnautzer has belonged to our family.

When we then decided to get another smaller breed that could go along with us, the choice was easy: the little and stubborn miniature schnautzer. Our hobbies are long walks in the woods, but we also do dog shows, agility and obedience training. My family includes dogs, me and my husband and two children.

In year 2000 I got my first miniature Puti-Lillin Alice aka "Millenia". Millenia was exactly what I wanted and as soon as next year we got another female mini called Willy-Lee Nora. Millenia became my first female for breeding and that was something I never regret. Millenia has a big heart and fabulous temperament. The first Mindog's litter was born in 2001.

I have a small home breeding, and I breed for quality - not quantity. My aim is to breed healthy dogs with a good temperament, that are suitable both as pets and for everything between agility to tracking.
