Hello, I'm Crystal — the hardworking, schnauzer-loving mom, wife, and fur mom behind Crystal Rose Canines.

My passion for raising these incredible dogs began in 2014 when I was searching for the perfect small-to-medium-sized family companion — smart, loyal, loving, and hypoallergenic (because this clean freak couldn’t handle the shedding!). When I brought home my first schnauzers, Jaxson and Jolene, I was instantly hooked. They were amazing with my children and became my best friends through some of life’s toughest seasons.
That love and comfort inspired me to share the same joy with other families — and that’s how Crystal Rose Canines was born. With the support of my wonderful husband and children, our schnauzer-raising adventure began and has since grown into a true family dream.

Today, we live on our 11-acre farm — our little slice of heaven. Here, we raise our family, our dogs, and even a few of our own animals: beef cattle, chickens, and dairy goats. It’s a simple, happy life where our kids can be kids, and our dogs can be dogs — free, loved, and thriving.

I believe this lifestyle makes all the difference. By raising our schnauzers in a nurturing, family-centered environment while giving them the sights, sounds, and smells of farm life, we help them grow into confident, well-rounded companions — ready to bring love and adventure to their forever homes.
