“From the moment we spoke with Janeena on the phone, we knew we had found the right breeder for our family. Her passion for Miniature Schnauzers and her unwavering commitment to breeding healthy, well-tempered, and beautiful dogs was clear in every conversation. What truly set her apart was the care and dedication she showed long before we even brought our pup home.
Janeena kept us closely informed throughout the entire journey from pregnancy updates to videos of the birth, and regular footage of our puppy’s first few weeks. Watching our little "Jet" grow before we even met him in person made the experience incredibly special.
Her early training and socialization practices are outstanding. Jet came home already accustomed to everyday household sounds, and with a strong foundation for potty training both on pads and outdoors. It’s no surprise to us that he’s such a smart, confident, and handsome boy. We know that’s thanks to Janeena’s conscientious breeding and the loving environment she created during his earliest weeks.
Jet has only been with us for eight months, but it feels like he’s always been part of our family. Our two boys, 10 and 12, absolutely adore him, and he returns that love wholeheartedly. He truly completes our family.
What’s more, Janeena has continued to be a source of support and wisdom. She regularly checks in, offers advice when needed, and clearly cares deeply about each of her pups long after they leave her care. It’s no exaggeration to say she feels like part of our extended family now.
Thank you, Janeena, from the bottom of our hearts. Jet is everything we hoped for and so much more. We’re endlessly grateful to you for bringing him into our lives.”

“We are so happy we chose elite schnauzers to find our pet, Willow. Janeena was quick to respond to my emails/texts and provided plenty of progress pictures and updates while we were waiting to take Willow home. There is no doubt in my mind that she loves these schnauzers and truly wants the best for them. Willow has been an absolute dream and I would not hesitate to choose elite schnauzers again! Thank you for all you do!”

“I cannot recommend Janeena enough as a dog breeder. From the very first conversation, it was clear how passionate and knowledgeable she is about her dogs. Her years of experience truly shine through in every aspect of her work from the way she cares for her animals to the meticulous attention she gives to their health and temperament.
Janeena is incredibly diligent; she ensures that every pup is raised in a safe, nurturing environment and receives the best start in life. She's also wonderfully polite and responsive, always taking the time to answer questions thoroughly and keep me updated throughout the entire process. It's rare to find someone so professional and genuinely caring. Choosing Elite Schnauzers as a breeder was the best decision I could have made, and will continue to recommend them to my loved ones.”

“As first-time dog owners, we couldn't have asked for a better experience than the one we had with Elite Schnauzers and Janeena. From the very beginning, Janeena was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and kind guiding us every step of the way as we prepared to bring our puppy home. Over a year later, our dog Richie is not only healthy and happy, but he has truly become a beloved member of our family.
What has meant the most to us is that Janeena’s care didn’t end after the purchase. She has always been available to answer questions, offer advice, and check in on Richie’s well-being. It’s clear she genuinely loves and cares for every dog she raises. We feel so lucky to have found Elite Schnauzers and are endlessly grateful to Janeena for helping bring Richie into our lives!”

“To anyone looking for a breeder of amazing caring schnauzers. You have found the best in Janeena.
This is my third Miniture Schnauzer over the last twenty years and this was hands down the best experience I have ever had.
Not only was I lucky enough to adopt my little boy Ridley I have also adopted his sister Maze. Janeena gave us so much information and support throughout the whole process.
Thanks so much Janeena and your husband.”

“We brought home our miniature schnauzer, Rita, over three years ago, and she has been an incredible addition to our family energetic, affectionate, and full of personality. From the start, Janeena was outstanding to work with: extremely helpful, patient, and accommodating. She sent us regular video updates of the puppies before we picked Rita up, which helped us feel connected and confident in our choice. Janeena also provided us with detailed advice on nutrition and care, setting us up for success from day one. We’re so grateful for the love and dedication she puts into her dogs and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a well-raised, happy puppy.”

“We had a wonderful experience getting our adorable mini schnauzer from Elite Schnauzers! From the very beginning, she kept us updated with photos and videos, which made us feel so connected and excited. Everything went smoothly, and we could tell how much love and care she puts into her pups. We couldn’t be happier with our sweet girl we named Terry Fox!”

“When I first came upon Elite Schnauzer's and met Janeena, we started talking and getting to know one another. I was added to the list for an upcoming litter and followed the momma, Willow’s journey from mating all the way up onto the moment she gave birth to the cutest little angels my husband and I had ever seen! Janeena called me late into the night, sent me pictures and there she was! My adorable little baby girl, Buffy! I couldn’t wait to take her home; She was healthy, beautiful coat, the cutest baby I had ever seen. Instantly her papa and I were in love with her. When we picked her up we were overjoyed. Janeena was amazing and kept us up to date, and our baby girl was gorgeous! Our dream had come true and now we had this amazing little angel who to this day is full of love, sass and goofiness. But has the biggest heart full of love and companionship. We love our little pup more than life and she has brought into our lives more sunshine than the sun. Even on the most greyest of days. Thank you Elite Schnauzers! And thank you Neena for making our dream come true. Love you girl!!”

“1 year after my soul-dog passed, I felt I was ready to love another dog.
I was scrolling on Kiijii and I came across ‘Elite Schnauzers’. My heart melted viewing all the schnauzers, so I sent Janeena a message and it all went up hill from there!
Janeena is extremely kind, patient, knowledgable, professional, loving and thorough. Together we picked the perfect puppy for me. After the delivery of my cream coloured schnauzer, Janeena kept me in the loop and sent me so many pictures of my boy. She even captured a video of him opening his eyes for the first time…. is that magical or what?! I was so excited every-time she sent me updates on his developments and growth. I felt the love from Janeena which made the adoption process so memorable. I truly felt she was just as excited as I was. When I got to take my pup home, Janeena’s love didn’t stop there. She was always available to answer questions for me and guide me to ensure her puppy had a smooth transition.
Today, my Eddie is 1.5 years old. He is healthy, happy, energetic and people always stop me to say how cute he is.
The whole experience was amazing and it’s because Janeena truly loves her dogs. 5 star rating all the way. 💙”

“I’m beyond happy with my two puppies, Maze and Ridley. They are in excellent health, full of energy, and incredibly smart and playful. You can tell right away they come from a loving and well-cared-for environment. Their temperaments are wonderful, and they’ve adjusted beautifully.
Both Maze and Ridley came with microchips and the cutest colorful collars, which was such a thoughtful touch. It’s clear that you put so much care and attention into every detail. I also really appreciated your professionalism, support, and kindness throughout the entire process you were always available to answer questions and made everything so easy.
Thank you again for being such a responsible and caring breeder. I truly couldn’t be happier with my pups!
Wishing you continued success with Elite Schnauzers!”

We welcomed Gracie into our lives on June 27th, and from that day on, our hearts began to heal. After losing our beloved Rocky, we weren’t sure we could open ourselves up to another dog the pain was still so fresh. But something told us to take the leap, and we are so glad we did.
My daughter has Gracie’s sister from a previous litter, and I remember thinking, if she’s anything like her, we’ll be blessed. And we truly are. Gracie is loving, gentle, and unbelievably smart she has brought so much joy and comfort into our home. My husband and I adore her more than words can express.
When we picked her up from Janeena, I could immediately see how deeply she cared for each of her puppies. It was clear they had been raised with so much love and attention. Gracie is everything we could have hoped for and more. We are so thankful she’s part of our family.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Elite Schnauzers and to have welcomed our miniature schnauzer, Snowy. From the very beginning, Elite Schnauzers' unwavering commitment to the well-being of every puppy was evident. They were warm, responsive, and genuinely devoted, making us feel confident in our choice.
When Snowy came home, it was clear that he had been raised with love and care. He adjusted quickly, showed confidence in new situations, and instantly brought joy to our home. Snowy has the perfect balance of playfulness and affection.
We are continually impressed by Snowy's excellent temperament and intelligence, which reflect the breeder's attention to socialization and responsible breeding. It's clear that Elite Schnauzers do not just raise puppies they nurture future family members.
We are so thankful for the beautiful start our puppy received and for the continued support we've felt along the way. We couldn't imagine our lives without Snowy, and we wholeheartedly recommend Elite Schnauzer to anyone looking for a healthy, happy, and loving miniature schnauzer.
With heartfelt gratitude,
The S's

We had an incredible experience with Janeena from Elite Schnauzers! From the very start, she was professional, caring, and deeply dedicated to her dogs. She raised an immaculate pup healthy, well-socialized, and full of personality. Throughout the entire process, she kept us updated with weekly messages, photos, and videos, which made us feel truly part of the journey. Her responsiveness and attention to detail gave us total confidence and peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better breeder or a more wonderful dog!

Working with Janeena was a pleasure. She is an ethical, conscientious breeder who clearly loves her dogs and is deeply committed to their well-being. From helping me select my dream girl to supporting us after I brought Greta home, Janeena was responsive, knowledgeable, and caring. She places a strong emphasis on health, temperament, and sound breeding practices for her puppies, dams, and sires. A fantastic breeder highly recommended. Thank you Janeena for getting me my dream dog. Greta is amazing.

Janeena is truly like an angel she loves every single one of her dogs with all her heart. I have never seen Schnauzers so well-trained, healthy, and beautiful. If you’re in Canada and considering getting a Schnauzer (which you definitely should!), Elite Schnauzers is the only place to go.
Donna F
We are so happy with our handsome and clever puppy. O’Lee has gorgeous markings in black and white. He has personality plus! O’Lee was easy to house train and adapted to our routines quickly. We are so grateful for finding Elite Schnauzers and a caring breeder, Janeena. It was worth the drive to Wasaga Beach!
Vitali V
From the moment we connected with Janeena, we knew we were in great hands. Her Instagram gave us a real sense of who she is caring, knowledgeable, and passionate about her dogs. She was quick to respond, answered every question, and kept us updated through every step of the process.
When Mona was born, Janeena sent regular photos and videos, showing how much love and attention each puppy received. By the time we picked her up, Mona was well-adjusted, confident, and fit into our family instantly as if she’d always been with us.
Janeena has continued to be incredibly supportive even after adoption, always available with advice and genuinely interested in how her puppies are doing. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a miniature schnauzer raised in Ontario with true care and heart.
Sethu V.
My family and I had the best experience with Janeena. From the very beginning, she created a group chat for all of us so we could stay connected and updated, which honestly made the whole process feel so personal and reassuring. She sent daily photos and videos of our puppy, Happy, and always shared helpful information about his health, growth, and care. You can tell she truly loves what she does. She was patient with every question we had and made sure we felt completely prepared before bringing him home. We’re so grateful for everything she did for us. Happy is the sweetest boy, and it’s all thanks to the amazing start she gave him.
