Hi Stephanie: (Roger & Claudette giving a reference, Roger flew here from Canada) (They are on their second dog from me)
Chris Hillman has let us know that you are considering getting a pup.
We made contact with her a few months ago after coming across her web site (www.camsnowbabies.com). We spoke with her quite a number of times and exchanged e-mails in arranging a visit to Idaho Falls to be able to see Boomer and decide if he was the right pup for us. I cannot emphasize enough how impressed we were with the information and news she gave us concerning her dogs and the way that they are raised. When I visited it was very obvious how all the dogs and pups are very well cared for and they are all so beautifully socialized with each other and their human companions. Since arriving home with Boomer, we have had nothing but pride, pleasure and very much happiness with him. He is an absolutely adorable puppy who gets along well with our many dog owner friends and their dogs as well as children.
Stephanie, I am completely confident that your decision to buy a puppy from Chris will be an awesome experience from the outset and well into the future. Not only will you have a gorgeous example of this wonderful breed, but  a very well  raised and socialized  puppy.
Please do not hesitate in giving us a call if you have any questions or need more information. Our number is xxx.
Best Regards
Roger & Claudette Spence

When I started looking for a Miniature Schnauzer, I made calls to several breeders. When I visited with Chris, she was so patient and answered all my questions. I was very  impressed by the time and effort she puts into placing a puppy with the right home.  After many calls I made the decision to get my puppy. I called Chris numerous times and she was always so gracious and took time to answer all my questions. 

Chris was so attentive to the process.  I named my puppy (CeeCee) so she started calling her by her name and she had me send an article (clothing, pillow case, towel, or etc.) to put in her crate with my scent.

We went to pick CeeCee up and it was love at first sight. The love and tenderness with which the puppies are welcomed into the world gives them such a wonderful introduction to life.

Chris gave me so much helpful information and had even shopped for me so the leash and collar and brushes there for me when I picked up CeeCee.  She even sent food with me for a few days.  Chris goes above and beyond before and after you get one of her puppies to assist with any questions.  She is just as dedicated and helpful after the purchase and pick up of the puppy as she was before the purchase of the puppy.                                                                                CeeCee settled in with such ease.  The work that Chris had done crate training CeeCee made the transition so much easier for me and puppy.  Also all that love and attention creates such a sense of security with the puppy.  She is a wonderful little puppy and has adapted so easily and I credit that to Chris and the wonderful love and care she gives all her puppies.  She gives such personal attention to the puppies and to the person getting the puppy, it is amazing.                                 I would recommend to anyone considering getting a miniature schnauzer to call and visit with Chris.

(Melissa from Texas)Well, I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with Paris - she is just perfect, we now call her Perfect Paris - haha!
Honestly, she is just so sweet and beautiful.  You guys did a great job socializing her.  She has never missed a beat - acts like she's been with us all along.  My daughter came over yesterday and was just enamoured with her personality - she's so outgoing.  I got a really cute picture of her sleeping in the toy bucket yesterday, but I accidentally deleted all of the pics off my camera before downloading them.  I'm sure I'll get more in the next few days.  And, the cat, oh my God, the cat.  They love each other!  At first, she was a little timid around the cat (for all of 2 seconds!) - but then she warmed right up. The cat is an outdoor cat so he craves attention when any of us goes outside.  Unfortunately, this made potty training a little difficult because when I take her outside all she wants to do is play with the cat (and visa versa).  So, I got wise to that, and when I take her out, I put the cat in the house, and then she has no problem doing her business.  It just took me a little while to figure that one out! - Melissa, Texas

I hope your kids enjoy the pictures. Roxy is awesome! We take her to the yacht club often and she soaks up a ton of attention.
We all feel so fortunate to have her in our lives, we couldn't ask 
for a better dog/companion/bed warmer/ floor cleaner/
face licker and best friend to everyone.

Thank You,
June

Hi Kelly, (asked for references)
I read the bio on Stitch and he sounds just like Roxy. Roxy is pretty 
much house trained also, that is a big bonus getting a house trained 
puppy with all his shots. Roxy is very playful with our other 
schnauzer, Bailey (6yrs) and with the children. We have more fun just 
watching her run around playing by herself, she loves to chase a ping 
pong ball and a stuffed squirrel. She also gets the older dog going, 
every morning after they go outside they wrestle around on the 
carpet. As far as the children, she's playful and loving. Roxy loves 
to lick, especially when you pick her up. I feel very lucky, Roxy has 
not chewed on furniture, shoes or anything like that.   Roxy is not a 
yappy puppy but she will bark when she can't get to me downstairs 
(Roxy can go upstairs but has not attempted down) or when she sees 
another dog or person near our yard. When I put her in her kennel, 
she's quiet and either chews on her toys or sleeps. Roxy is in a 
larger kennel now, she can see what's going on and our other dog 
likes to be in with her.
I couldn't ask for a better puppy, she's loving and cuddly and also 
fun and playful.
I have had many schnauzers in my life and one never knows what kind 
of disposition they will have? I can't tell you how lucky I am to 
have found Roxy.
If you have any other questions please feel free to email. If you do 
end up getting Stitch I would love to know what state he will live 
and how everything goes for you?

Take Care and Good Luck,
June

Kelly- (asked for a reference)
Just got my puppy last friday, I got Cally from the
website, but I renamed her Chloe. I probably could
talk on and on about my positive experiences with
Chris, so if you want to call me I am available at
XXXXX.
I have been looking for puppies for about a year and
after talking to breeders and actually going to some
breeders (of which I wasn't impressed bc they sold
tons of puppies --- puppy mill)--- I randomly stumbled
on Chris' website and gave her a call. From the first
minute I talked to her I knew she was great. She
answered all my questions and even told me things I
didn't even know about breeders. I live in Wisconsin
and thus picked up Chloe at the airport, all of which
was seamless. I was very nervous, but Chloe was on the
flight Chris told me she was and in a cute little
crate with blankets, toys, and an envelope with very
important information about her, training stuff, info
about raising mini schnauzers, food samples, etc.
It is hard to tell you too much about my puppy since
every puppy is a lot of work (just like having a
child), but so far so good. Just took Chloe to the vet
for a puppy check, he said she looks great. She has a
little bacterial infection which is normal for puppies
that the travel on the airplane (Chris warned me about
this before I got her) and is getting cleared up with
some inexpensive antibiotics.
Even though I have my puppy, she has even responded
very quickly to various questions i have about Chloe.
So, to sum things up, Chris is a great breeder. Very
honest, willing to answer lots of questions (I think I
have spent  around 2-3 hours on the phone talking with
her as we
