Riesenschnauzer vom Wasserlauf

Effective March 2020 we suspended breeding indeterminately 

 Effective January 2021 we have made the decision to suspend further litter planning

We have experienced a massive influx of puppy inquiries since the start of the pandemic. Our screening methods have revealed that many applicants use deception or are outright lying when completing our questionnaire, as well as during the subsequent telephone interview. The degree of deception increased exponentially in 2020. Additional time-consuming investigative techniques became necessary to expose the deceit 

The risk of placing a puppy in the wrong home, puppy mill, or backyard breeder; combined with the knowledge that dog pounds and rescue agencies will be overwhelmed when the apex of this pandemic passes causes us great concern. Regretfully, this has forced us to make the difficult decision to terminate our breeding program

The intention of our breeding program was to improve the breed, and to place our puppies in the correct, loving, forever home or professional career. We will never be complicit in the destruction of the life of a puppy  

We will be maintaining our current memberships, municipal breeding licence, health testing, and training, pending future re-evaluation
