Hello and welcome to the Windy Acres Mini-Schnauzers website!!  
    My name is Gloria Hicks. My husband Darrell and I live on two
    gorgeous acres in Mount Airy, Maryland. We also own twenty acres
    with a rustic little cabin in the beautiful mountains of Western
    Maryland where we plan to retire some day. Both of our children are
    grown and on their own, so I decided that the cure for empty nest
    syndrome was to bring a dog into our home again. I had over 20
    years of experience breeding Yorkshire Terriers and English Cocker
    Spaniels while our children were growing up, but it had been a few
    years since our last dog passed away. After researching several
    breeds, I decided on the miniature schnauzer. My husband was not
    happy with the whole dog thing at first, but once I brought them
    home, he was hooked!!
            We are not a kennel. All of our dogs are members of our
    family; raised inside our home with full run of our house. They do
    require regular brushing to keep their coats fluffy and matt-free for
    that well known schnauzer look, but can be shaved short in order to
    lessen the grooming.
            Although we have had different breeds over the years, these
    energetic, playful little dogs have definitely taken the number one
    spot in our hearts. They are shed-free, intelligent, loyal, inquisitive
    and friendly. So, if you are young or not so young, with children or
    without, whether you live in an apartment or a house, if you are a
    family of 10 or a single person living on your own, a miniature
    schnauzer (or two or three) will be the perfect companion for you!!
