Our Story
About Magalia Crest
A small family breeder in Northern California devoted to raising exceptional Miniature Schnauzers with love, integrity, and respect for the breed.

A Labor of Love
Magalia Crest Miniature Schnauzers began with a simple love for the breed. Our Miniature Schnauzers quickly became cherished members of our family, and our passion for their spirited personalities, intelligence, and loyalty led us to dedicate ourselves to raising puppies that bring the same joy to other families.
Every puppy at Magalia Crest is born and raised in our home, not in kennels. They are handled daily by our family, exposed to normal household sounds and activities, and socialized with care from day one. This early nurturing builds the confident, affectionate temperament that makes Miniature Schnauzers such wonderful companions.
We breed selectively — typically one or two litters a year — so every puppy gets individual attention. Parent dogs are health screened before breeding, puppies see our veterinarian for their first exam, deworming and first vaccinations, and each family goes home with feeding, grooming and crate-training guidance from us. Families in Magalia, Paradise, Chico, Oroville, Redding, Sacramento and across the country are welcome to apply.
