We have had several miniature schnauzers over the years, but the 2 we got from Greg Evans 10 years ago have been the absolute best. Our vet is so complimentary every time he sees them. They are healthy, study, well-mannered and have great personalities. I was looking for a good breeder when I found this one. I really liked all the information I found about their dogs, their ideas about breeding healthy dogs and the way they handled the adoption process. It was all very professional and it was also very obvious that their puppies are NOT puppy mill puppies. I have no idea who this Jenny is that wrote the bad review, but she doesn't know what she's talking about. When the time comes and we need to get another dog, you can be sure we will drive from Iowa to Florida in a heartbeat to get the best one out there! read more

WE picked up our puppy from Evans two and a half years ago she is loving and very intelligent, we have become extremely attached. Belle is the first pup that we purchased from Evans and she will be the last. We have had five miniature Schnauzers, and we know what issues they have from a health stand point, so it has been very disappointing, that at two weeks Belle needed to go on Apoquel to prevent her scratching herself raw. At six months the vet discovered a cataract in her right eye. Far worse than this are the epileptic seizures that she started to have at 2 yrs. old. We fear the worst for our beloved friend. Sadly we fell for all of the hype regarding genetic perfection, I can only say buyer beware. read more

We have THREE Evans Ranch schnauzers. The first acquired 11 years ago and two more in the past two years. Each of the last two required a 17 hour road trip each way to FL to pick up and we'd happily do it again for more. Simply put, it appears Jenny tried to pull a fast one and is trying to use Yelp to punish very reputable, caring breeders. Based on my interactions with the family and their dogs, Jenny is a liar. read more

My parents have operated Evans Ranch Schnauzers for 20 years. Anyone who knows them or their dogs can attest to the high standards they keep- not a kennel or dog run on the property. Their dogs have always been raised in the home as family pets. Their schnauzers are all confirmation championship lineage and they also have competed in agility, holding national titles in the sport. The Yelp posted by "Jenny R" has nothing to do with my parents or their schnauzers so I find it odd that it is even posted in reference to them. A case of misplaced aggression on Jenny's part. Let me clarify the circumstances Jenny alludes to for the record. I agreed to purchase a male boxer from her, based (naively) almost entirely on her description of her "fantastic dog" as well as a very misleading photo. Payment was to be due following his siring of a litter with my female. I picked up the dog en route back to Iowa and it was late. I was not allowed the opportunity to take the from from the shed he was housed in, into the house for a better view. We drove straight through to Iowa (whew!) and were shocked when we arrived in daylight to make the following discoveries. *Our van was FULL of fleas, crawling all over and had infested our female as well- Dogs had already ran into our home and home was also now infested. *Our vet found a heavy (and long-standing) colony of ear mites in this male. *The dog had numerous (permanent) teeth missing. *Dog was not the age Jenny had stated (she later admitted to this). *Dog had an undescended testicle, a clear disqualification for breeding. *The boxer also had chronic and unremitting diarrhea and putrid flatulence that thoroughly permeated our entire home. *Additionally, the dog would vomit regularly in our home. I immediately called jenny and disclosed our findings and asked her to come pick the dog up. She flatly refused and demanded payment for the dog. I continued to call her, requesting she pick the dog up and she persistently refused. Consequently I informed her i was advertising the dog- "free to good home", in our local newspaper. Placement of the dog had to be delayed for approximately 1 month to allow time to doctor the many issues- the cost of which far exceeded the purchase price of the dog. Moreover, we had to bear the expense of home and vehicle flea eradication. We interviewed several people and ultimately placed the dog with an Amish family in the country. We apprised Jenny of that development to which she promised to "ruin your parents business", adding the unveiled threat, "I also know where your parents live!" Foremostly, it must should be noted Jenny's deception and subsequent complaints had absolutely nothing to do with Evans Ranch Schnauzers, their dogs, their integrity, or any transaction involving them. She simply sold ME an extremely poor quality boxer with numerous issues including serious manifestations of neglect which would meet any state's standards for abuse. In conclusion, for a long time I simply ignored the audacious posting by Jenny, until the inequity and misrepresentation of facts and culpability in the matter overwhelmed me. Not to mention a solitary and erroneous black mark on my parents otherwise stellar reputation of 20 years, which I inadvertently caused. I don't believe further elaboration is indicated and additional comments from Jenny should be viewed as hearsay at best. read more

I purchased a female schnauzer from Evans Ranch Schnauzers at the end of February of this year. Her name is Amy. When she came to us it was obvious that she had been well cared for. She was a quick learner and very affectionate. She is now approaching 11 months old. She is the most amazing schnauzer I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. And I am very familiar with this breed. My mother had one. I owned one previously and I have trained 2 others. Amy was by far the easiest to train and most desirous to please. She has a great vocabulary and instinctively Intuit's what we expect from her. She is an excellent car rider as was promised. We are not the only ones to admire her temperament. She is loved by all and I am often told by groomers and her day care workers that she is the best schnauzer they have ever dealt with. I would strongly recommend puppies from this breeder. read more

My little Heidi is almost 2 1/2 years old. She is beautiful, healthy and a protective, faithful companion. I live in a senior community and Heidi is a friend of everyone. She heels, sits when you point at her, stands and walks on her back legs, does twirls on her back legs, and jumps through a hoop, she is by my side all the time. You couldn't ask for a better dog. I would recommend Evans Schnauzers to anyone who loves dogs and wants the best. They raise the best. read more

My 1st experience was great- my second horrible. These people DO NOT CARE about dogs- they're a commodity & discarded (to end up in shelters- of which I have proof) if it gets too hard to take care of them. They, specifically their daughter- took my dog across the country, refused to pay for him, & then gave him away. I trusted them because our first experience went fine, & boy did I pay for that trust! His microchip is still in my name & he's recently turned up at an animal shelter, 4 states away. To say I'm heart broken & angry doesn't cover it. read more
