Miniature Schnauzer For Sale
We are registered Miniature Schnauzer breeders at Yangan in Queensland, just under two hours from Brisbane, with litters through the year and a waiting list that matches each puppy to the right family. Our puppies are raised in our home and can join families right across Australia, and our support for you is for the whole life of your puppy.
Choosing a miniature schnauzer is also choosing a companion who will be with you for many years, so it makes sense to understand how your puppy begins life. At Merindah Farm, we raise miniature schnauzer puppies with care, patience and respect for their natural development. Our goal is to give each puppy a calm, healthy start so they can move into their new family with confidence and a clear sense of security.
Our puppies are raised in our home and on our farm, surrounded by routine, guidance and gentle exposure to the world. This early environment helps shape steady, thoughtful little dogs that settle well into a range of households.

Why Choose Miniature Schnauzer Puppies?
Temperament And Personality
Miniature schnauzers are intelligent, observant and full of heart. Their background as small farm dogs means they notice everything around them and they often feel the need to alert you to those changes. This instinct can turn into reactive barking if left unguided, but with good communication and structure they learn to listen calmly to their humans and move through the world with far more ease.
They form strong bonds with their families and enjoy being part of daily life. They like routine, they enjoy learning and they flourish when their people understand how they think. These dogs do not thrive when left to make the rules. They thrive when they are supported, guided and included.
A well trained miniature schnauzer is a rewarding companion, capable of enjoying coffee shop outings, quiet evenings at home and all the simple moments in between.
Health And Longevity
Good health begins long before a puppy is born. Our breeding dogs complete DNA testing through Orivet and Embark, and we monitor generational relatedness through detailed family trees. This helps us make informed decisions that protect the long term health of the breed and each individual puppy.
Our dogs are raised on a raw, species appropriate diet with carefully managed fat levels, which is particularly important for miniature schnauzers. Puppies begin life on food made from scratch, including freeze dried raw goats milk from a local dairy for neonate support when needed, which supports gentle digestion during their early development.
With these foundations, miniature schnauzers often live long, active lives and remain wonderful companions well into their senior years.
Where our puppies come from
Miniature Schnauzer Puppies For Sale In Brisbane And QLD
We are based in Yangan, Queensland, just under two hours from Brisbane, and our puppies find their new homes right across Australia. Our interstate puppy families choose their puppy by video call and watch them growing up before they travel to their new homes.
Our Breeding Standards And Care
Our breeding program is shaped by responsibility and transparency. Puppies spend their first days in our bedroom where we can observe them closely, and as they grow they experience new environments, new sounds and carefully supervised interactions with our adult dogs. This gradual exposure builds resilience at a pace that suits their age and temperament.
From a young age, puppies begin learning simple but important skills. They learn to wait for their meals, to follow gentle guidance, to settle in a crate and to respond to basic lead work. These early experiences play a significant role in helping them transition smoothly into their new homes.
When families purchase a puppy from us, they also receive a place in our Learning To Listen training program. This is our way of supporting both puppy and humans as they begin forming a lifelong partnership. The first two day workshop and the refresher weekend are included within the first six months after taking your puppy home.
Availability Of Miniature Schnauzers For Sale
We have a waiting list, and it is not often that we have unallocated puppies to advertise on our website. The list helps us match families with a puppy that suits their preferences and lifestyle.

If a puppy needs to stay with us past nine weeks, or if additional training or boarding is arranged, we offer this service for a daily fee that covers food, care and continued training guidance. We explain all of this clearly so families know exactly what to expect.
CONTACT US FOR OUR PUPPY PRICES
Our Puppy Price and What It Includes
We share our puppy price when we speak with each family, after we understand what you are looking for, because the price includes far more than a puppy. Every puppy goes home vet checked, vaccinated, microchipped, which is a legal requirement, and DNA tested for proof of parentage. In their first nine weeks we do extensive training with our pups, setting them up to be well behaved and easy puppies for families to welcome home. You can read about the training on our Puppy Training Packages page, and how to prepare on our Bringing a Puppy Home page.
Our health testing is published in full on our Miniature Schnauzer breeding program page. If you are still researching the breed, our coat and grooming and colours pages are a good place to start, and you can read what our puppy families say on our reviews page.
Sending Puppies to Their New Families Interstate
Many of our puppies join families outside Queensland. Puppies fly with Virgin from 9 weeks of age with a Fit to Fly certificate from our vet, their travel crate is included in the travel cost and is sized to suit them for life, and because our puppies are crate trained they travel calmly. You can read how it all works, including choosing your puppy by video call, on our Miniature Schnauzer puppies Australia-wide page.

HAVE QUESTIONS?
Common questions
How Do I Prepare For My Miniature Schnauzer Puppy’s Arrival?
Before bringing a puppy home, it is helpful to consider whether your household can provide stability for the next fifteen years. If you rent, you may need approval. If you work full-time, you may need to plan time off to help your puppy settle. If you have young children, it is important that they can learn how to behave gently and respectfully around a small animal.
Preparing a quiet sleeping area, planning toileting routines and deciding on simple household rules will help your puppy settle quickly. We discuss these steps with families before pick up so that everyone feels confident and prepared.
How do you train a Miniature Schnauzer?
Training is essential for this breed. Miniature schnauzers are clever enough to take advantage of inconsistency and will quickly create their own rules if humans do not provide structure. Every interaction with your pup teaches something, often unknowingly, and once a bad habit forms it creates additional work.
Our training approach focuses on clear communication, consistent boundaries and teaching puppies how to listen, rather than letting their impulses take over. With this guidance, they can grow into calm, reliable adult dogs that enjoy being out in the world with their families.
Are Miniature Schnauzer Puppies Good For Families?
Yes, miniature schnauzers can be wonderful family companions when their instincts are understood and appropriate training is implemented. They are affectionate, robust and deeply connected to their people. They suit families who enjoy including their dog in everyday activities and who are willing to maintain structured routines and clear expectations.
Many of our puppies join homes with children, travel through busy environments and take part in active family life with confidence and good manners.
Do you send puppies interstate?
Yes, our puppies regularly fly to their new families across Australia. They fly with Virgin from 9 weeks of age with a Fit to Fly certificate from our vet, and their travel crate is included and sized to suit them for life. The cost of travel is the responsibility of the purchaser and is booked by us, using our preferred travel agent.
How does the waiting list work?
We help to match puppies to families based on their preferences and lifestyle. Wait time depends on whether you would like the next available puppy or one at a future date, and we keep in touch with you along the way.
What health testing do you do?
Our breeding dogs have Full Breed Profile DNA tests through Orivet and Embark, and we maintain an extensive multi generation family tree so we never breed related dogs.
How do I reserve a Miniature Schnauzer puppy?
Contact us to talk about what you are looking for, then your place on our waiting list is secured with a deposit. The price we provide in our first communication is honoured when the agreed steps are followed.
How old are puppies when they go home?
Puppies can go home from 9 weeks of age. If a puppy stays with us longer, or additional training or boarding is arranged, we offer this for a daily fee that covers food, care and entry into our puppy training program.
What comes with a Merindah Farm puppy?
Every puppy goes home vet checked, vaccinated, microchipped and DNA parentage tested. Our puppies go with a high level of good behavioural training and manners, and we provide extensive and ongoing support to our puppy families before and after pick up, in the form of guidance on good nutrition and dental health, and our four day puppy training program. Our puppy families have access to our assistance for the life of the puppy. It is never too late to contact us for help, we want you to succeed with your pup.
