Biography
In May 1970 when Brian and his younger brother Wade, were discussing what to do for Mother’s Day, the then 12-year-old Wade suggested they purchase a Miniature Poodle puppy as a gift. Fourteen-year-old Brian, whose only source of income at the time was a paper route, said no. A few days later, Wade persuaded our mother Alice and they soon arrived at our home with a Miniature Schnauzer.

The show bug eventually “bit” us and we made a purchase hoping to improve the breed. In 1979, Brian entered Graduate School at the University of Tennessee; one of my professors in the Animal Science-Nutrition Department was Dr Karl Barth of Karlshof Miniature Schnauzer fame. He suggested that we get the best brood bitch we could afford. We did just that.

Under the AKC Registered Name Prefix, SUMERWYND, Wade & I have amassed over 80 AKC Conformation Champions, 7 Top Producing Sires and 6 Top Producing Dams, BIS Winners on Three Continents. We are especially delighted that over 11 dogs of our breeding have excelled in companion and performance events.
