With a lifelong passion for dogs, training, and responsible breeding, Barbara Zurilgen Williams sets the standard for exceptional Miniature Schnauzers. Her expertise, dedication, and love for the breed ensure that each puppy is well-socialized, intelligent, healthy, and ready for their forever homes.
Currently, Barbara has Miniature Schnauzer puppies available, with more expected throughout 2025 and beyond.

🐾 A Lifelong Journey of Canine Excellence

Barbara’s journey with dogs began in her childhood in Bellingham, Washington, where she was surrounded by various breeds, gaining firsthand experience in canine behavior and training. At just 13 years old, she purchased her first AKC Champion Bloodline German Shepherd, igniting a lifelong passion for dogs.
Throughout her youth, Barbara was an active participant in 4-H for Dogs, receiving top-tier obedience and conformation training. Under the guidance of Addie Speziale of Von Ivo Kennels, she mastered the art of breeding, handling, and showing dogs, winning multiple titles, ribbons, and trophies in competitive events.

Her deep-rooted love for dogs led her to pursue advanced studies in canine behavior and training, including:
✔️ Dog Emotion & Cognition – Taught by Brian Hare, Ph.D.
✔️ Simple Solutions for Common Dog Behavior & Training Practices – Led by renowned Dr. Ian Dunbar
✔️ Insights from psychology and animal behavior legends like B.F. Skinner & Konrad Lorenz

Barbara’s decades of experience shape her unparalleled breeding and training approach, ensuring that every puppy is raised with science-backed techniques, love, and care.

🐶 Puppy Genius Head-Start Program – Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)

Barbara is not just a breeder—she’s a trainer, educator, and lifelong advocate for responsible pet ownership. She firmly believes that a dog’s early development shapes their temperament, confidence, and behavior for life.

✔️ ENS Training: Puppies undergo Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) to enhance their adaptability, intelligence, and resilience.
✔️ Comprehensive Socialization: From sounds and textures to potty training, crate training, and stair exercises, Barbara’s puppies excel beyond typical expectations.
✔️ Mental Stimulation & Obedience Foundations: Puppies learn basic commands, name recognition, and early problem-solving skills.

The result? Confident, well-adjusted, and highly intelligent Miniature Schnauzers who are ready to bond seamlessly with their new families.
