Absolutely! We'd be delighted for you to meet us and our zwergschnauzers. To ensure a smooth experience, please schedule an appointment beforehand. We can arrange to meet at the handling hall in Kyiv, where we iften train our dogs, or even schedule a walk in Kyiv.

Please note that we do not offer tours of our kennel. This is primarily because our setup is a family-operated kennel without specific enclosures, and our home doubles as the living space for both our family and our beloved Zwergschnauzers. Our dogs may not be keen on welcoming unfamiliar faces into their territory, and such visits could potentially create discomfort for our family as a whole.

Each pairing in our kennel is meticulously planned and holds specific breeding value for us. We can accommodate two or sometimes three litters of puppies per year, as each litter demands at least four months of dedicated, nearly round-the-clock care and attention.
When selecting breeding pairs, our top priority is the health of the prospective parents. That's why all of our breeding dogs, as well as those we visit for mating in external kennels, undergo necessary genetic tests and are in good health at the time of mating. Another crucial factor is wonderful character and breed temperament of the adult dogs, as these traits are passed down to future puppies, alongside their appearance.
As for the titles held by the parents, I no longer prioritize their show victories when choosing breeding pairs. After all, I know that championship titles are not inherited genetically. Instead, I meticulously analyze the bloodlines represented in each pedigree and identify which traits we aim to enhance or maintain in a particular pairing. Each combination is driven by a specific concept, fueling my aspiration that each new generation born at Eldzh Hope surpasses its predecessors.

Answering this question briefly can be challenging. While we plan to have an informative article on this topic on our website, still we can discuss in short format. Choosing the appropriate gender of your future family member, It's essential to consider details about you, your family, and your expectations for your future dog.
If you have children under 10 years old or limited experience with dogs, a male Zwergschnauzer might be a better choice. Males tend to be more sociable, approachable, and manageable, and they typically get along well with children. Female Zwergs are often more cunning than males and may attempt to assert authority over children, so keep this in mind when choosing.
In terms of loyalty and affection, both sexes excel. Obedience, however, depends less on the dog's sex and more on the amount of attention you devote to training and bonding with your pet. That being said, males are generally more accepting of boundaries, while females may test them repeatedly.
Additionally, consider the physiological aspects of owning a female dog, such as heat cycles twice a year, possible false pregnancies, and other nuances.
In conclusion, if you have little or no experience raising and living with Schnauzers, it's best to discuss the choice between a male or female puppy directly with the breeder before making a final decision.

My foremost responsibility is to ensure each puppy has a loving home, which means carefully selecting the right family. The primary criteria for choosing prospective owners include a responsible approach to welcoming a Zwergschnauzer as a future companion, understanding the puppy's and dog's needs throughout its life, an interest in training and education, and of course, unconditional love for the dog. I am always ready to assist and support you in any way necessary.

That's why it's crucial to choose a puppy that suits each family's unique needs. We must consider the puppy's personality and whether it aligns with the owners' expectations for their future pet.

After meeting you or conducting Zoom call with you, we will discuss your preferences regarding the puppy's character and temperament, your plans for living together, and any potential sports activities you may have in mind for your dog. We will use this information to guide our puppy selection process. As puppies grow up in our home, I observe their development and tendencies daily: some are more active and trainable, while others are more dominant or calm. Based on this, I can recommend the puppy that best aligns with your interests. It's crucial to me that the match of owner and dog is harmonious.

Since 2001, our kennel has been officially registered with the Kennel Union of Ukraine (UKU), which is a partner of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI), the International Kennel Federation.

All puppies from our kennel receive UKU pedigree verifying their background, a microchip, a veterinary passport with deworming and vaccination records, and a puppy purchase agreement from our kennel.

A quick note: The FCI is an International Kennel Federation that comprises national canine organizations from 98 countries. Approximately 350 dog breeds are recognized and registered within the FCI system. Ukraine is represented by the Kennel Union of Ukraine (UKU). The UKU pedigree is recognized in any FCI and AKC (American Kennel Club) member country.

Our kennel's alumni live in over 20 countries, including remote locations like Iceland, the UK, and the USA. We have experience in delivering puppies to various destinations, so if owners are interested in collaborating, anything is possible.

For those living in Ukraine, we will coordinate delivery arrangements together. Most often, owners come to collect the puppy themselves. I'll be delighted to meet you, discuss puppy care details, and introduce you to our adult Zwergschnauzers.

If you're unable to come, we'll ensure a secure delivery method for the puppy. We only utilize individual delivery methods and never transport puppies via train or public transport, prioritizing their comfort and safety during the journey.

For those living abroad, delivery terms and details are negotiated individually. Delivery is only possible if all official dog importation rules are followed for the specific country. We work with licensed managers who assist in preparing the necessary documentation.
