I'm based in Cornwall, living opposite a park in a double fronted granite cottage with a garden and just up the road from a fabulous beach.

I am looking for a loving family pet who is good with small children - my three grandchildren aged 6 years and twins 3 months.

Our last family dog, Elen, passed away earlier this year at the age of 17 having had a long, healthy and happy life with us. We are now seeking a new member of the family and would like to hear from breeders of miniature schnauzers who may have a dog to sell. I dont mind considering an older dog if a pup is not available. Would prefer a female, but would not discount a male.

I look forward to hearing from you. I can be contacted by email - susan.mcelroy@tate.org.uk, or by telephone 01736 791109.
