We need your help - Please complete a health survey for your Schnauzers
HELP! The Standard Schnauzer Club of America has not received enough responses to its 2008 SS Health Survey to make the results valid. If you have not yet submitted your dog(s) information, PLEASE do so now! The deadline is June 30 if we want the data to be analyzed by autumn (the original goal). Every PVSSC member should participate!
Note - we need info from HEALTHY DOGS as well as dogs which have had health problems. Do not be put off by the apparent complexity of the survey -- if your dog has no health issues, then just tick the "NONE" box half-way down the form.
The information will be stripped of any identification clues and analyzed by an independent statistician so privacy is assured.
Only with wide participation can we identify possible health problems and protect our wonderful breed.

Rescue Committee - A message from Drake's new Family
|
|
In November I started looking around on the
internet for a Standard Schnauzer that could be a playmate for my 4 year
old Standard Schnauzer Zee. Much to my surprise I found an article on
the Potomac Valley Standard Schnauzer Club web site that a SS had been
rescued from a puppy mill and needed a home. On the web site was a
picture of Drake and a description. Drake seemed to be the perfect
playmate for Zee so I contacted Pat and Pete White and I was delighted
to hear that Drake was still available for adoption.
I had been working on training him to sit
and much to my surprise he did his first unassisted sit, I was thrilled
and I gave him many treats to celebrate the occasion. You could see on
his face how very proud he was of this accomplishment. (See photo) |

Great News!! "Mature" Mother & Daughter Standard Schnauzers have found Loving Home
|
Update March 23, 2007 As some of you may know, Cynthia Lorr of Von Molloy standard schnauzers died suddenly last Fall. She owned 5 standard schnauzers which were turned over to PVSSC Rescue Committee. Three of the younger schnauzers were placed rather quickly in new homes, however finding a home for the two older females Steinige age 9 and Pandora age 12 (a mother and daughter) proved to be a bit of a challenge. These two dogs are very very sweet and quite attached to each other. They share a bed and the stick by each other's side during the day. The rescue committee wanted to make sure they were placed together in the same home. Due to the diligent efforts of the club,
and the generous efforts of Georgia and Jean who fostered the two dogs
for an extended period of time, an adoptive home has been found!
Steinige and Pandora have been placed with a family in Pennsylvania. |
