Welcome!  I am Barbara Hughes and am the owner of Black Gold Kennel. We live in a nice, country community of Gardendale, Texas. Gardendale is known for Race Horses and Pecans and I hope soon for world famous Schnauzers.  My friend and neighbor bought a registered Doberman and she enjoyed her so much that she thought that I needed a dog. She went online and found just the right dog for us. I Bought my first Giant Schnauzer from Skansen Kennel in  2001. She was the most beautiful dog I have ever seen. My husband and I went to Dallas and picked up our puppy - Mega - from the airport. 

We didn’t even get out of the airport before we had to stop and see what she looked like. Out came the happiest, most loving little thing in the world. She licked us all over and was really happy to see us.

We started right away to train her - or rather, for her to train us - which ever. We tried agility but she was afraid of heights. So we decided to do conformation. With the help of the 15 year old daughter of my friend and neighbor, we started going to the dog shows and started to win. What excitement, to know that your dog was the best that day We finished Mega in San Antonio at the spring show . Holly has really enjoyed showing dogs and has helped Professional handlers show their dogs in the ring. She would like to have a career as a Professional Handler.

 When we were at the show in Oklahoma I found a beautiful miniature schnauzer. He looked just like Mega only smaller. I bothered the owner every day until I finally talked her into letting me buy him. He is from Curriers miniature Schnauzers. He turned one year old in Feb 2004 and we started showing him, but grooming him is a bit different than the big one. I hope that I have learned more about it and when we go back out he will have a little more age on him and I will have groomed him better.

I had planned for Holly to take Mega out this summer and special her but Mega had other plans. She came in season in May and we bred her at the end of May She was bred to a beautiful dog owned by Mat &  Michelle Smith , Champion Pangia Banditto V. Kamir.

Bandit has an easy going personality and is very playful even at 9 years old. Between the two of them we should have fine puppies with straight backs, good tail sets, great heads and a fabulous coat. These puppies should be born on July 21st .
