Miniature Schnauzer Club of Southern California About the Club

A Brief History

In early 1954, ten Miniature Schnauzer breeders and exhibitors decided to form a breed club for Mini Schnauzer enthusiasts in Southern California. The success our club has enjoyed is due to the dedication of these founding members (listed below) as well as many other members who have maintained our strong commitment to the breed:

Florence Bradburn
Glenn Fancy
Jean Fancy
June Von Haley
Mike Lally

Bea Millan
Evelyn Peterson
Gerald Peterson
Betty Taylor
Ruth Ziegler

MISSION of the CLUB:

The goals of the Miniature Schnauzer Club of Southern California shall be:

To encourage and promote quality in the breeding of purebred Miniature Schnauzers and to do all possible to bring their natural qualities to perfection;
