What are we about?
Maple Ridge Snorkies Mission Statement
At Maple Ridge Snorkies, our mission is to raise healthy, loving, naturally reared companions with purpose, integrity, and lifelong support. We are committed to breeding small family dogs with sound temperaments, strong genetics, and a foundation rooted in natural health and holistic care.
Our puppies are raised in a home environment with intentional socialization, raw nutrition, natural immunity support, and species-appropriate care from the very beginning. We believe dogs thrive best when raised as naturally as possible — with real food, clean living, emotional connection, and thoughtful, minimal-intervention wellness practices whenever possible.
We focus on supporting the body naturally first while recognizing that emergency veterinary care has an important place when truly needed. Our goal is always to make informed, balanced decisions that prioritize the long-term health and well-being of our dogs.
We are dedicated not only to producing beautiful companions, but to preserving the bond between dogs and families through education, transparency, and ongoing breeder support throughout the life of every puppy we place.
At Maple Ridge Snorkies, our goal is simple:
To raise emotionally connected, naturally healthy companions that become deeply loved members of the family for years to come.
Our Story
How Our Journey Began:
Hi, and thank you for visiting Maple Ridge Snorkies! We are small-scale, home-based breeders passionate about the Snorkie — a delightful mix of Miniature Schnauzer and Yorkshire Terrier.
Our journey into natural rearing began already knowing I did not want vaccinated dogs. I was able to work with the breeders and get them to agree not to vaccinate the puppy I chose. Shortly after bringing Rusty home he came down with Parvo. That started me on my natural rearing journey. I jumped on the Internet looking for an online Vet to help me as well as any other source. I found Dr. Jessica Levy who is a holistic veterinarian and she walked me through this scary time as well as having the knowledgeable help of the breeder. After Rusty recovered we set an apt to meet with the vet and have Rusty checked over. She set me on my path of natural rearing, raw feeding, non vaxing, chemical free life for our precious babies. It gave us the desire to raise our dogs in alignment with nature: clean food, natural immunity, and a life free of unnecessary chemicals. Our dogs are cherished family members first and foremost, and every puppy is raised underfoot in our home with hands-on care and love.
Our goal is to produce Snorkie puppies with excellent health, loving temperaments, and strong genetics — all supported by a natural start in life.
