About Maumee Bridge Puppies

A Trusted Mini Schnauzer & Mini Poodle Breeder in Indiana

A Small, Family-Owned Kennel

Welcome to Maumee Bridge Puppies — a small, family-owned and family-run kennel located in New Haven, Indiana, just outside Fort Wayne. We specialize in raising beautiful, intelligent Miniature Schnauzer and Miniature Poodle puppies with the kind of love, care, and structure only a family setting can provide.

Our family has over 30 years of experience in dog breeding, and we officially established Maumee Bridge Puppies in 2008. Since then, we’ve helped hundreds of families across Indiana and surrounding states welcome loyal, healthy companions into their homes.

That includes everything from quality nutrition and veterinarian care to early socialization and communication with you during the process.”

We hold ourselves to high standards because we believe you deserve confidence and peace of mind when choosing your next best friend.

Why We Chose Mini Schnauzers & Mini Poodles

We chose these breeds because they offer the perfect blend of intelligence, affection, and hypoallergenic coats. They’re ideal for individuals, couples, and families — and they’re small enough to thrive in homes of all sizes.

Mini Poodles

Smart, calm, and eager to please. They are highly trainable and gentle, making them a favorite for families and first-time dog owners

By focusing only on these two breeds, we’ve developed deep experience and confidence in producing puppies with great health, structure, and temperaments.

Meet Our Family & Kennel

We’re a multi-generational family who believes in doing things the right way. Our dogs are part of our daily life, and every puppy is raised with the same attention and care we would give our own pets. Visitors often comment on how calm and well-mannered our puppies are — and we believe it’s a direct result of our hands-on approach and peaceful, loving environment.

We live on a quiet country property in New Haven, Indiana, where there’s room to run, play, and thrive. Our setup is clean, well-maintained, and exceeds all state and federal standards for animal care.

“We got there around 8:30 at night. They were very polite. Me and my husband bought Ace from them. He was shy at first and now he is very well-behaved. You can tell they care.”

— Christina T.
