MOUNT VERNON MINIATURE SCHNAUZER CLUB
Celebrating the Spirit of the Miniature Schnauzer
Welcome to the Mount Vernon Miniature Schnauzer Club’s website. We serve as a resource for all things Miniature Schnauzer in the mid-Atlantic region. Our members are primarily residents of Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC, though we also have members from the surrounding states.
We strongly believe in supporting sportsmanlike and friendly competition at dog shows, offering support for several shows through our trophy fund donations and show entries. Our specialty show is held each October as part of the Catonsville Kennel Club’s show at the Howard County Fairgrounds in MD. The club also supports entries at the Columbia Terrier Association of Maryland’s All-Terrier Dog Show in April in Timonium MD.
MVMSC has been serving the Miniature Schnauzer community since 1955. Our members are a valuable source of information, and our breeder members take great pride in the dogs that they produce. “Celebrating the Spirit of the Miniature Schnauzer” is more than just our club motto – our members truly love this spirited little breed. If you would like to join us in the celebration, please contact us about becoming a member of MVMSC!
Thank you for visiting and we look forward to meeting you!
