Welcome to Tailwind Kennels where we pride ourselves on preserving the natural beauty, work ethic, and drive of Giant Schnauzers.

​

 I began showing dogs in 4H. My initial interest was obedience, but I soon realized that correct
confirmation was necessary for longevity in performance sports. I began competing in AKC
events in the 1980s. I then began showing in AKC conformation in the early 1990s.

My dogs and I
currently compete in conformation, obedience, scent work, CABT, FAST CATS, barn hunt, and
tracking. I have also trained in SAR.
My desire to have all-around dogs led me to my breeding program. Some breed "Show Dogs"
some only "Working Dogs". I strive to produce dogs who have the ability and temperament to
perform and still be competitive in the breed ring.
