This perfect photo was taken yesterday in Llandudno and we're sharing with kind permission from Colin's mum (in her orange wellies).

Schnauzerfest is about moments like this between Colin and his mum, walking for other dogs to be able to share moments like these.

We love all sizes of meet ups some dogs prefer a quieter meet up, others love the hustle and bustle :-)

Streatham Common this morning. We think the Schnauzers were ready for the walk while the humans were fuelling up on coffee and cake.

Surrey Hills Schnauzerfest followed by Woofternoon tea today was thoroughly enjoyed by humans and dogs. Thank-you to everyone who supports the charity, talking about Schnauzerfest, wearing items from our shop, eating the cakes made and donating so generously.

BUT for now he’s doing well & we’ll go day by day 🧡

🧡 GOOD NEWS…Sam pulled through heart surgery 🧡

While it went well, uncertainty remains long-term as during the op another congenital defect, a Ventricular Septal Defect — a hole in Sam’s heart - was found.

Further surgery may be needed.

Lyra found a patch of sunlight on her recent woodland walk #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer sitting in a patch of sunlight filtered through trees. To be strictly accurate she didn't find it, we thought it might make a nice photo and bribed her to sit there with the promise of a treat, but hey.

Susie-Belle is the reason #Schnauzerfest exists. She experienced great cruelty during her life but when rescued and adopted she went on to know nothing but 🧡 love 🧡 for 4 years.
