Standard Schnauzer of the year

We were at the Standard Schnauzer clubs annual meeting which ended as usual with an award ceremony for the "Dog of the year" competition. This year our puppy owners really showed how versatile an Argenta-Schnauzer can be. We are so happy and proud of all our fantastic puppy owners and what they do with their Argenta dogs!

Happy and proud breeders and our puppy owner Ida Björklund receiving the prizes that the Argenta-dogs have won during 2019
