Welcome

The Portland Miniature Schnauzer Club (PMSC) was established in 1969 for the purpose of promoting wider knowledge and greater appreciation of the Miniature Schnauzer breed. Specific areas of club interest include the education of owners and breeders to promote responsible care and breeding, Miniature Schnauzer rescue, and events including dog shows and obedience trials.

Whatever your area of interest, if you're interested in Miniature Schnauzers, we'd love to hear from you. Our Contact Us page lists our members and contact information. You are also invited to join us at our monthly meetings. See our Meetings page for time and location.

Schnauzer Walk

You won't want to miss this annual event! What could be more fun than spending the afternoon with over 100 Miniature Schnauzers and their owners in beautiful Clackamette Park in Oregon City? The walk is held the first Saturday in August each year. See our Schnauzer Walk page for more information.

Finding a Miniature Schnauzer

If you're looking for a puppy, or an older dog, our members who breed Miniature Schnauzers are a great source. See our Finding a MS page for more information. But before purchasing a dog, please consider adopting one that needs a home. Some of our club members actively participate in Miniature Schnauzer rescue, helping to ensure that all Miniature Schnauzers that can no longer be kept by their owners find a new home with a responsible owner. See our Rescue page for more information.

PMSC Associations

The PMSC is recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the American Miniature Schnauzer Club (AMSC), and conducts shows in association with the Terrier Association of Oregon (TAO).
