Hi, and welcome to my website, my little space in cyber world, where you can meet all of us at Kennel Schnauzerhill. My name is Rune Toftum and I live in Lonaleitet in Bergen surrounded by the most fantastic nature. Me and my dogs take long walks in the spectacular mountains every day. Let me start with the beginning, my first dog was a Doberman, Nicedobs`s Bonnie who gave me the interest of showing. At a dog show at the same time I saw this little Miniature Schnauzer, really full of him self, with an attitude and self-confidence that really impressed me, and then Kennel Schnauzerhill was founded in 1989. Since then my goal has been to breed high quality Schnauzers, which are healthy, beautiful and with a superb temperament.

I started out with dogs from Kennel Graaskjegg, Penlan and Risepark, incredible skilful people that became both friends and mentors. True out many years with this gorgeous breed I have bred many Champions, Group Winners and Best In Show Winners.

Schnauzerhills Cover Girl was exported to Denmark to Kennel Kanix/Gillegaard and was the mother of 3 Guldhund Winners ( Best Miniature all colours ). Schnauzerhills Call me Al, from the same litter as Cover Girl was exported to Kennel Made In Spain. Al sired Made In Spain Torero, who became Best In Show, Grupwinners and was twice most winning Miniature Schnauzer in France. Also Kennel Myltans have had major success with dogs from me.

I have to mention those dogs I started out with, my foundation, those who gave me the quality and type I strive for in the breed. AM Ch.S Ch. INT Ch. Penlan Polarize ( Watson ). Am Ch S Ch Penlan Puppet Master and Such Penlan Private Affair. Watson was for me epitome of the breed, he was most winning at special shows in US, and his sire Am Ch Penlan Polarity achieved the same the year before as most winner among all colours. I am very proud of having five generations of bitches after these fantastic dogs.

After a while there came Giant Schnauzers here at my kennel, when I got the opportunity to buy Bergsbakken `s Tuva, that girl entered my life as a tornado, happy, lively and very outgoing! I was studying the breed on internet and found two boys I though was very handsome, and I was very pleased when I saw they was father and son, Pectus Zaica and Gloris Anton. I have had two litters with Gloris Anton and now I go on with the lines I mean will give the type I am looking for. The youngest Giant here with me now is Schnauzerhills Look at Me, she has the temperament and type I will have at this breed. Her showcareer will start in 2009.

Then you might ask, why a Schnauzer, and why from Kennel Schnauzerhill? For me the Giant Schnauzer is the dog worlds answer to the Gladiator: powerful, proud and brave! The Giant Schnauzer is an impressive dog, intelligent, sensitive, happy, engaging, strong, active and loyal. All this makes me very humble upon what I experience together with them, the communication, the trust and the drive they give me. Because of this I give all my passion for the breed in my breeding program, socializing my puppies, follow up my puppy buyers, and in that procedure do so that every dogs skills are beeing considered, and every puppy find the family they will thrive in. Happiness is for me long walks in the mountains, and when we are at the top, my dogs gather around me, and I can see the joy and happiness glows out of their eyes. I love to see my pack happy and safe, trusting their leader. All this I really want to share with my puppies and to those who gives them a home, to give away a happy, trusting puppy. Everyone that buy a Schnauzerhill puppy will get all the guidance they want true out the puppies life, and help with grooming. I enjoy very much the art of grooming, so my dogs always have a beautiful healthy coat, showing their anatomy to perfection. Help with grooming follow every puppy from me.

It is with very happiness and enthusiasm I can tell you that two new little wonders have come to me, a new breed for me, Miniature Schnauzer Black! I collected them in Madrid at Kennel Made In Spain, their name are Emotion and Granada. I have been thinking of this colour for a long time and for me Kennel Made in Spain is one of the best breeders in the world on the Miniatures, so the choice was easy. It is a honour for me to own two such great looking girls with a crème de la crème pedigree.

The future looks bright...
