Welcome! Jovial is a hobby kennel of Champion Miniature Schnauzer show & companion dogs since 1993. Champion dogs by AKC Breeder of Merit, Dr. Michael Ward

GREETINGS! I'm Michael Ward, founder of Jovial Miniature Schnauzers, show dog exhibitor and, AKC Breeder of Merit of Champion dogs. In 1992, while reading Shakespeare in high school, I found the word JOVIAL. I knew then it was my kennel name. That same year, I met Yvonne (Billie) Phelps, of Sole Baye Miniature Schnauzers, who introduced me to my first bitch, whose line I've maintained to this date

. My gratitude for Billie is expressed in the pride I take breeding dogs worthy of her kennel's pedigree. Over the course of 20 years, Jovial Kennels has bred and/or shown Miniature Schnauzers, Scottish Terriers, Brussels Griffons and, Standard Poodles. My first show dog was a Scottish Terrier named Jug, then Felix a black Miniature Schnauzer, trotted the show ring. In 1995, the professional handler to which I introduced my then co-breeding partner, won Best in Show at Westminster Kennel Club with Peggy Sue, a Scotty who belted 32 Best in Shows. Now, I focus my time and energy on Miniature Schnauzers as my hobby and love. Occasionally, Jovial has puppies available for sale to companion and show homes. Please contact Michael if interested.

I just added my Saturday morning yoga class as a business on Google. It is in desperate need of reviews! Please, regardless of taking my class, leave me a 5 star review! If you've taken my class, great! If not, you can just say something nice. THANK YOU!!

We added a big boy to the pack!! That’s Jaxon back with his mother, father, and older sister.

Please share and re-post if you agree! The holidays are approaching and it’s up to responsible pet owners to educate those who may not be quite prepared for the commitment.

We are devastated. In 28 years of breeding the same bitch-line, the Jovial line came to an end yesterday. Katie lost her pregnancy and was spayed to prevent sepsis. She is alive and well, but the litter was lost along with Jovial’s legacy. There may be a dog to earn the Jovial name in the future, but for now, there will be no more Jovial Miniature Schnauzers. Rest in peace, Little Ones. 😢

These are great words to live by! It is also wonderful to practice during stressful times like the holidays. Stay safe!

This was a handstand on St. Pete Beach over Thanksgiving. I know it's not perfect as I lean, but I honor rule #4 and accept that day's best and will not self-criticize. Show us your best even if you did it better another day! 919Spine
