TESTIMONIALS
Craft family with Gracie
Hantie exceeded every expectation we had as a breeder. From the very beginning, she provided weekly updates and made the entire journey with our beautiful Miniature Schnauzer, Gracie, incredibly special. Gracie is an exceptional example of the breed—beautiful, healthy, and wonderfully well-socialized. Her potty training and manners were impeccable from day one. It is clear that Hantie puts immense care, dedication, and love into raising her puppies. I would recommend Hantie and Sherdenich Kennels a million times over to anyone looking for a Miniature Schnauzer.
Dewar family with Fred
We lost our beloved schnauzer and always wanted a white Schnauzer so the research began. We were so happy we found Shereenich Kennels and from the beginning we were kept updated and once we knew we had our baby boy we were updated with photos and progress reports.
Just added to our excitement and that we knew our little man was coming from a loving environment.
We are thrilled with our little man Freddy who we received on 15th April. Freddy settled into his new home and now is the ruler of the house from pure cuteness.
Crouse family with Silke
Ek het Hanti Smith op google raakgeloop. Ondersoek gedoen en besef hierdie vrou gaan die ekstra myl met haar viervoet kinders. Ek het Hanti gekontak seker so 3/4 weke na my man se dood in Januarie en gese dat ek Mei maand reg sal wees vir een van haar miniatuur Schnauzers. N Paar dae later bel Hanti my. Die dogtertjie wat 11 dae na my man se dood gebore is, is beskikbaar. Hanti het my elke week n verslag en fotos gestuur van hulle vordering. Nou moet n naam gekry word. Mamma Julietta lyk vir my soos satyn en Silke word “gedoop”. My ou babatjie is net wat ek nodig het na my man se skielike dood. Hanti is nie net n goeie breeder nie, sy het n vriendin geword. Dankie Hanti vir my ougat en sassy klein dogtertjie. N Tuinmaker of note!!

Geldenhuys family with Everest
We recently welcomed Everest, a white miniature Schnauzer puppy, into our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the very first communication, everything with Hanti was smooth, friendly, and professional. I had the opportunity to visit her home beforehand, and I was genuinely impressed by the clean, well-kept kennels and the loving environment she provides for her dogs.
When we picked up Everest, she was calm, confident, and clearly very well socialized. Her personality is absolutely delightful—playful, affectionate, and full of character. It’s easy to see she came from a home where she was deeply cared for.
We’re beyond grateful for the care, honesty, and warmth Hanti showed us throughout the process. This was truly a five-star experience from start to finish.”
De Lange Liebenberg family with Tin Tin
A few years ago, I came across a Facebook post mentioning white Schnauzers. Curious, I commented on the post, and a lady kindly shared Hanti’s contact details with me. At the time, I already had two Schnauzers, but I knew there was still room in my heart for another one — and that’s when my journey with Sherdenich Kennel began.
From the very first interaction, my experience with Hanti was exceptional. Not only was she highly professional, but her genuine passion and love for the breed were immediately evident. She kept me updated throughout the entire process, regularly sharing sonar photos and making me feel part of every milestone leading up to TinTin’s arrival.
One thing that truly stood out to me was how much she values the unique personalities of each Schnauzer. She asked detailed questions about the type of temperament and character I was looking for, understanding that every family and household has different needs. What I received exceeded all expectations. Schnauzers have such distinct and human-like personalities, and Hanti treasures and nurtures those individual traits.
The administrative process was seamless and effortless. Then came the exciting day when we travelled to Port Elizabeth to collect our precious bundle of joy. Although we got lost on the way to the kennel, Hanti remained readily available on the phone to guide us there.
When we finally arrived, I turned to my husband and said, “This is Schnauzer heaven.” The environment was absolutely beautiful — a loving home filled with toys, bedding, and even a dedicated playpark designed specifically for Schnauzers. The puppies are clearly stimulated and socialised from a very young age, with plenty of space to play and explore rather than being confined to small areas.
Before we left, Hanti spoiled us with an incredibly generous goody bag filled with toys, puppy food, a small bed, mugs, and even a T-shirt. It was yet another reflection of the care, pride, and passion she pours into her kennel.
What we appreciate most, beyond the excellent service, is the continued support and communication long after bringing TinTin home. TinTin was born in 2022, and even years later, Hanti still checks in and remains genuinely invested in our dog’s wellbeing.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Sherdenich Kennel to anyone looking for a breeder who truly loves and understands this remarkable breed. Schnauzers have a way of capturing your heart completely, and once you’ve owned one, it’s hard to imagine ever choosing another breed again.
Thank you, Hanti, for the incredible love, dedication, and care you put into your dogs and your business.
