You know what I love about schnauzer mix dogs? They’re adorable in different, unique ways, but they somehow have just as much attitude as purebred schnauzers! Haha! Have you ever met a schnauzer who didn’t think he/she was the boss? Of everything and everyone? I didn’t think so… and these schnauzer mix pups that I worked with recently are no exception!  :)

Grifo & Lady Roxy live with their moms – two cousins – in San Diego! Both ladies are originally from New York, and I think their dogs “inherited” a bit of that classic NYC swagger… they’re independent, headstrong, opinionated pups! Grifo is about 6 years old, Lady Roxy is about 2, and they’re both rescue mutts. They absolutely love to run around and explore, never straying too far from their moms… and while they’re not too big on “sit”, “stay” or many other commands, they certainly make up for it with their sweet demeanors! We didn’t have any shortage of affection during our photo session, that’s for sure – these dogs absolutely adore their little family!

This is Grifo! He can RUN! Mostly he just likes to hang out and relax – and bark at things – but I’m glad I got to see his need for speed!

And this is Lady Roxy… doesn’t she look like a proper little lady? She’s a total sweetheart and I think her name fits her beautifully.

At the end of our session, their moms were enjoying the sunset… but I think the dogs were more interested in my treat bag! Haha!

Patricia & Barbara, thank you for a really fun afternoon! I absolutely loved working with you & your dogs! Can’t wait to show you more photos soon! :)
