Chicago Miniature Schnauzer Club

The Chicago Miniature Schnauzer Club, Inc., was formed in 1952 by a merger of the Midwest Schnauzer Club and Miniature Schnauzer Club of Chicago with membership of 50 folks. The foremost goal of the club then, was to maintain and/or improve the present standard of the breed and to bring to the attention of the general public the fine qualities of the Miniature Schnauzer. That goal remains the same today as it did over 50 years ago. We are a non-profit, all volunteer organization with members who come from as far away as far north as Woodstock, as far west as Oswego, and as far south as Monee. We have members from Arizona, California, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.

CMSC members are made up of dedicated responsible breeders, performance enthusiasts and loving pet owners who share a common goal of preserving the Miniature Schnauzer breed.
