About Us:
About Reign On Standard Schnauzers. At Reign On Standard Schnauzers, our passion for animals runs deep and spans generations.
Katrina’s roots are in the equestrian world, where she spent over 30 years riding, training, and competing. She studied equine science and history in college and worked both professionally and as an amateur in the horse industry. From 2012 to 2016, she proudly served on the USHJA Zone 4 Board. Her lifelong experience with animals, combined with a military family upbringing, taught her discipline, dedication, and the value of purpose-driven work.
Katrina and her husband, Chris—a U.S. Army veteran—eventually settled in Alabama after years of traveling. Their journey into the world of Schnauzers began in 2012 with the addition of their beloved Miniature Schnauzer, Pierre. A charming and intelligent companion, Pierre was the spark that ignited a deep love for the breed. Though he passed away in 2022, his legacy lives on in the foundation of our kennel. (You can visit Pierre’s Page to learn more about his incredible spirit.)
In 2015, after more than a year of research and planning, Katrina and Chris welcomed their first Standard Schnauzer, Annie — GCHB CH Elkhart Terramar Suzanne Sugarbaker CD BN CAX FDC BCAT CGCA CGCU TKI ATT RATI. Annie came from Chris Faulk of Elkhart Standard Schnauzers, whose generosity, guidance, and patience turned what began as mentorship into a friendship that has now spanned more than 10 years. Not long after Annie, Summer — GCH CH Elkhart's Suddenly Last Summer BCAT CGC TKN ATT — also came from Chris, and together the two girls became the foundation of our breeding program. More importantly, the journey of raising them has been deeply enriched by the support, encouragement, and lasting friendship we found in Chris along the way.
Our latest generation is represented by Heggie — GCH CH Reign On Drops of Jupiter CGC TKN — the first to proudly carry our kennel name, Reign On. Each of our dogs is fully health-tested, and their results are publicly available on OFA. We are committed to breeding dogs that are not only beautiful and structurally sound but also intelligent, driven, and deeply bonded with their people.
Our Standard Schnauzers are truly members of our family. Whether traveling to the beach, visiting horses at the barn, or enjoying time on the family farm in Alabama, our dogs are always with us. They thrive on adventure, structure, and connection—and they’re happiest when doing it all alongside their humans.
We take great pride in the accomplishments of our dogs, who have competed at some of the most prestigious events in the country and abroad, including:
Westminster Kennel Club (2018, 2019, 2023)
SSCA National Specialty (2015, 2016, 2019, 2021, 2024)
AKC National Championship (2017, 2019, 2022) Crufts Qualified.
The name Reign On reflects Katrina’s deep ties to her equestrian past, as well as her desire to honor and continue the legacy of the lines behind her dogs—including Centara, Charisma, Julia, Oakwood Kennels, and more.
Katrina is an active member of:
Standard Schnauzer Club of America (SSCA) – since 2015
Potomac Valley Standard Schnauzer Club – since 2017
Decatur Alabama Kennel Club – since 2013.
