Starting out my top 10 dog breed countdown is the Miniature Schnauzer. Here are some great holiday gift ideas for the Miniature Schnauzer lover in your life.
Rebecca Collins’s gorgeously saturated canvas print of Cecil, the Miniature Schnauzer. Available on her Etsy shop. Rebecca is one of the most popular dog artists in the country and a Dog Art Today favorite. You can also order a custom digital painting of your pet from her ArtPaw website where gift certificates would make a wonderful gift too.
Hand pierced sterling silver Schnauzer pin from Bone of Art where over 70 other dog breed pins are available now.
Groovy Miniature Schnauzer t-shirt from Gifts of Love who have dozens of other dog breeds with this design.
Say “Merry Christmas” with this lovely Miniature Schnauzer ornament from graphic artist Karen Hocker. It comes with a red ribbon for tree hanging.
Look closely at this limited edition lithograph. The Miniature Schnauzer is drawn entirely from the words Miniature Schnauzer! This is an Ebay auction item that will expire on November 21 at 12:22 PST. You can see more of the artist Kline’s work at his gallelryNow online store.
Evolution of the Schnauzer long sleeve T-shirt from Obey the Purebreed. Love it!
Although I don’t have any Miniature Schnauzer art in my DreamDogsArt store, I do have this Schnauzer mix collage (seen here on a coaster). It’s based on my sister Regan’s dog named Logan, who is one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever known. He’s a big hit with Schnauzer lovers too.
I confess I prefer inclusive cards for the holidays, the "Season's Greetings" and "Peace on Earth." Not everyone is all about Christmas. But Christmas cards actually make up 80% of the card sales. (I do my research) So, I'll include them too ; )
These are some of my favorites from other artists.
Gorgeous Dalmation Christmas card from Art Paw's Rebecca Collins.
Airedale Sleigh Happy Holidays card from Purely Pups. They have over fifty breeds with this design, so if you like it and you're not an Airedale owner, visit their site and click on your breed.
Maltese and Santa Christmas card from painter Jean Batzell Fitzgerald who likes to include a great masterpiece in all her work. She has dozens of breeds too with this and other holiday themes on her site.
