They are gorgeous Marcia! Are you going to show Star one day too?

No. her color is not black enough and she is a little on the small size. With Schnauzers, there are only 3 AKC 'allowable' coat colors... Black, Black & Silver, and Salt & Pepper. The judges do not like black Schnauzers, especially bitches, and will disqualify them if there is any white hairs on their body except for a samll spot on the chest.

Jet has produce several Champion offspring, and he & Star produced a very nice show quality pup, and their new owners are trying her in the ring (notice the small white area on her chest):

Ah, she's so tiny I thought maybe she was still really young. Anyway, she's a champion in my book!

Thanks... I think so, too! Actually, Star wasn't quite grown in the pic but she is a very petite adult now. Many breeders are trying to breed 'toy' Schnauzers, but AKC will not sanction them if they are under 12" at the shoulders. Star is 12.5" and weighs about 12 lbs., while Jet is 14" and weighs just under 19 lbs.
