Bogart Von Diable represents the vision of breeder-owner
Amy Shaffer who used 30-plus-year-old frozen semen from
one of most important sires in breed history to produce his
litter. The pedigree includes the old German Von Hahlweg
bloodline behind the sire, MBIS Charisma Café Diable, and
her own Crivitz and her mentors' Charisma bloodlines
behind the dam, GCH Crivitz Diamonds Are Forever.
" Bogart is living up to his pedigree, " says Shaffer of Crivitz,
Wisconsin. Handled by co-owner Tiffany Skinner of
Stanwood, Washington, Bogart has been the No. 1 all-breed
Standard Schnauzer since 2019. John Low and Bill Matthews,
longtime breeders of West Highland White Terriers under the
Arbroath prefix, of Riverside, California, also are co-owners.
Bogart was the Best in Specialty Show winner in 2021 and
2022 at the Standard Schnauzer Club of America National
Specialty. At the 2021 National, he won Bests of Breed at
two regional specialties while also winning four of five
Bests in Show at the Celebrate Virginia Cluster. Shaffer
began in Standard Schnauzers in 2001 with a male from
the Charisma bloodline of her mentors, the late Trevor
Adel and his wife, Constance. The Adels bred and owned
AM/CAN CH Charisma Jailhouse Rock, whose record of
75 Bests in Show stands today. " Rocky, " a two-time Working
Group One winner at Westminster, is the sire of Shaffer's
first male and is Bogart's maternal great-great-grandsire.
The outgoing Bogart is fed a mixture of Purina Pro Plan
Sensitive Skin & Stomach Salmon & Rice Formula and
Purina Pro Plan SPORT Performance 30/20 Chicken &
Rice Formula dog foods.
