What ethical behavior should a potential owner expect regarding health testing from a breeder producing recessive Red Schnauzers?

Reputable breeders will typically have extensive health testing results available for the parents.

When pursuing a less common shade, especially one linked to recessive genes like Red or Liver/Tan, the commitment of the breeder to overall breed health must remain the primary concern. Ethical breeders who adhere to breed integrity prioritize health testing for temperament and genetic soundness in the parents, irrespective of the coat color they are producing. If a breeder focuses their sales pitch solely on the novelty or rarity of the coat color and cannot furnish thorough health documentation for the puppy's parents, it serves as a significant warning sign that their breeding priorities might be profit-driven rather than centered on the long-term health of the Miniature Schnauzer line.
