(Ch. Sole Baye's T. J. Esquire x Ch. Allaruth's Zephyr Too)

April 1987 to February 1998

"Charles" is the inspiration behind Jovial's Miniature Schnauzer breeding program.  Owned by Yvonne Phelps (Sole Baye) and bred by Ruth Ziegler (Allaruth) Charles was handled by Maripi Wooldridge to 15 Specialty Best of Breeds, 3 of which were from the American Miniature Schnauzer Club's National Specialties. Charles truly was one of the all time great dogs in the history of the breed. 

We strive to reproduce a dog of his like. He is sorely missed by all and survived by his prosperous litters. He is half brother to Jovial's foundation bitch.  He has sired 16 champions, including several bred by Jovial. His daughter, Dee Dee, is pictured on this web site.

Jovial shall always remember this impeccable dog in our hearts and our breeding.
