About miniature schnauzers

German dogs, Schnauzers come in three sizes (Giant, Standard, and Miniature) and were initially bred to catch rats and other pests outdoors. Today, Schnauzers thrive on human companionship and are extremely intelligent and naturally obedient, making them easy to train. Schnauzers are proud and independent dogs, and are loving towards their owners. They make wonderful watch dogs and are highly energetic.

miniature schnauzer Care

Miniature Schnauzers are known for their wire hair and distinct haircut. They must see a professional groomer every 4-6 weeks to maintain their coat as they should be clipped or hand stripped instead of shaved.

 

Miniature Schnauzers make great watchdogs and will alert you to every little noise.

 

While the Miniature Schnauzer is a great family dog they often attach themselves to a specific person in the household. They also make great cuddle buddies.
