Miniature Schnauzer - Pet Care Information

The Miniature Schnauzer is a robust, active dog of terrier type, resembling his larger cousin, the Standard Schnauzer, in general appearance, and of an alert, active disposition. Faults - Type - Toyishness, ranginess or coarseness.

The Miniature Schnauzer is a terrier breed originating in Germany, and being recognized as early as the mid 1800's. The name "Schnauze" means "Snout" and the dog was so named because of the beard on the muzzle. Originally several breeds are thought to have played a part in the development of the Miniature Schnauzer as it is now known. The Spitz, and/or the Pomeranian of that day, the Miniature Pincher, the Affenpinscher, the Scottie, and the Wire Fox Terrier figure in the history of the breed. A blending of the various coat textures, colors, and temperaments have helped to develop the lively, ingratiating, and smart companion we now know.
The typical Miniature Schnauzer is alert and spirited, yet obedient to command. He is friendly, intelligent and willing to please. He should never be overaggressive or timid.
