Notes on Miniature Schnauzers
Miniature Schnauzer is a breed of small dog on the Schnauzer type that originated in Germany in the mid-to-late 19th
century. Miniature Schnauzers developed from crosses between the Standard Schnauzer and one or more smaller breeds such
as the Poodle, Miniature Pinscher, or Affenpinscher.
Miniature Schnauzers are quite distinctive in appearance. They are compact, muscular, and square shaped.
Owners typically groom them with long busy eyebrows, beards and long leg hair. Ears are sometimes cropped to stand upright,
and the tail may also be docked. Their coats are wiry, and shed very little, which adds to their appeal as house pets.
AKC recognizes only three colors: Black, Salt and Pepper and Black with Silver markings.
Height of about 13-15 inches at the withers are common and they generally weigh 13 to 18 lbs.
Miniature Schnauzers are known for their friendly personality and mischievous sense of humor, as well as intelligence
and boundless energy. Another characteristic of the dogs is loyalty to their masters. A Mini Schnauzer's personality
can develop based on the family with which it lives.
While very good with children and most other pets, the Miniature Schnauzer does best when growing up with them.
The earliest records surrounding development of the Miniature Schnauzer in Germany come from the late 1800's. The
earliest recorded Miniature Schnauzer was in 1888. They were originally used for guarding herds, small farms, and families.
As time passed they were also used to hunt rats, because they appeared to have a knack for it, and it's small size was perfect
to get into tight places to catch them.
