I hope this information on Miniature Schnauzers has been helpful to you. When making the decision to make
any pet a part of your family, it's best to have as much knowledge of the breed as possible. I ask that you look at
all the pros & cons to decide if a Mini is the right pet for your home.
I make myself available for questions or help to my puppy families or anyone interested in providing a forever
home to a Miniature Schnauzer. I enjoy receiving emails and picture updates as my puppies grow with their
families as well.

OWNING THE MINIATURE SCHNAUZER:
The Miniature Schnauzer is an alert, spirited, friendly dog who is as much at home in a city with a small amount
of exercise as they are in the country where they appear tireless.
The Miniature Schnauzer makes a lovely pet because they are bright, curious, playful, and loyal. Their deepest
need is to live as a part of the family, going & doing what the family does. They are known to be excellent
watchdogs and are typically vocal, rather than aggressive, which makes them an ideal choice for prospective
owners. They might and courageous, yet obedient to command. They are hardy and healthy pets with a
generous life span of approximately 12 to 14 yrs. With proper care and veterinary assistance they can even live
to be in the upper teens. My Miniature Schnauzer I had as a young teen lived a wonderful and happy 17 years.
SIZE:
He is sturdily built, nearly square in proportion of body length of height, with plenty of bone, and without any
suggestion of toyishness. From 12-14 inches or 30-36 cm.
COAT:
The Miniature Schnauzer does not shed and while not hypo-allergenic, they can often be enjoyed by persons
who are allergic to other breeds. Double coat, with hard, wiry, outer coat and close undercoat.

| We'd like you to know what care our adult minis and puppies receive here with us. We provide filtered water which assists the pancreas from having to work and make enzymes just to break down the many chemicals in tap water. Our feeding program includes Nutro Ultra dog food which is a high quality food found at Petsmart, Petco and most specialty pet suppliers. I like Nutro products because they are wheat free which means less allergy issues & great coat. Nutro is also balanced in Protein & Fatcontent which is VERY important in a Schnauzer due to Pancreatic tendency. We also use NuVet immune boosting supplements for the total health of our dogs and puppies. Nutro Dog Food & NuVet info is also provided below. |
Of course it's true, I am very partial to the Miniature Schnauzer, but just as with any breed, proper, basic
training is key. In my experience I have found the Mini's intelligence and need to please is what makes them so
successful in learning the simplest of tasks, to complicated tricks.
Then there's the joyous potty training which can make many new owners frustrated if they, the owners aren't
consistent. Crate training, which was suggested to me by my vet years ago is a method I highly recommend
and wish I had known about with my first Mini. Be sure to read the info and useful tips I provide on our Puppy
Care page about Crate Potty Training. There are also lots of books at local pet stores and info on the web about
crate training which you might find helpful.

Male or Female?
makes a wonderful pet. In some breeds, gender has a noticeable impact on characteristics (size, temperament,
etc.). This is not the case with the Mini. Both sexes are affectionate and loving and the size difference between
males and females is not significant. The temperament of the parents is what benefits your puppy. Some
people are under the impression that female dogs that do not give birth are more likely to get cancer, this is an
erroneous concept. Another misconception is that male dogs lift their legs and urinate on the couches and
furniture in secret. Dogs that are properly trained will not urinate in the house be it male or female.
