The Miniature Schnauzer originated in Germany during the 19th century as
a small farm dog able to rid the property of vermin. Stocky, robust
little dogs standing 12 to 14 inches, Miniature Schnauzers were bred
down from their larger cousins, Standard Schnauzers. The bushy beard and
eyebrows give Schnauzers a charming, human-like expression. The hard,
wiry coat comes in three color patterns: salt and pepper, black and
silver, and solid black.
Miniature Schnauzers are clever and comedic, but can be mischievous.
They are highly social and thrive on close and frequent interaction with
their families. The Miniature Schnauzer is spunky and playful, but can
also be reliable, loyal, and sensitive. The breed is highly trainable
and does well in both country and city environments. Wih a natural
ability to learn and a constant desire to chase, Miniature Schnauzers
are well suited for dog sports such as agility, earth dog trials, and
flyball. The Miniature Schnauzer is a generally healthy breed with an
average lifespan of 14 years.
