Miniature Schnauzer

Miniature Schnauzers may look like lap dogs, but they’re more likely to chase animals around the yard or stand guard at the door than be lazy couch potatoes. These loyal dogs are bundles of energy that enjoy spending time with their owners, protecting the home, and being your #1 companion.

Miniature Schnauzers are bold, confident dogs that bond with family members and vow to keep them safe. They’re natural protectors and use their high-pitched bark to alert you to anything out of the ordinary. Miniature Schnauzers refuse to see themselves as small and can be pushy at times, but with larger-than-life personalities and a strong loyalty streak, they’re wonderful companions that will latch on and never let go.

Miniature Schnauzers are not the warmest dogs upon initial introduction, but once they get acquainted with you, they’re sweet and loving. Their wariness around strangers usually leads to lots of barking, especially when they’re around other dogs. Miniature Schnauzers need human companionship and a lot of attention. They can live outdoors in moderate or warm areas but prefer to spend most of their time indoors with family.

Miniature Schnauzers have typical terrier-style coats. A soft, thick undercoat keeps them warm and is topped by a wiry outer coat. Their notable features include long hair on their chin and face, which gives them expressive eyebrows and a beard. Miniature Schnauzers are usually black or salt and pepper, and they don’t shed much. However, they need a lot of grooming to maintain their trademark appearance. These dogs should be brushed weekly and professionally groomed twice each year. Schnauzers that are show dogs tend to be stripped or shaved.
