Miniature Schnauzer

Miniature Schnauzer‘s are perky, energetic dogs with an enjoyment of people of all ages, including children. They have fun playing and doing fun tasks and enjoy being with their owners.

Miniature Schnauzer Training

However, they require careful training; this breed falls prey to ‘Small Dog Syndrome’ and other bad behaviors without careful guidance. For example, they are bold enough to try to pick fights with larger dogs if they aren’t socialized to dogs and in a fight, they will generally come off the loser. Miniature Schnauzers also have to be socialized to cats and small children too. If they are well trained, they are friendly and fun loving, but if they are ill trained or neglected, they can be vicious, nervous, and destructive.

Miniature Schnauzer Grooming and Health

Miniature Schnauzers are generally healthy breeds, though they gain weight easily and so their food intake should be watched.  They can also have eye problems and liver disorders.  Miniature Schnauzers should be brushed regularly so that their coats don’t get matted.  They can live to be about fifteen years of age and don’t show their age until near the end of their lives.

Miniature Schnauzer‘s enjoy traveling and they enjoy new sights and sounds. They enjoy being the center of attention and love the affection given by humans.  For this reason, they have to be loved, exercised, and well trained so that they, and you, can be happy together.  If you feel you have the time and energy to commit to the Miniature Schnauzer, then you should get one for yourself and your family.
