History:
The Miniature Schnauzer, originally from Germany, gets its name from the
German word for “muzzle” (schnauzer). The breed is derived from the
Standard Schnauzer and is said to have come from the mixing of
Affenpinschers and Poodles with small Standard Schnauzers. The breed was
exhibited as a distinct breed as early as 1899. The Miniature Schnauzer
was originally bred to be a small farm dog, able to go to ground for all
kinds of vermin.
Temperament:
Playful and alert, the Min. Schnauzer is a well-mannered companion. It
is less dog-aggressive than most terriers. It is clever and can become
headstrong, but is generally well-behaved. It gets along with children,
although can become a bit of a barker.
Maintenance:
A nice moderate walk each day or a romp in the back-yard will meet this
energetic dog's exercise requirements. Its wire coat needs combing once
or twice per week. Professional clipping every couple of months will
keep it looking like the standard.
