The Miniature Schnauzer is undoubtedly one of the best choices for perfect pet. Known for charm and personality the mini-schnauzer also has patience x 10, a perfect model for children’s imagination, glorified by doll dresses, sunglasses and hats. The miniature schnauzer is the most popular of the terrier breed and owners can give scores of reasons why. Of German origin, the miniature is a cross of the Standard Schnauzer and the Affenpinscher.

Their intelligence is superb as evidenced by remarkable speed in training — obedience, agility or practically anything you devote the time to. Confirmation standards have a 14″ shoulder height limit and around 15 lbs is an ideal weight. Colors range from salt and pepper to black with silver to solid black. The Miniature Schnauzer does not shed–period–and dander emission is so low as to make this breed a good choice for people with allergies. The Miniature Schnauzer is highly devoted to its family and will reliably guard the home. Grooming every couple months is the only maintenance required for this perfect pet with so many attributes.
