Scnauzer

Scnauzer

At one time the rough-coated Scnauzers and smooth-coated Pinschers were thought to be varieties of the same German Pinscher Breed as they often occurred in the same litter. . The American Kennel Club standard remarks that dogs that are too large lack the agility and maneuverability of a working dog and can not perform the work for which they were intended.

The breed gained popularity after World War I. During the war the dog often served as a messenger dog, often braving the enemy fire to travel to its destination carrying the orders of the day.

  • Easily trained.
  • Stick close to their human family.
  • Very dominant breed.

    In working like this with all you training your Scnauzer puppy will learn and enjoy being a "follower" within the family. Consistency is the key again as is praise after every successful change in behavior you dog shows.

    The miniature German Scnauzer is small and squarely proportioned, with a bushy beard, mustache and eyebrows. Mini Scnauzers are perky, bright eyed, energetic, active and playful and are good with children. This breed likes companionship and attention of its owners and is devoted to home and family.

    The Giant Scnauzer can live between 12 and 15 years with proper nutrition, medical care and excellent living conditions.

    Before and after buying a miniature Scnauzer a through medical checkup along with the inquiry of the medication and immunization should be done to keep you dog with sound health. If the dog gathers dirt in his eyes, a concoction of 2 cups of water and a teaspoon of salt should be the perfect solution. Avoid eye drops unless prescribed by the vet.
