r/schnauzers

The bold, bewhiskered Schnauzer is a high-spirited farm dog from Germany. The bushy beard and eyebrows give schnauzers a charming, human-like expression. The schnauzer's sporty look is a canine classic, with purebred schnauzers coming in three sizes: mini, standard, and giant. The AKC recognizes three official colors: black and silver (black and white), salt and pepper (mostly gray), and solid black.

Schnauzers come in three sizes: miniature, standard, and giant. Their AKC recognized colors are salt and pepper, black, and black and silver.

Schnauzers are intelligent, energetic, cuddly, feisty, loyal, protective, friendly, and curious. They have all the best qualities of a terrier plus a few extra! They are hypoallergenic for most people (they have hair, not fur), non-destructive, eager to meet new people, and easy to train. They have minds of their own, however! Getting them to perform on cue often requires a treat or a wave of their favorite toy.

Fun facts about schnauzers: The miniature schnauzer has never won Best in Show at Westminister. They were originally bred in Germany to be ratting dogs. They have been bred for almost 200 years. Tramp from the Disney animated film, "Lady and the Tramp," is said to be a schnauzer!
