Miniature Schnauzer
Friendly. smart. Yours.
Nobody warns you that a Miniature Schnauzer will become the self-appointed manager of your entire household. Every delivery driver, every squirrel, every suspicious leaf blowing across the yard, reported, documented, barked at with the urgency of a town crier who takes their job very, very seriously.

The Miniature Schnauzer experience
You know you're a Miniature Schnauzer owner when...
●The alert bark, that sharp, surprisingly loud announcement that someone has dared to exist within 200 feet of your property.
●The beard dipping into the water bowl and then the casual chin-wipe on your pants, your couch, or your guest's lap.
●That signature Schnauzer stare, eyebrows up, head tilted, judging your life choices with the intensity of a tiny bearded professor.
●The prancing walk. Not trotting, not running, prancing, like a small horse who knows they look fantastic.
●Selective hearing that borders on performance art. They heard 'treat' whispered from two rooms away but somehow missed 'come' at full volume.
