Miniature Schnauzer Characteristics
Initially bred as ratting dogs the Miniature Schnauzers have a hunter’s spirit.
They have small stature and easily recognisable, iconic appearance: square-body with wiry coats. They are vigilant watchdogs with a ready bark.
Miniature Schnautzers are playful, cheerful and sociable that love to be with their people and are eager to please. Generally, they get on well with children and other pets in households if they are introduced at an early age.
They are also known for being obedient and adaptable. They can be just as happy living in both country and city environments.
This breed is intelligent, highly energetic, that thrive on constant mental stimulation and easy to train. To keep Mini Schnauzers healthy and happy, they need regular, daily exercise.
Their coat comes in different colour variations, including salt and pepper, black, and black and silver.
