What To Know About Schnauzer Puppies

By Joyce Butler


Schnauzer is a certain breed of dog that originated from Germany in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The term schnauzer means snout in the German language and it colloquially means moustache. The dog is distinctively bearded on its snout, which is why it is called by that name. The breed lacks the typical terrier temperament, which makes it to be considered a terrier-type dog. Schnauzer puppies can be purchased from any breeder around the world.

Schnauzers consist of three main types of breeds, that is, the giant, standard, and miniature. Miniatures that are of unusually small size are often marketed using terms such as toy and teacup. It should however be understood that toy and teacup are not different breeds of these dogs. Knowing these facts is important to avoid confusing the different breeds of schnauzers.

The size of the modern-day Standard breed is what the original breed was like. The original schnauzers were bred to act as yard and guard dogs. They often were used to catch rats in various places. The miniature breed was reach at after crossbreeding other breeds with the original dog. Among the breeds that were crossbred with the original breed to produce miniatures are poodles and affenpinscher. Other breeds of dogs were used in the process too.

Miniature breeds are the dogs that have a height of 1 feet from the feet to shoulders. Usually, they weigh 6.4 to 9.1 kilograms. Their level of energy and intelligence is very high. The American Kennel Club has specific colors for the miniatures. The colors are silver, pepper, and black. The black color may appear in combination with the silver color in some animals.

The AKC does not recognize canines with coats that are white or have multiple colors as miniatures. Giant and standards breeds are stronger and can live outside compared to miniatures that only live in houses. Miniatures are a very loyal breed. They become friends with everyone around them and rarely show aggression to strangers. However, they bark when they encounter strange animals and people.

Standard schnauzers are about 46 centimeters tall at the shoulders and weigh between 14 and 20 kilograms. They are categorized as working dogs where they are used to guard places. Historically, they have been used during times of war to carry messages and to do police work. Red Cross is one of the organizations that have employed their services in various applications.

Giant schnauzers grow up to a height of 61 centimeters at the shoulders. They weigh between 25 and 36 kilograms and are used as working dogs too. Their development was done in Swabia during the 17 century. Its development involved crossbreeding the standard schnauzers and various breeds including black Great Danes, German Shepherds, Boxers, Thuringian Shepherds, Rottweillers, Dobermans, and Bouvier des Flandres.

Puppies should only be bought from legitimate breeders. Locating a legitimate breeder can be a problem now that there are many illegitimate ones in the industry today. One should seek the advice and company of a veterinarian when going to pick a puppy.
