FOREWORD
K9 EXPERT EDUCATION
Woo-woo, woo-woo! In Miniature Schnauzer talk that means so happy you like me and want me to join your family. And if youre considering getting one of these cuties, its best to think of it just that way.
The Miniature Schnauzer wants to be part of the family and will do his best to add a new loving element to yours.
Although most Miniature Schnauzers look quite similar whether solid black, salt and pepper, or black and silver their temperaments can vary dramatically. If you have an energetic, very terrier-like dog, thats perfectly normal. But if your little schnauzer is just the sweetest, calmest thing ever, hes absolutely OK, too. Thats one of the charms of this breed.
Because Minis didnt go to ground, meaning tunnel into rodents holes, theyre not typically diggers. Thats good news for any dog owner. And because their terrier ties arent as strong as other breeds in this feisty group, Minis often tend toward herding and other working dog behaviors. These traits can make them great family dogs.

Regardless of temperament, your new pal wants to make you happy. With positive training, hell learn to follow your households rules and be a wonderful companion for many years to come.
Even with all that excellent training, be certain you always, always, always keep your Mini on a leash or in a securely fenced area. He will be so in tune with the world around him, curious about every scent and sound, that given the chance, hell dash off to check them out. To guarantee his safety, keep him restrained at all times.
Hell be a happier pet, though, if he can get some exercise in safe off-leash venues. Want to try a dog sport? Youve got the right breed. Agility, competitive obedience and flyball can be fun, as well as provide good exercise for your Miniature Schnauzer. Just remember that all of these activities must be within an enclosure or building. That way, he can safely enjoy any activity you want to do with him. For the super-active Minis, sports put all that energy to good use.
Youll need to decide if you want to keep your dogs fabulous wiry coat learning to strip it yourself or paying a groomer to do it or let it go a little softer with more typical care. Similarly, the classic trim of his beard, mustache and bushy eyebrows can be maintained by a professional or by you if youre up to it. Either way, dont let his coat fool you, this breed takes a lot of grooming.
But fear not. When you walk your dapper little fellow down the street to the admiring glances, and oohs and aahs of passersby, all your training and coat care will be worthwhile. And your new canine friend will be very proud and happy that you invited him

CHAPTER 1
MINI SIDES TO A SCHNAUZER

Its a fact that most Miniature Schnauzers have outsized personalities, but that doesnt mean that those personalities are identical. In fact, according to Rich Edwards, who is the vice president of the Mount Vernon Miniature Schnauzer Club, the case is quite the opposite. Edwards, who lives in Laytonsville, Md., says that of the eight Miniature Schnauzers hes lived with, each had or has a different personality.
Zachary, our first, was the happiest dog wed ever met, he says. He considered everyone, young and old, his friend. Dallas wants little attention and can be an independent and stubborn little cuss. He once lifted his leg on his handler in the show ring during competition. Travis, on the other hand, will go happily into the show ring with anyone willing to hold his lead, and at home, he will sit in your lap for hours.
And Roubi is a sweet, loving dog without the licking. When Roubi was shown she would at times announce her presence in the ring with a single bark. And she has been known to put her front paws on a judges leg and look up at the person as if to say thank you for the ribbon!

Most Mini pups are born black.
Salt and peppers will usually have some tan or fawn shadings with light spots over the eyes. Black and silvers also have these
facial spots but solid blacks exhibit no such color variations.
Despite such personality differences, however, Miniature Schnauzers do have some traits in common.
This bred loves attention. Edwardss Dallas notwithstanding, most breeders agree that Miniature Schnauzers lap up any and all attention from their people. They will go out of their way to get it, says Mini owner Judy Sousa from Saratoga, Calif. I like placing my puppies with families that have children, because I know that with kids, the puppy is more likely to get the attention he wants.
They sound the alarm. Most Miniature Schnauzers appear to believe that they have a sacred duty to tell their people about any and all possible intrusions onto their home territory generally by barking. They make excellent watchdogs, says Evelyn Hoover, breeder referral and rescue coordinator for the Lone Star Miniature Schnauzer Club of Dallas, Texas. Mine lets me know when the postman is a block up the street.
They want to connect. What I love about Miniature Schnauzers is that they really, really want to please you, says Marge Moenter, former president of the Chicago Miniature Schnauzer Club. The eye contact with a Mini Schnauzer is so special, and Ive not had that with other breeds.
