Size: The Miniature Schnauzer has a shoulder height of 15 inches or less and weighs 10-15 lbs. The Schnauzer has a long, rectangular head with small, deep eyes and highly set ears which may be cropped. Schnauzers have a flat back, highly set, erect tail, and small, round ‘cat feet’.
Coat: The Miniature Schnauzer has a soft, thick undercoat and a rugged, wiry outer coat which is white, solid black or salt-and-pepper colored. The coat is longer on the chin and face, forming eyebrows and a beard.
Character: The Miniature Schnauzer is even-tempered and an eager, intelligent learner. It is brave and fun, making an excellent companion. Schnauzers are loyal, protective, and alert, but do not make good guard dogs due to their size.
Temperament: The Miniature Schnauzer gets along great with familiar children, dogs, and other pets, but it is wary and cautious with people and animals it does not know. Schnauzers are best behaved when given sufficient exercise and human companionship.
Care: The Miniature Schnauzer requires weekly combing. Typically, pet Schnauzers are clipped and show dogs are stripped. Schnauzers can live outdoors in moderate or warm areas, but prefer to live indoors with plenty of playtime outdoors. Schnauzers are prone to diabetes and pancreatitis. They should not be fed sweet foods, and should not be overfed to avoid obesity. Schnauzers have a long life span of 13-15 years or more.
Training: Though the Miniature Schnauzer learns fast, it has a slight stubborn streak. Training must be fair and consistent and should not be overly repetitious. Schnauzers are responsive to the sound of their handler's voice. They are versatile, and can learn a variety of activities such as hunting, retrieving, and herding.
Activity: The Miniature Schnauzer has energy far exceeding its size and enjoys going for runs or playing games in the yard. It is well suited for apartment life.
