The Miniature Schnauzer
The Miniature Schnauzer is very perky, bright-eyed, loving, intelligent, energetic, affectionate,
and obedient. They are also playful, happy and alert, they also love children if brought up around them. The Miniature
Schnauzer demands time and companionship from its owner. If not socialized from a puppy it can be feisty and fairly dog-aggressive
- putting on a show of superiority without necessarily intending to fight. This can be fairly dangerous for the Miniature
Schnauzer, who will challenge even large dogs, sometimes bringing more trouble on himself than he really wanted. Socialize
this breed well with other dogs when it is still a puppy. If properly introduced, the Miniature Schnauzer will get along with
another dog, but will not accept every dog that comes its way. Since the temperament of this breed can be quite variable,
select a puppy from parents whose temperament you enjoy. They make good companions and family pets. Schnauzers tend to
bark a lot, but it is not a yappy bark and is not as annoying as one may think. Most of the time the dog's bark sounds
like it is talking to you in a low carried-out voice. The Miniature Schnauzer makes a good guard dog and mouse catcher.
They are excellent travel companions. Some can be reserved with strangers, but most love everyone.
