Standard Schnauzer
Next Breed: Stephens Cur
Previous Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier
For many people, the Schnauzer is considered the perfect family pet. Available in three different sizes, the schnauzer is a tough and hardy companion as well as protector. With their classic beard and long eyebrows, this breed is easily recognizable all over the world.
History
The Schnauzer hails from Germany and is divided into the Miniature Schnauzer, standard Shnauzer and Giant Schnauzer. Of the three sizes of schnauzer, the standard is considered the prototype and is the oldest. Even though these schnauzers may appear similar, they are all considered separate breeds. All Schnauzers are thought to have developed in the kingdoms of Wurttemberg and Bavaria, and the Standard Schnauzer has been around since at least 1492. Paintings of that era depict the schnauzer as a household companion. The dog was not only part of the family but was also used to chase rats and guard produce carts in the marketplace. Today, Standard Schnauzers are beloved family pets. The Standard Schnauzer belongs to the working group of the American Kennel Club.
Appearance and Size
The Schnauzer is a compact sturdy dog. All sizes have a stiff wiry hair coat with arched bristling eyebrows, whiskers and a beard. The most common coat color is salt and pepper but black is also available. In Germany, black is the more common color. Most Schnauzers in Germany have cropped ears but in the United States, cropped and uncropped are seen. Uncropped ears sit high on the head and fold forward. The Standard Schnauzer stands 17 to 19 inches at the shoulder and weighs around 33 pounds.
Personality
All Schnauzers are intelligent and reliable dogs. They are very protective of their family and make good watchdogs.

My Havanese Playing with a Standard Schnauzer
My huge Havanese is feisty! That's his play growl you hear. Are other Havanese the same?? The gorgeous Standard Schnauzer was saved from a high kill shelter and is in a foster home. He is 4 years old, neutered, up to date on shots, microchipped, and ready for a HOME. Contact me if interested. He is in Monterey, California, but transportation can be arranged.
