The Ultimate Schnauzer (Miniature) Guide

About Schnauzer (Miniature)

Originally bred to be a ratter and all-around farm dog, the Miniature Schnauzer is robust, tough, and fearless but never aggressive. While it resembles the Giant and Standard Schnauzers, it stands as a distinct breed of its own.

Bred worldwide, the Mini Schnauzer has consistently ranked in the top 20 favourite breeds in Germany, the United States, and England.

Lifespan

Lifespan

12 to 14 years

Weight

Weight

Five to nine kilograms

Height

Grooming

Needs to be clipped every five to eight weeks.

Origins

The first known Miniature Schnauzer was Findel, a black dog born in October 1888. Although records of its development are sparse, it is believed that the aim was to create a smaller version of the Standard Schnauzer.

In 1924, four Mini Schnauzers arrived in the United States. Two years later, the American Kennel Club recognised the breed.

 

Key Characteristics Of Schnauzer (Miniature)s

Are Schnauzer (Miniature)s Family-Friendly?

Absolutely, they are. Miniature Schnauzers, known for their intelligence, fun-loving nature, and affection, make wonderful pets for active families. They get along well with kids and other dogs.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Schnauzer (Miniature)s may suffer from:

Myotonia congenita

A hereditary condition characterised by delayed muscle relaxation, causing stiffness and abnormal gait

Entropion

A condition where the eyelid rolls inward, causing the eyelashes and skin to irritate the surface of the eye.

Progressive retinal atrophy

Von Willebrand’s disease

A genetic bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency of a protein essential for blood clotting.

Cataracts

Urinary stones

Congenital megaesophagus

A developmental condition where the esophagus is enlarged and lacks muscle tone, leading to difficulties in swallowing and regurgitation of food.

Nature / Temperament

Intelligent, friendly, obedient, alert, and fearless.

Suitable Environment

The Miniature Schnauzer adapts easily to any environment, whether city or countryside. Its small size makes it suitable for apartments, while its energy suits larger homes or farms.

Other Considerations

  • Due to its fearless nature, the Mini Schnauzer may sometimes provoke larger dogs, unaware of its own size, which can lead to trouble.
  • This breed is protective of its family, making it an excellent watchdog. However, its bark can be piercing.
  • Despite its small size, the Mini Schnauzer is not delicate like a toy breed. They are sturdy pooches and can be surprisingly heavy and big-boned. 

Average cost of a Schnauzer (Miniature)

Mini Schnauzers for sale typically range between $2500 and $4000 AUD.

How can I take good care of my Schnauzer (Miniature)?

Nutrition

The Miniature Schnauzer thrives on high-quality dog food, whether homemade or commercially prepared. The recommended daily amount is ½ to 1 cup of dry food, divided into two meals.

Ensure clean, fresh water is available at all times. Like many other breeds, this dog tends to gain weight quickly if improperly fed. Monitor its calorie intake and weight closely.

Treats can be given during training but in moderation.

Grooming

The Miniature Schnauzer’s coat grows quickly, so clipping is recommended every five to eight weeks. Without regular clipping, the dog will develop a shaggy appearance. Brush its hair twice or thrice a week to remove knots.

The typical cut for this breed is short on the head and body, and longer on the muzzle, belly, and feet. Some owners find this look challenging to perfect on their own and opt for professional grooming.

When grooming, always check for signs of infection and inflammation, such as redness, sores, and rashes.

Exercise

Being a Terrier, the Miniature Schnauzer is naturally active. It requires daily exercise to maintain its physical and mental health.

Inside your home, let it follow you around or play with toys. If you have a fenced yard, allow it to run around or chase balls.

If you lack a yard, a daily long walk in the park is sufficient.

Training

Training a Mini Schnauzer is relatively easy due to its intelligence, eagerness to please, and obedience. Keep training sessions fun and engaging to avoid boredom and stubbornness.

This breed excels in many canine sports, including obedience, rally, agility, Earthdog events, and activities that involve jumping.

This is general information and should not be relied upon for adopting or purchasing advice. Consult an expert for more detailed information about the breed’s care and requirements.

Most Asked Schnauzer (Miniature) Questions

The Mini Schnauzer has a squarish head, bushy beard, boxy body, and ears that naturally fold to the sides of its face.

It has a double-coated and wiry coat that comes in a variety of colours such as salt and pepper, black, white, and back and silver.

The undercoat of the Mini Schnauzer catches loose hair, which makes this dog a low-shedder.

If you want to bring home a happy and healthy dog, it is recommended to never buy from a puppy mill, pet store, or backyard breeder.

Always adopt from a responsible breeder to make sure your canine has a sound temperament and is free of genetic diseases.

A Mini Schnauzer for sale typically costs between AUD $5,000 and $8,000.
