ALL ABOUT MINIATURE SCHNAUZERS
Everything you need to know about this wonderful breed!
While searching the web for the talking points and information I wanted to put in this section, I came across this amazing page that really went into depth and covered just about everything that could be covered regarding the miniature schnauzer. So, I went ahead and did a copy and paste of a section of that article that highlighted some of the more important info, but I included the link below for anyone who wants more details and specific info. If deciding whether or not the miniature schnauzer is the breed for you, this article should help you decide or help you prepare yourself for owning one. The article does mention hand-stripping when it talks about grooming a schnauzer, but that is hardly ever done anymore and not necessary unless you plan on showing your dog in competitions. It’s hard to find a groomer who will even do it.
