Yes people like Bruce Lee, Bill Cosby, Bob Dole, and Mary Tyler Moore each owned miniature schnauzers.
Schnauzers are a very popular breed of dogs. The dogs can eat any type of food as others dogs do. Each dog will have their own preference.
If they are introduced properly (as in not thrown in a cage together, but letting them sniff each other and play around a little bit) they should get along great with smaller dogs, and even other pets (yes, even cats. My Schnauzer Buddy loves Kitty Kitty!!)!!!!
They will travel with any companion, but yes, they will travel with their own kind too.
Yes, 46% of Americans have owned or now own a schnauzer in the past 3 years. no
$10,000.
Well obviously a miniature dachshund is smaller than a regular sized dachsund. I own a three year own longhaired miniature dachshund and she is considerably smaller than a standard sized, but they are not actually very different other than size. They are still what I would consider a small dog trapped in a big dog's body. (: ~ shaybabay
Yes, Giant Schnauzers can be good with kids (if trained properly). Schnauzers love families, so Giant Schnauzers are naturals with kids. Giant schnauzers are also very energetic and can accidentally knock small children down when they get the rips and start running with great speed. Giants are best gotten as puppies to be raised with children. That said, they require quite a bit of training. Some have high herding drives and will try to herd children. They do this by nipping but they are only doing what they were bred to do and not being mean. Again they must be trained. Also an adult in the house must be alpha and understand the concept. The alpha person must be firm but gentle. If there is not an alpha in the house hold, the giant will take over and run the house. Do lots of research about giant schnauzers before getting one. Join groups to discuss the breed and meet several if at all possible. They are magnificent dogs but they are not for everyone.
They simply find things to do, eat, and hunt like wild dogs. They also dig out their own shelter.
Schnottie, I own one.
