Miniature Schnauzers are rather a healthy. However they may suffer health problems associated with high fat levels. Some problems include but are not limited to hyperlipidemia or pancreatitis. Other schnauzer issues to watch out for are eye problems, Diabetes and bladder stones. Schnauzers are also prone to comedone syndrome, this condition produces pus filled bumps, these usually appear on the back. While these bumps are usually benign it is best that they checked by a vet.
I don't know what you mean by more health problems, but some of the health problems they have/can get are as follows:
Liver Shunts
hypoglycemia
retained teeth
seizure disorders
infection of the hair follicles
hip dysplasia
von Willebrand disease (vWD)
diabetes
kidney stones
skin disorders
but every breed has their own rather long list of health problems, so i wouldn't be too picky about it, they are an excellent breed!
Common health problems for miniature schnauzers are hyperlipidemia, pancreatitis, diabetes, bladder stones, and eye problems. They may also suffere from health problems due to high fat levels, monitoring the type of food and treats fed help here. Miniature schnauzers do have problems with pus filled bumps (comedone syndrome) and are prone to ear infections. Other diseases that have been found in miniature schnauzers are hip dysplaisa and von Willebrand disease (bleeding disorder).
Mini Schnauzers are a very distinguished breed. Therefore can get fat easily and be prone to over weight, which leads to diffuculty of the lungs to process breathing easily. If you tend to over feed your schnauzer Pancreatitis can occur. It is when the dog has high blood serium lipids...(fat) has created a much bigger layer, or in other words obbesity. It can also lead to death. The next one isn't as bad as any other, its called Schnauzer Bumps: When the dog gets such as pimples or black heads on their back or stomach. Dental concerns: Schnauzers are prone to having many dental problems and are recommended to have professional cleaning.
Hypothyroidism: This is very common in any breed. This is when the dogs aren't excersized regularly, (1 hour a day) and can lead to weight gain, depression and hair loss. Hair Knots:If you don't groom regularly the dog can also have high chances of hair knots, remeber if you dont get out knots they can become sorta like dread locks which are very painful to a dog. Therefore it will make the dog pick at it and try to pull it out and maybe leading to bald spots. Urinary Tract Infections - Urolithiasis: This seems to occur in a higher rate for Mini Schnauzers then other breeds. Blood may be represented in the urine. Which is a very serious and malfunctioning topic.
C.J.C. or Congenital Juvenile Cataracts: This is greatly common in these breeds, there are birth effects, this is when the dog is born with blindness, surgery could come in contact, but pricely. Those are the ones i have been conected to and others are expirences, because im a vet and an owner of 2 wonderful schnuazers and 1 in the past. Thank you and hopefully this helped. -Doctor Laura
Yes, the miniature schnauzer is in the AKC Terrier Group
No, there are 3 types of schnauzers. Miniature, Standard, and Giant. They all vary in size.
The Miniature Schnauzer is classified as a terrier while as the Standard Schnauzer and the Giant Schnauzer are classified as working dogs.
Well, first I have to tell you something. Miniature Schnauzers were meant for ratting, or to kill rats. Well obviously the rat will die but your Miniature Schnauzer will be fine. --- As an addendum to the point above, your Miniature Schnauzer may not be fine - rats may be rife with bacteria and disease, which your Schnauzer may not be used to. If your Schnauzer has bit a rat, it may be an idea to discuss it with your vet, as the bacteria could cause your Schnauzer to get sick.

Tramp is a Miniature Schnauzer .

The earliest recorded Miniature Schnauzers were in Germany in the mid to late 1900s, resulting from the cross-breeding of the standard Schnauzer and the poodle.
You could try to breed a giant with a mini but it probably depends on their first impression and if the miniature is intimidated by the giant. Also, prob depends on the gender, and which is which.
