We have Allergies in our family and still wanted a dog. We got a Schnoodle which is a cross between a schnauzer and a poodle. We have had no allergy problems whatsoever and she does not shed AT ALL. The reason they do not shed is because you are crossing two genes of non shedding dogs Usually you can mix a non shedding dad and shedding mom and the pups wont shed because the dad is dominant.
a miniature schnauzer is the only "breed" of miniature schnauzers. you have your giant schnauzers and there are yet to be toy schnauzers which would be smaller than miniatures.
Miniature Schnauzers weigh from 6 - 7 kg.
Yes, they are good for people with allergies, but sometimes the dog can get dandruff, so give schnauzers a bath every now and then!
Miniature schnauzers can have apples, but in small pieces so they cannot choke on it.
sad
Miniature schnauzers are loyal and protective, but need attention. All miniature schnauzers are different. Some may be quieter than others, that mainly depends on their environment and how they are taken care of. Miniature schnauzer should be walked at least 30 minutes each day. Miniature schnauzers are highly intelligent dogs, but may bark when they are alone for a long time. (separation anxiety) Some miniature schnauzers are quiet and don't bark when they are alone for long periods of time. Miniature schnauzers can be stubborn sometimes. They need a lot of love and attention. Miniature schnauzers are very sweet dogs that are willing to please. With the right amount of exercise, love, and care, miniature schnauzers are awesome sogs. :P :]
There are many places online to find information about miniature schnauzers. Try websites like Wikipedia, dogbreedinfo, and the Miniature Schnauzer Club of Canada.
