It is the way they're groomed. And mostly, their hair just grows that way, you can't stop if from growing that way. Also, it looks better than scraggly.
Actually, Minature schnauzers were originally bred to keep mice away. The beard made it so if the mice attacked the dogs neck, it would get a mouthful of beard fur rather than doing damage to the neck of the schnauzer. It is like a safety thing for them.
A Schnauzer (plural Schnauzers) is a German dog type that originated in Germany in the 15th and 16th centuries. The term comes from Schnauze , the German word for "snout", because of the dog's distinctively bearded snout. The word Schnauzeralso means moustache in German;
The schnauzer was used as a "ratter" to catch vermin and used by farmers to protect their harvest. The main reason they have a beard is for protection of their face. This beard wasn't always like we see it today, nice, soft, and (most of the time) clean; it was hardened with dirt, mud, debris, etc… which formed a type of "armor" against the vermin's teeth and/or claws the schnauzer was attacking.
This is a trait that was bred into them by crossing breads; they may be most closely related to German Pinschers, and the spitz-type breeds.
Miniature Schnauzers have ugly hair cuts because back then in Germany they would cut the hair so ugly they thought the hair cut looked so GOOD!
I disagree with both of you, they have adorable haircuts and look like
oversized Chihuahuas :D
It was a style thing to dock their tails, and it's also good for the health of their backsides. Parasites tend to grow under tails and docking them keeps them in the air. It's illegal to dock tails of dogs now so any Schnauzers under the age of two or three will have long tails.
There not all brown, in fact I have a dog, its a miniature mechanized and Romans a GRAY beard, so its just how they were born like how our hair colors different.
Poodles and Schnauzers are highly intelligent breeds, but a poodle is second only to the Border Collie. Miniature Schnauzers rank 12th.
giant schnauzers are the best but if you want a lap dog get a mini
The Min Pin belongs to the Toy group. He is commonly known as the "King of the Toys"
The breed in itself isn't that ugly but it's just the beard on their face and eyes that always makes them seem grumpy and unhappy
They grow from birth to about one year of age. After that they only gain or lose weight.
They were created in the 1400`s, their breed is around the 20`s for the world`s smartest breed, there is three type of schnauzers the miniature, normal, and giant schnauzers (the most popular out of all of them is the miniature schnauzer.) They have a beard that was and still is the famous miniature schnauzer beard. IF YOU NEED MORE FACTS PLEASE ASK MORE QUESTIONS!!!:) FROM, PENA135! PLEASE CONTACT ME!

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.
