Best Answer

Our miniature schnauzer used to walk in circles (on the leash) and this later turned out to by a symptom of blindness. A quick way to determine whether your schnauzer is blind is something called the "menace test." Crinkle up some newspaper into a ball and thoss it lightly directly at your dog's face. If he does not react to it before he is struck, then he may be visually impaired. PLEASE, never throw anything at your dog that might cause him injury. Use only a small amount of newspaper that will not harm the dog.

There is an alternative answer to this question and that is if a dog wants to get away and is teathered on a leash, the only way for him to continue running non-stop is to "orbit" around the dog walker.

What happens if a miniature schnauzer bites a rat?

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.
