up to ten years i think

I have owned 2 standard schnauzers in my lifetime. Depending on the breeding, and how you take care of them, they can live from 13-15 years.

My first standard schnauzer was from an exceptional bloodline and lasted 15.5 years and only had old age problems the last year and half of his life. He died of old age.

My second standard schnauzer was from a bad breeding, had hip joint problems (genetic), but persevered. The hip joint problem eventually caused knee joint problems (Arthritis), then he developed bone cancer, broke his leg from the weight of his body, and we had to put him down because he was in such pain no pain medicine would help at 9 years old. He died last June and we really miss him.

Hope this answers your question about how long standard schnauzers live - 13-15 years. They are the standard of the breed.
