Can you breed a miniature schnauzer with a giant schnauzer And of so what would the schnauzer be considered?
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.

Whch is faster labrador or miniature schnauzer?
It all depends on the size, but mainly a lab would be faster, but a schnauzer is more rambunctious.... and maneuverable, so he has advantage in the corners.
What dogs are related to schnauzers?
All three Schnauzer breeds (Miniature, Standard and Giant) are related to the German Pinscher. The German Pinscher is the ancestor of the Miniature Pinscher and both the Miniature Schnauzer and the Standard Schnauzer are essentially wire-hair versions of the Miniature and German Pinschers. The Doberman came after all the other Pinschers and Schnauzers and while some German Pinscher blood was used to create the breed so were many other breeds such as the Weimaraner, Rottweiler, possibly the Great Dane (which is a German breed) and possibly the Greyhound and other breeds and mutts as well. The Giant Schnauzer was created by crossing Standard Schnauzers, German Poodles, Bouvier des Flanders, Great Danes and various rough coated sheep dogs and drover dogs. The German Pinscher and the Standard Schnauzer are the oldest, with artwork as late as the 1400's depicting German dogs that had similar looks to these 2 breeds. Both the German Pinscher and Standard Schnauzer, along with the Miniature Pinscher and Miniature Schnauzer became official breeds in the late 1800's. In developing the Standard Schnauzer (and subsequintly the Miniature Schnauzer) from the German Pincher the German Poodle was probably used too.
Is 20 lbs to much for a miniature schnauzer to weigh?
No. This weight is perfectly normal for a miniature schnauzer. If your schnauzer gets overweight, take him/her for a run or a walk daily and only give him/her treats or "cookies" when they "do their jobs" outside. Only feed them at about 8:00 in the morning and at 6:30 in the evening. They can gain weight easily, so make sure they don't get excessive amounts of treats. Nope. . . . This is the weighs the adult Minature Schnauzer weighs. . I have a Minature Schnauzer and she is 17 pounds and she is only 1 1/2 years old so yeah this is a good weight for the Minature Schnauzer . . :-)
How long can miniature schnauzer's live?
Mine lived for 12 years then had a kidney disease and we had to put her down. So, maybe 15 years or so?
How big is Miniature Schnauzer?
They are about 8-13 inches in height and 10-16 pounds, unless under or over weight This is an incorrect answer. According to the breed standard, Miniature Schnauzers are 12 - 14 inches, anything under or over are faults. There is no such thing as a "toy" Schnauzer.

How do you make miniature version of a large breed dog?
To make a miniature version of a large breed dog will take years to do. You just breed the runt of the litter with another runt of the litter and continue to do so with other runts. And even then it may not work.
Do standard schnauzers molt?
No. Schnauzers do not shed their fur. A schnauzer can sit on your lap while you are wearing a tuxedo or a wedding gown and afterwards you will not fine a single one of his hairs stuck to your clothing. A schnauzer can sit on your couch all day long everyday for a year and you will not find one dog hair on your couch. Our schnauzer's beds don't have any dog hairs in them. The flip side of this is that schnauzers have to be groomed every 3 weeks or so. They should get a "schnauzer cut" which is a specific way of cutting his hair to give him a buzzed back, fluffy legs, long beard, feathery eyebrows and a "skirt" around his underbelly. Frequent grooming can be expensive, but you can learn to groom your schnauzer yourself by studying YouTube videos and investing in the proper equipment.
Why does you dog sit on you?

How do you care for your minture snouzer?
I would suggest keeping your miniature schnauzer on a dry dog biscuit diet mainly due to the fact this will prevent tooth loss later in life. Some canned food with the biscuit should be alright as long as your dog is fed mainly biscuit and the wet food is limited somewhat. If a dog is kept on a diet of canned dog food all its life, the teeth has no use and so eventually will fall out and the gums will become sore. I would suggest suplimenting your schnauzer with possibly a chicken wing occasionally instead of a rawhide chew as there are a number of chemicals used in producing the rawhide chews. If you do feed chicken wings, i would suggest cutting the wing up into three pieces as my miniature schnauzer will not eat a whole one and only eats it in pieces since they're easier to chew. Large amounts of fat in your miniature schnauzer should be avoided as it will end up leading your dog to be overweigh and numerous health problems later on. Sugar in the diet should be non-existant due to the fact too much will result in your schnauzer developing diabetes. A miniature schnauzer needs plenty of grooming so a daily brush is important, especially with the beard and eyebrows. Make sure you brush all the knots out of its fur to prevent tangles emurging. You will need to see a groomer every three months to keep your schnauzer in good condition. Schnauzers need about 45 minutes exersise per day but possibly will let you off with a shorter walk each day or a missed day if you need to. I would suggest about 30 minutes exersise per day at least because schnauzers are very energetic dogs and need a way to let out their excess energy.
