What do German shepherd dogs look like?
Schnauzers tend to be perky, loving, intelligent, energetic, affectionate, obedient, playful, happy and alert (like kids).
They enjoy time and companionship from their master. Without proper leadership they can be feisty and act aggressive without intending to fight (this is very bad because bigger dogs might think it is a challenge which may bring trouble to your dog). They are very well socialized when loved. If they are introduced properly (as in not thrown in a cage together, but letting them sniff each other and play around a little bit) they should get along great with other pets (yes, even cats).
They tend to bark a lot, but its not a yappy bark. They are awesome guard dogs, and great mouse catchers!!! Some may not like strangers the first time, but will love them the next visit. Too much affection, however, may lead this dog to think he is the pack leader of humans too, which is not good. That can lead to excessive barking and stubbornness. Other than that, they are overall very loyal dogs. Get one and you will have a companionship better than anything.
