They have the typical 'moustache' and bushy eyebrows which makes them look so grumpy although they are far from it! Learn more about this friendly breed of terrier in this category.

Can a German shepherd get along with a miniature schnauzer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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 smaller dogs, and even other pets (yes, even cats. My Schnauzer Buddy loves Kitty Kitty!!)!!!!

What is the treatment for schnauzer comedo syndrome?

User Avatar

Asked by Sydneyta

The following info is copied from the web address: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=2+1592&aid=476

Although other breeds may be involved, this condition is typically seen in Miniature Schnauzers, suggesting a genetic predisposition. Although not life threatening, this condition affects the appearance and smell of the animal.

Generally the area along the spine is the most affected. Raised, black, crusty bumps will develop all along the back area. These may reach the size of up to one inch in diameter. Patchy hair loss will be evident and the skin may become thickened and red. In some dogs, the skin takes on an oily nature with a strong odor.

Treatment is aimed at managing the condition. Comedo syndrome usually persists in varying degrees for the life of the pet. Medicated shampoos such as benzoyl peroxide work well and should be used on a regular basis, often at least weekly. If a secondary bacterial infection develops, antibiotics may be given. Although not usually curable, the condition can be successfully managed.

From a related site:

Description:

Comedones (black heads) on back, mild itching; may see secondary infection, thinning of hair; small crusts may develop

Treatment:

Long-term antiseborrheic shampoos; sometimes antibiotics and retinoids

How old should a mini schnauzer be to breed?

Asked by Wiki User

Our vet says no puppy should be walked on the street before he has received all of his vaccinations. This means no walks before four months old and having received the rabies shot. Many dog owners do not follow this recommendation.

Do giant schnauzer dogs shed hair?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, schnauzers do not shed. They need to be groomed regularly however - because they don't lose their hair, they need to be trimmed to keep them looking neat & tidy! If their hair is not trimmed, it will simply continue to grow. Schnauzers make great indoor dogs because they won't leave hair around your house, but remember, because they don't shed like some other dogs, they don't lose their dirty & soiled hair. As a result, they will need to be bathed in order to keep them smelling fresh! Do not bathe them frequently, just about once a month.

How long does a miniature schnauzer stay with its mother?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

At least 8 weeks. Some people thing that when the mother dog weans the pups off of her milk and onto solid food, they are ready to leave. Not True!

In the remaining weeks, the mother dog teaches the pups a lot about behavior, the most important being bite control and other sociability issues.

Are Miniature Schnauzers good family pets?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, Giant Schnauzers can be good with kids (if trained properly). Schnauzers love families, so Giant Schnauzers are naturals with kids.

Giant schnauzers are also very energetic and can accidentally knock small children down when they get the rips and start running with great speed. Giants are best gotten as puppies to be raised with children. That said, they require quite a bit of training. Some have high herding drives and will try to herd children. They do this by nipping but they are only doing what they were bred to do and not being mean. Again they must be trained. Also an adult in the house must be alpha and understand the concept. The alpha person must be firm but gentle. If there is not an alpha in the house hold, the giant will take over and run the house. Do lots of research about giant schnauzers before getting one. Join groups to discuss the breed and meet several if at all possible. They are magnificent dogs but they are not for everyone.

Can schnauzer puppy's be born solid white?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Absolutely, we have one! Also, AKC does now recognize the solid white schnauzer! On the paper provided to register the pups, solid white is not listed, but all you have to do is provide a picture and write in *white* among the choices. The white schnauzer is not shown though, if that was your goal.

How much do you feed standard schnauzers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

From my experience with standard schnauzers, you give grown ups about a cup of dry dog food 2 times a day. From the time they come home to you (or the time they are born, newborn - 2 months) feed them 1/2 cup 3 times a day. Hope this helps! :)

How much does a mini schnauzer eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Probably around 1-2 cups of dog food. If they are hungrier than usual or just plain old hungry, they may want 3 cups. To keep them from gaining alot of weight, make sure you split that into two portions to feed them twice a day.

How much does a giant schnauzer cost?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sorry, there is no such thing as a toy Schnauzer, unless you're looking at a plush toy. Schnauzers come in three sizes - Miniature, Standard, and Giant. Toyish characteristics - round head, short muzzle, bug eyes - are extreme faults in Schnauzers and no one respecting the quality and history of the Schnauzer would breed for them.

Why do testicles drop?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The best temperature for growing sperm is a little COOLER than body temperature. That's why the scrotum and testicles hang (unprotected!) outside the body. So if you wear tight pants and lots of warm trousers you won't have as many sperm as a Scot who wears nothing under his kilt.
The testicles drop into the scrotum because the body is too warm to make sperm optimally. The scrotum allows the body to regulate the temperature of the testicles a few degrees below that of the body temperature.
In Puberty and beyond :

They drop away from the body to be at the right temperature. The sperm needs to be at the correct temperature to stay healthy.

In Babies :

They descend into the scrotum shortly after birth (Balls drop) not at Puberty as many believe. If they have not visibly dropped into the scrotum by several months after birth then a visit to the doctor is advisable to make sure all is ok with the childs health.

Are miniature schnauzers good dogs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A miniature schnauzer is like a standard schnauzer, but smaller. They tend to have less grooming issues since they are smaller. They don't stand but about 12-16 inches tall and weigh between 10-20 pounds. They don't shed, and love to be cuddled. They think they are lap dogs :) They love both the outside and inside....and baths too!!
