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.
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.

Why does your miniature schnauzer walk in circles?
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.

No it's very legal there isn't a law against it or anything. But people dock the tail so that can enter their Schnauzers in dog show and such. I think it should be illegal because how would someone like it if someone cut of part of their leg or something?
