If a miniature schnauzer gets pregnant by a golden retriever?
Yes all dogs can breed with each other. The puppies may look ugly but all dogs can breed with dogs that aren't the same breed.
Why do mini schnauzers have a beard?
It is the way they're groomed. And mostly, their hair just grows that way, you can't stop if from growing that way. Also, it looks better than scraggly.
Actually, Minature schnauzers were originally bred to keep mice away. The beard made it so if the mice attacked the dogs neck, it would get a mouthful of beard fur rather than doing damage to the neck of the schnauzer. It is like a safety thing for them.
A Schnauzer (plural Schnauzers) is a German dog type that originated in Germany in the 15th and 16th centuries. The term comes from Schnauze , the German word for "snout", because of the dog's distinctively bearded snout. The word Schnauzeralso means moustache in German;
The schnauzer was used as a "ratter" to catch vermin and used by farmers to protect their harvest. The main reason they have a beard is for protection of their face. This beard wasn't always like we see it today, nice, soft, and (most of the time) clean; it was hardened with dirt, mud, debris, etc… which formed a type of "armor" against the vermin's teeth and/or claws the schnauzer was attacking.
This is a trait that was bred into them by crossing breads; they may be most closely related to German Pinschers, and the spitz-type breeds.
Is it safe for dogs to eat peppers?

Are there different sized schnauzers?
No. Giant Schnauzers and Miniature Schnauzers are not the same breed. Giant Schnauzers and Miniature Schnauzers have a common ancestry in that both breeds were "bred-up" and bred-down" from the standard schnauzer. The Miniature Schnauzer was "bred-down" by breeding terriers with the larger Standard Schnauzer. The Miniature Schnauzer is a terrier breed. The Giant Schnauzer is the result of breeding larger breeds, e.g. the Bouvier des Flandres and the Great Dane, with the Standard Schnauzer. The Giant Schnauzer is a Working Dog breed. Other than appearance, the Schnauzer name and their common ancestor, which seems like a lot, the Miniature Schnauzer and Giant Schnauzer share little else.

Pictures of a miniature schnauzer mixed with a blue heeler as an adult?
I have a miniature schnauzer blue heeler mix. He is the most awesome dog in the world! He's over a year old, I got him Valentine's Day 2010 when he was 8 weeks old. He has been such a joy. He's a very fast learner, very affectionate, loves everyone that he meets, and was pretty easy to train since he is so willing to please. He was from a litter of 5, he is the only one that shows traits from both breeds, both physically and personality wise. I couldn't figure out how to add a picture on here but I could possibly e-mail one to you. He's really cute and he's a full grown adult.
