Studding ANY dog should be a very careful choice.People have a misconception that any 2 dogs can make ''great puppies''.The truth is, many dogs carry hidden flaws in their genes that can,when mixed with dogs that may have the same hidden flaws or mutation cause major health and temperment issues. Im not going to get into breeding 'ethics', as this is an age question.
The best age to stud/breed a male mini schnauser sized dog is 16 to 18 MONTHS.The testicles of this sized breed,are fully functional at 8 months of age.Though conception of a female in season can be under 5 months of age,if she is bred to a very virile male or an 'early bloomer'. Younger dogs at like 5-8 months of age, have less mature spermatozoa than older males,say 16 moths old.Mature sperm make better puppies.Underdeveloped sperm have a hard time reaching and fertilizing the eggs,and are not fully able to replicate the DNA within them,as well as the mature sperm.
Also mental maturity at under a year is still developing.An older male,might ''catch on'' quicker than a 5 month old.Some females won't tolerate being a learner bitch,and become frustrated. This can result in ''rejection'' of the male.These rejections can end up in a physical altercation.Males exposed to testosterone,have higher mating drives,that asist in proper copulation.Please note that a bitch can and will attack a male when she is not ready to receive him (bitch will only receive a male in full 'standing' heat).
I hope this helps you out.

How much should a three month old calf weigh?
This all depends on the breed. Three-month-old calves of different breeding will weigh more or less than the other. For instance, a Charolais calf will weigh more than a Jersey calf, or a miniature Angus calf will weigh less than an Angus calf (one that is normal in size and proportion).
What is a girl horse?
The overall term for a female horse is a mare but if this horse/pony is very young its refered to as a filly or a foal. A male horse/pony is a stallion and when its young a foal however, when it is 2 years old or younger it might be called a stud. I'm not sure about the age limit of a stud but I'm sure I'm close!

A full grown miniature schnauzer should weigh between 14 and 20 pounds. Perhaps your dog is a standard schnauzer, not a miniature. Miniatures should grow to be about a foot tall; standards, about a foot and a half. Is your puppy real tall or just overweight?

What if your toy schnauzer weighs 8 pounds at 4 months how much bigger will he get?
There really isn't such thing as a "toy" schnauzer. They are just really small miniature Schnauzers. If they are 6 months old and weighs 6 pounds, she will gain weight. The only thing that will stop growing is her height. She should stop growing height wise around 1 year of age. She will always gain or lose weight. By full grown, she should weigh at least 10 pounds.

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. . . .
