The Schnauzer Dog Breed: One Name, Three Different Breeds
These Gramps-looking Doggos are none other than
the Schnauzers, named for the unique look of a moustache around their muzzle. Don’t
be fooled by their appearances, their personalities are nothing short of fun
and activeness!
Fun Fact #1 The term Schnauzer was derived from Schnauze
in the German language— meaning moustache. And this is only one reason how the
name of the breed came about!
The Schnauzer Dog Breeds
All three breeds
might have similar features and can very well be easily confused with one
another, one distinct way of telling them apart is their sizes. There are three
sizes and three different Schnauzer breeds. The Giant, Standard, and
finally, the Miniature. Beginning
with the Standard Schnauzer originating from Germany, this breed is thought to
have possibly been around for many centuries, as seen in Renaissance paintings.
Appearance Of The Schnauzer Breeds
The Schnauzer is
split into 3 breeds according to their size. Miniature Schnauzers stand at least 30 centimetres tall, Standard Schnauzers approximately 46
centimetres, and Giant Schnauzers standing
at 61 centimetres tall.
Grooming Requirements Of Schnauzer Breeds
To maintain the breed
standards of a harsh wiry coat exterior, owners may opt to have their Schnauzers
professionally stripped by a trusted
Groomer. Stripping involves removing/plucking
loose hairs by hand. For non-show Dogs, Schnauzer’s coats are usually clipped
by Groomers, keeping the hair on the back of their heads, neck, and backs short.
Hair that has been clipped or shaved often develops into soft coats.
Fun Fact #2 Schnauzers are not heavy shedders, they are
also one of the few Hypoallergenic Dog breeds!
Personality and Behaviour Of Schnauzers
Don’t let their
moustaches fool you, these are spirited and intelligent Doggos that are always
ready to release their energy at a long walk outdoors, and curious enough to be
easily trained. However, their stubborn nature requires owners to establish a
clear leadership role from young, and socializing at a young age allows them to
be more obedient and adaptive to new sights, smells and sounds.

Coupled with
proper training through positive reinforcements, and lots of love, Schnauzers
can be your loyal, funny and active companions. The average lifespan of a Schnauzer
is 14 to 16 years.
