Schnauzer dogs are ideal for energetic and sports-loving people and walks. Families, especially if they are active. Singles and people who live in apartments but enjoy the walks and games with their dog.
This breed comes from Germany, and originated towards the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. La Raza was obtained from old local German races, like the beaver dog, an old German race already extinct.
Originally they had tasks of shepherd dog, but seeing the natural inclination of these dogs for the hunting of rats and small vermin of the farms and stables, his size was reduced and his activity oriented towards this task.
Character:
Despite appearing in miniature varieties, they are temperamental dogs and have energy in abundance.
To understand us, it's like a big dog with a small body. It is therefore good to provide them with attention and exercise regularly (walks, trips to the park, games, etc.). This way we will be able to reduce its excesses of energy and we will prevent it from becoming hyperactive.
It is also a territorial dog, independent and brave, especially in relation to its size.
Due to their tendency to bark at strange noises they are a good guard dog.
They also have an above average intelligence and therefore require an adequate education to get the most out of them and prevent them from becoming annoying compulsive barkers. Regarding their diet, schnauzer dogs have a tendency to gain weight, so we recommend that you do not neglect their diet or offer too many trinkets or pecking at odd times, in order to maintain a dog with a healthy weight and appropriate to its size.
Dog breeds are classified according to their size, so there are three varieties of schnauzer:
The standard schnauzer measures 44-50 cm at the withers and weighs 14-20 kilos.
giant schnauzer measures 58-71 cm at the withers and weighs 25-48 kilos.
miniature schnauzer measures 30-36 cm at the withers and weighs 5.4-9 kilos.
They are sensitive dogs, that is to say, if it is left a lot of time alone tends to be depressed to such pnto that it did not eat during that time. I'm telling you I own a naughty schnauzer named Wally.
this is my naughty:
value the life of your dog, if it is the first time you have one, document your feeding and maintenance, they will thank you with protection and affection. Remember that he is the best friend a woman or man can have!
