3 Secrets of my Mini Schnauzer

3 Secrets of my Mini Schnauzer

[@Dudewitdaplan22]

I have a mini schnauzer who just turned 7 years old and let me just say that this dog saved my life. After my divorce, I was in a very bad place mentally. This dog never left my side, never chewed up anything, and always cuddles up against me as if to say that I’m not alone. The love I have for my dog is beyond words.

[@lynnfarley7859]

I know your in good company. I'm in love w my mini too. Lost my daughter to cancer - this dog gives me joy after such paralyzing grief.

My mini schnauzer was the same. A true angel during my marital collapse and divorce. After divorce, I was laid off from my job and had to move back home. Not long after that, my schnauzer who got me through so much and moved cross country with me died suddenly of autoimmune hemolytic anemia at only 5 years old. No idea how I pulled through all of those devastating events. I will never forget her and how amazing she was.

[@Sketchysketcher15]

I completely agree❤ My mini schnauzer was 15 when she passed and SAME. She was the the absolute sweetest, so smart, never destructive, I could always rely on her to brighten every day. She is the best teacher and friend that I have ever had. Not a day goes by when I do not miss her. I am SO grateful that I was so fortunate to have such an amazing soul in my life. They really are such a precious gift. ❤

[@SteveBrownRocks2023]

You sound nearly exactly the same as me! Schnauzers are just very very special dogs.

[@andienguyen1082]

I have a mini schnauzer who is about to turn 2 years old in couple months. He's super duper adorable, extremely stubborn. Sometimes, he pretends like he can't hear you or he loves to do certain things accordingly to his pace. He's very demanding when it comes to his play time with me which is set to 7am and 5pm everyday (due to my working hours). He'd bring different toys to get your attention. And if I try to ignore him, he will howl. He's just so entertaining to be around. haha

[@angiek7294]

I think our mini schnauzers must come from the same litter! Our two year old is the exact same way.

[@MaxBialystoclk515]

I envy you

[@chuckylamb4398]

My mini schnauzer is calm. Likes to play with his toys but is never destructive. Best dog we ever had. Nearly eight he’s the love of our lives

[@et1016]

Best dogs in the world!! ❤

[@dameoftruth4022]

Omg, the energy! Mine bounces off the wall.

[@arcefelipe17]

I have two of them, the older one is almost 16, unfortunately he’s dealing with some health issues but he still has all the energy in the world to chase birds and bark at other dogs, he’s been with me since I was a kid and not seeing them because I moved out of my parents house is hard to deal with, I definitely want another in the future, just love the breed (even if they are noisy as hell 😂)

[@Schnauzerandme]

This is our first one, she is very sweet.

[@gayedawn1]

When I bought mine in Australia, the breeder would not let the pups leave until they were 10 weeks old. She was still tiny.

[@ROYGBIVphoto]

Oh she is sooo adorable. How lucky you are and I know I’m preaching to the choir. Keep having fun!

[@SteveBrownRocks2023]

My little man never chewed anything he wasn’t supposed to, never tore anything up. He was so smart, I didn’t feel like I actually trained him to pee outside, or how to do things. He just knew. He knew everything I said too. If I said “walk”, or “snack”, or “Petsmart”( he loved going there), or “DR.”, he knew. I had to be careful, if he thought we were going somewhere he’d get all excited like a kid, & bug me til we went! He loved riding in the car too. He’d sit there looking out the windows at people in cars, & they’d laugh & point…it was just cool! I miss him terribly, every day…😥

[@Schnauzerandme]

So sorry for your loss. They are very smart and I am amazed every day at how many words they know.

[@riverlizard1]

Schnauzers gonna Schnauze IMHO Best breed!

[@Yes_Anastasia]

So stinking cute, but I wish breeders would allow babies to stay with their mama until 8 weeks old.

[@joekossmann9010]

Minis certainly march to a different drum beat. Harder to figure out than my kids

[@Schnauzerandme]

So true!

[@andyjones357]

Schnauzers do grow out of of that toilet paper stage lol

[@connernickerson5509]

Mine never did, she would do it well into her second decade.

[@barbaraburkett2976]

Ours is a mini snauzer, shitzu mix. Love her so much. So smart and so spoiled ❤

[@jostrauss9999]

Love little Stella. She is so precious and reminds me so much of the 2 schnauzer I raised from 6 weeks to 16 years old. They are so wonderful. Thanks so much for making these videos. Oh, shredded toy problem...get her a small Kong toy. They don't shred and all my dogs have loved them. They are helpful in the chewing period they go through. Please give her a hug for me. ❤

[@Schnauzerandme]

I will, she is a great hugger! Thank you for the suggestion!

[@janmateranek1756]

I have a mini schnauzer as well. I showed her your video, turned my phone sideways and she watched your Stella and the entire video. It was so cute and your fur baby is adorable ❤

[@BookloverFantasy92]

Minis are very independent. Happy to be with their owner, but also happy to play by themselves. It sounds like some of the issues you have comes from a poor breeder, since pups shouldn’t leave their mother until at least 8 weeks old. 6 weeks is far too early and they still have much to learn from their mother and siblings.

[@mrmikef1972]

We lost our schnauzer 4 days ago due to old age. We had him 14 years. He was very loyal and had been there for us through some rough years in our lives. Wifey and I plan to get another one. Perhaps next year, we are still mourning. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@Schnauzerandme]

So sorry for your loss

[@williamvasalofsky8358]

I have 4 a mother, father and 2 pups that are almost 2 now. They are about 18lbs, 18lbs, and pups are around 15lbs. They eat all day and run all day both indoor and outdoor.

[@jostrauss9999]

Stella is adorable and your video is great! It's not easy to follow the antics of a busy little schnauzer. Thanks for taking the time to make that great video.

[@Schnauzerandme]

Thank you so much!!

[@abyoung1021]

I've had Mini-Schnauzers all my life, usually in pairs 😊

[@tamarahollenbeck2988]

Adorable!💖

[@arianebeaumont1642]

As a miniature schnauzer owner my schnauzer is NOT energetic ALL the time and is the sweetest and the best friend I could ever have schnauzers also learn quickly if u want to teach them tricks❤

[@BookloverFantasy92]

Mine is the same. He will be full of beans, but he will also happily lay with me on the couch.

[@DebraRuskHTD4LIFE]

I love my mini schnauzers! I have a 10 year old and a 4 month. they keep me on my toes!!!

[@jeffevers3732]

Thanks for the video :)

[@vedarubino-pfeifer537]

Hi Stella, you are so precious!!!! Miss my Nikko❤❤

[@LadyAlf57]

So cute!

[@Schnauzerandme]

Thank you!

[@patriciasavage1801]

I have two schnauzer’s 9 years apart and they have never tore up anything in the house they are so good

[@Schnauzerandme]

Ours never tore up anything of value but loves shredding toilet paper and chewing on baseballs if she can get them, I don’t know why. I have really been thinking about getting one more schnauzer.

[@iderik01]

But very cruel to cut the tail, in Europe it's forbidden since long

[@dougbotimer8005]

Good information, we just got our 3 month old miniature schnauzer. Awesome dog.

[@jonnanr18]

How he does with patty training? I just got 2 months little dude - mini schnauzer

[@dougbotimer8005]

@@jonnanr18 He is doing well with going outside, and not in the house. We wanted to train him to puppy pads and that didn’t work at all. He is peeing in his outdoor pen, but refuses to poop except near our fence. The pooping forces me to follow him all over the yard with his leash, as he is too small and fast to be outside off leash.

[@jonnanr18]

@@dougbotimer8005 - yes, same here - he won’t go on puppy pads, he likes to play with them tearing them apart. We are all day on backyard to make him do his business. Because he is too young, he pees every 10-15 minutes…

[@dougbotimer8005]

@@jonnanr18 We’re lucky that he is catching on fast. Although out trips outside get extended by distractions like dogs all around us he has to know. There were four squirrels playing in the trees over his favorite fence this morning.

[@patriciajune5918]

I have a sm Schnauzer ,& i love her so much, she has her tail & i leave it fluffy looks better than shaved i think

[@keyratcane66]

My Schnauzer is 12 and was just diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure. We are devastated, she is the heart and soul of our family. They are the best dogs.

[@Schnauzerandme]

Sorry to hear about the diagnosis. Stella is the best dog I have ever had. My thoughts are with you.

[@connernickerson5509]

Mine had a similar condition. It is largely genetic, but can be exacerbated by a poor diet full of human food scraps, poor exercise, and lack of micronutrients.

[@user-qt3os2ko9l]

My two boys were with me when my previous Chris died!!

[@andyjones357]

Oh I do need to say squirrels they will go for a squirrel 🐿️ so be ready

[@keirenle]

My schnauzer s alot more mellow. She will bark, although not excessive. I always discouraged her to play too rough so her toys do last. Also, I teach her to fetch all different toys at eating time, so make use of her intelligence. She s also trained to be alone, so I go to work. I love her

[@Anne-xg8cg]

My mini schnauzer loved to run around my sons house after his cat she would never hurt the cat then the cat had kittens and when my schnauzer saw them she was scared and too scared to move..

[@aliceshinn4934]

I got a female and male from the litter. They keep each other active I have a dog door so they go outside all the time. They chew everything..toys, the squeaky is taken out, and shread toys, paper ripped up. ..❤❤❤❤

[@aliceshinn4934]

They ate 11 months old, full of love..😅

[@Schnauzerandme]

Thank you for sharing! Love reading your story!

[@SarahCoombs-or3pr]

We have the best mini schnauzer her name is Izzy. She is a soft gray and all the tings your video said. Toys are everywhere! She flies down hall to get them. I sure wish I had your area to throw toys to her. I do in our back but she won’t give them back! As soon as weather better days are spent at a park where we can really get going. Picky eater? Or did I do it?

[@Schnauzerandme]

Ours can be picky too!

[@jenniferhadwick6593]

I've had three mini schnauzers, so sad your still docking their tails which is illegal in Australia

[@Schnauzerandme]

This is our first schnauzer. I love her. I wasn’t aware of docked tail vs natural tail until just recently.

[@Anne-xg8cg]

I agree about the tails my schnauzers take is always upright so even see it when running in long grass

[@ruthdavis4751]

@@Anne-xg8cg I would have LOVED to keep our mini schnauzer's tail; docking tails is still allowed in the US and most breeders still dock them at a couple days of age. I wish very much it would be illegal. I think it is cruel to take any dog's tail away from them

[@iderik01]

Why is the tail cut??

[@Schnauzerandme]

Tradition where we live.

As a proud parent of a Schnoodle I agreed with you No Tails please and thank you Nubs Forever

[@NigelRingrose-dm9ps]

Adorable mini Schnauzer, but please stop docking their tails it's cruel and unnecessary.

[@MigseyKton]

It’s a shame that people proudly post videos of mutilated animals. This lovely creature hat it’s tail cut. That is pure savagery. Shameless unnecessary cruelty.

[@Schnauzerandme]

There are no mutilated animals in my video. This is a tradition where we live.
