7 Weeks Old Miniature Schnauzer First Day At Home

Bruce’s first day

[@rodneycooperLMSCoach]

For anyone who has never owned a dog whatever their age(the owner that is)and would like to then the finest dog you could ever get would be a mini schnauzer.

[@brucejackie2509]

Totally agreed

[@violamaffessanti6559]

Please, could you explain why? Thanks!

[@rodneycooperLMSCoach]

@@violamaffessanti6559 They are clean. No doggy smells. The black ones do not moult or leave hairs everywhere. They are easily picked up and carried. They have an affectionate temperament and are extremely funny. Every day is a fun time for them. They are loyal and easy to train. Finally very cute to look at and easy to fall for.

[@violamaffessanti6559]

@@rodneycooperLMSCoach Many thanks, very useful. I’m considering to get a dog and the mini Schnauzer is the breed I focussed on. I actually literally fell in love with them, so very happy to read your opinion. However, I’m carefully studying all factors as I’d like to take a responsible decision, including the right moment for getting it. One of my main concerns is that I live alone and work full-time in a not dog-welcoming office in normal times. There are dog walkers available in my area, but I’d like to think of that as a situation’s improvement more than its solution (in the dog’s adult life, ofc it could be the solution for its puppy life). I mean, I can’t rely on someone external for a decision that affects my dog’s and my life for the next 12 years. At the same time, should I wait to be 70 and retired to get a dog when I may not be able to run with it? I guess I wouldn’t be the only person with a full-time job and a dog. So, the question is: would you confirm what I read around about Mini Schnauzers dealing well with staying alone, so not suffering much/at all of separation anxiety? What do you think about this situation? Are there other solutions that I may not have thought of? (e.g. I’ve seen videocameras to connect to the dog while at work, evt spitting out treats, toys throwing a ball put at the paw’s touch, etc. obviously it’s not as valuable as human presence, but probably they still entertain and reduce boredom). Sorry for the long question, but I hope to receive a constructive answer, as it’d help reading a more personal opinion from an owner rather than just a breed’s description. Thank you in advance.

[@rodneycooperLMSCoach]

@@violamaffessanti6559 In my opinion having owned with my partner a dear little female Schnauzer for the past three years we could never advise anyone to leave them (or any other breed for that matter) alone in a house or flat. They are sociable animals and need their owners company. As we are self employed it is easy for us but we take ours everywhere we go and even more so with dog thefts on the rise. If left alone they become extremely bored and start biting the furniture,skirting board,table legs anything they can get hold of. In your situation I would only be happy if I could hand the dog over to a trusted friend, neighbour or relative who could look after them all day each day. Sorry to not be more positive but it is all about the animals happiness and I can vouch for the fact that it does show on mini schnauzers.

Every Mini Schnauzer I see steals my heart!

[@amd781]

How could someone not like this? Schnauzer pups are the best!

[@bzb500]

My Schnauzer Charlie was 7 weeks old when he came home and he is a busy busy boy. He goes for walks and loves to play ball. He hates the mailman, UPS, Fed Ex and any one that comes on my porch. I am privileged and blessed to have him. Enjoy your Schnauzer. He will keep you entertained.♥️🐾

[@brucejackie2509]

Omg! Same. He hates everyone walking by the house 😅

[@svari_3886]

My Schnauzer passed away two years ago and I’m still in very deep sadness whenever I think of that. I often dream about him still. He was more like a little brother and a child to me than just a pet. These are very intelligent creatures and have a real character, too! Please love your dogs and treat them with respect and kindness. It looks that the baby from this video have got a great owner! :)

[@brucejackie2509]

I’m sad every time thinking how short their lives are :(

[@bzb500]

I am sorry for your loss. My Charlie is 10. I cherish every moment with him. He owns my heart. ♥️🐾💋

[@earlm9931]

Mine was potty trained in 2 days. This breed is brilliant

[@rebekkad.2092]

I have a schnauzer and I adore her! They are so sweet and cute and just lovable. I crate trained her from day one and she goes in it when necessary. It's her safe space.

[@marybreschini9463]

Have had thirty years of wonderful mini schnauzers. Just put money down on another one who is to be born at the end of June. Cannot wait until this sweetly is in my arms. They are actually the best friend to have.

[@brucejackie2509]

They are the best!

[@mollylind7563]

So cute, but leaving mum at 7 weeks is a little early. A pup should not leave the mum before 8 weeks.

[@earlm9931]

Agree. Got mine at 10 weeks.

[@tammyjohnson1884]

💯

[@phillippasteur3904]

It is not too early. They do fine at 6 weeks on.

[@tammyjohnson1884]

@@phillippasteur3904 Definitely too early. It’s not just about eating, it’s about learning from mom and siblings how to be a dog. It’s only “fine” if they are rescued, but a responsible breeder would never let a puppy go before 8 weeks. 10 weeks is awesome.

[@reginadriver5185]

@@phillippasteur3904 your right. Sometimes the mom snaps or attacks a pup that's trying to nurse.

[@debbiescott6732]

You two are such cute furbaby parents. This puppy will be getting lots of love and attention. Lots of fun memories, good health and a blessed family. ❤👍

[@winfriedkloeser3244]

What ever love you give them , they return it tenfold. My little buddy is seventeen and still going strong. Got him at six weeks and he is still the same lovable friend. Plus he saved my life twice. How can you repay that?

[@daviator4720]

Love your mini, I got one almost a year ago and decided not to dock the tail... Sweet dogs....

[@rebekkad.2092]

They don't dock the tails in Australia. It seems like a silly thing to do.

[@debbiecosat5138]

I love min Schnauzers ❤ I have 2 now. They gave me 6 puppies 5 years ago. Best 8 weeks ever raising them. Smart, smart loving dogs. 🐕‍🦺🐕🐶. GOD BLESS TO THE WORLD 🌎 WORLD PEACE!!!!!!!!!!! BE SAFE UNDER COVID-19.. Enjoy your life with "Bruce".

[@SteveBrownRocks2023]

This one looks exactly like mine did when he was a baby! He’s 12 now, & he’s the smartest & sweetest dog I’ve ever had!(Im 62 & have had lots of dogs of many breeds too!)

[@lyndajoyce6243]

Our new baby looks exactly like this one too. So what were the colors of yours as he got older? I’m just curious. We have had two other Schnauzers but they did not look like this one as babies. One was silver and the other one was black but changed to a dark gray.

[@stevebrownrocks6376]

@@lyndajoyce6243 sorry I didn’t reply to your post. It went to my Gmail instead of yahoo. He always looked like that, I have to tell you; he got suddenly ill & Jesus took him back on July 18th. I’m missing him very much. He was my constant companion, & I love him. I’ll see him again one day though…🙏🏼

[@phillipfaig3928]

He is so cute. We have a 12 1/2 year old mini and he is our baby. This video reminds me of when he was a pup. He has an illness now so every day we have with him is sweet. Enjoy your pup.

@@earlm9931 I am so sorry. Our Marley has a form of cancer that can’t be cured. We are hoping it is not aggressive but we have been told we have somewhere between 3-9 months. We are also devastated. We love him like no other dog we have had. God be with you as you take this hard journey

[@earlm9931]

@@phillipfaig3928 Thanks for the kind words and same to you. It's the weirdest thing owning a mini, they are like little human beings. I have never experienced anything like it. Ours has spinal issues, so some days you cannot walk and most days she is in pain. She gets shots which seem to help but her muscular structure is wasting away to nothing and we think she is starting to suffer from dementia. She has given us so much joy and happiness. We will miss her very much.

@@earlm9931 I am so sorry to hear about your sweet pup. They are like little humans and make their way into our hearts in ways others cannot.

Currently we have a boy and girl siblings we got at 10 weeks. Had 3 pairs of schnauzies over years before these two. We love the breed their smartness, love to play comitted to us and more. I think puppy being 10 weeks has more confidence and overall will grow up better with being more reassured There is much more.....

[@necromancer0616]

@@brucejackie2509 Thank you and be sure your vet is aware of the risks involved in rabies vaccinations. If your dog or cat has ANY infections before the rabies shot they can suddenly have a complete immune system breakdown and die. That's what happened because that stupid vet didn't know what the hell he was doing!

[@Chris-gc3cm]

My girl Bella is allergic to one or more if her puppy vaccinations so her vet said no more for her. She leads a somewhat sheltered life because of it but I try to keep her occupied and I believe she's a happy girl. I'm on the lookout for another to keep her company.
