8 Reasons Why You SHOULD NOT Get a Miniature Schnauzer

[@timmywhit5559]

Best dog ever. I have a 13 year old one and he still acts like a puppy. All he does is cuddle. He’s a little stupid but we love him for it.

[@jenni8982]

When I was little, our family had a mini schnauzer. Even as a puppy he acted like a grumpy old man.

[@amybakay536]

​@@jenni8982Ours is 6 years old and over the last 2 years, he has definitely become grumpy 😂 But, it just makes us laugh. His only bad quality, is his excessive barking.

[@rethalinville1003]

My 10 yr old mini Schnauzer is my heart. I rescued him and he's my best buddy! Someone had already trained him and I would give my life for this dog. Very intelligent & he's the heart of my heart! I think I have had him for about 5-6 yrs now. Best dog I've ever had!

[@sharonanderson5794]

100 agree with you. My first schnauzer and only Schnauzer off owned what's the most perfect dog ever! So intelligent she taught herself in most cases how to please me. I had the privilege of having her for 10 years before she died. Which will be 2 years in June and I still grieve... I considered purchasing another schnauzer the schnauzers all look so much alike I couldn't stand to be around her thinking it was my baby that passed.... I'm so happy that you have your schnauzer you won't be sorry on anyone... may you have very many happy years with your fur baby.

I am now raising my second mini schnauzer. They are the best dog for how I live. Mine follows me everywhere. I love to garden and so does she. When I dig a hole, she’s right there to help me dig… making it easier for me and giving her exercise too. She does not dig anywhere else, she only digs where I’m digging…. Smartest dog ever!

[@shereejohansen7923]

Thank you for this article. I worry every time a friend or family member says they are looking for a Mini Schnauzer. I know the the cost and commitment involved. We have had them for the last 20+ years and now can't imagine not having them. They are our kids and everything we do has them as a main consideration.

[@prairiegirl255]

We have had two miniature Schnauzers. The first one died at 14, our second one is now 15, but still acts like a puppy at times. He is my constant companion, very smart, does not bark except when a large dog walks by on “his” sidewalk. He loves meeting new people and especially loves small children. He is a wonderful companion and loves to go for walks. Once you’ve had a Schnauzer you don’t want another breed. They are wonderful dogs! He has been diagnosed with kidney disease, but I cook for him, don’t give him any commercial food and his condition has improved over the last 18 months. I think the home cooked food has been the reason. A lot of dog food is not healthy.

[@cloking1088]

I've had 5 miniature schnauzers at different times of my life and never encountered any of the negative issues listed. I thank God for that! But recently my Chihuahua became ill. He was so sick. The vet said he was in congestive heart failure and gave him 3 days to live. I was devastated. I began cooking for him the same day. His health turned around so quickly! Of course he was not cured, but I got an additional 10 wonderful months with him. I think the dog food industry has gotten worse and worse over the years. Cutting corners and adding chemicals to make it cheaper and sell it at a high price. It's hard to trust any of them these days. Never second guess making your own dog food. It's easy and so much better for them. And a lot of times much cheaper depending on what brand you use. Hope you get an abundance of time with your precious furbaby!

The best dog i have ever had! very intelligent, very emotional, not barks at all unless a stranger approaches our home and has helped my deaf son to exercise daily and feel very emotionally attached to my 8 years old mini schanuzer!

[@denisepgalloway]

My white mini is the best dog I have ever had. Very intelligent, obedient, affectionate, and is not a fan of exercise. She doesn't bark (except at the UPS bringing boxes she perceives are Barkbox). She loves people and can be left alone without being crated in the house. She has never tried to get into anything or tear or chew anything.

I have a 10 month old mini, and a lot of what you said is true. He can be stubborn at times but ignore him just a bit, and he comes around. As he continues to grow out of the puppy stage, he gets better every day. I wouldn't trade him for the world.

[@marylarson7447]

My mini schnauzer was my first dog and a rescue. She taught me how to be a pet parent, how to walk a dog and the importance of sniffing on walks. Miss her every day!

[@ninatheredhead]

I have a 14 month old mini and she loves to bark at people when they come to the house. It scares people but she really just wants to play and say hi. Makes me crazy. How can I stop this because I don’t want people afraid of her. She is a small little girl but barking can scare people like she will bit them.

[@irisshalurhad7901]

I have a 7 year old all white mini schnauzer and she doesn’t share a lot of these traits. She is a sweetheart and a generally calm dog. She can be a barker when strangers come around or she hears noises outside.

[@rebekkad.2092]

I adore my mini. I had one before her that lived to be 14 1/2 years and miss her every day. I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have one. They are the best dogs ever.

[@aliehaagsman]

My miniature Schnauzer, Naya, is three years old. After a lot of research I decided on this breed and I have not been disappointed. She is a delightful companion. The first two-three months I kept Naya on a leash, in her kennel overnight , or in a playpen (in the family room) until we could lead her past the cats (three of them) without Naya pouncing on them and she was house broken. To keep her clean and attractive, I take Naya to a professional groomer every six weeks to two months. I agree, the miniature Schnauzer needs commitment and consistency.

[@julieskipper1061]

Best dog ever. Have had multiple MS (> 40 years) and hope to never be without one! All were easy to train . Please socialize your pups (all breeds) as this reduces negative behaviors such as barking. For example, my current boy will give a bark or low growl if he sees someone walking down the street...that's not a bad thing. I respond with a 'Thank You, bud!", and he relaxes. (On the other hand, squirrels in the yard reuqire a little more negotiating, lol!). Training and socialization are key! Love...love....love this breed!

[@keirenle]

My dog does not have separation anxiety. Although she can wait for 8 hours and she did a few times, luckily my new job has 1 hour lunch break so I can take her out after 4 hours. Having a job should never stop u from having a dog as long as u select a right breed, train it well and plan your day to make sure your dog gets the attention that it needs.

[@tessbruderer2953]

I’ve had 3 miniature schnauzers and all 3 were amazing. Friendly, loyal, protective and listened very well. I guess you could say that about any dog but they are amazing. I look to get another and continue the legacy. 10/10 dog!

[@TheresaTankersley-xp5kx]

The miniature schnauzer's are the best dogs ever. I have had them for years. They are very smart. Just like any dog you have to train them. They are very loving. They are beautiful. I have one now that no amount of money could buy.

[@keirenle]

My experience: the beard..I trim it and only given kibble. Grooming: u need to learn how to do it to reduce the salon visits which would cost 100 bucks each times. My schnauzer is out going and get walk 30 mins twice a day. She loves to go out but u would have to carry her back if u take longer walks. Schnauzer is a smart dog and she would remember the name of all her toys. She very well behave at home, no destructive behaviour, I wonder if that has to do with the fact that I train her on every meals. I heard Schauser barks alot so I trained her out of it, I love a good watch dog but no one like a yappy dog. The fifth point, I may be lucky or my training is working but I dog does not get separation anxiety. I crate trained her and always leave her alone from early on, a couple hours at the time, oh and I resisted to not hold her for too long, instead I ask her to find her toys when she bored. Got to keep her independent. Sixth, she s very stubborn so u have to be persistence, luckily she likes her food so I always teach her at meal times. She does not like the heat so out door living is not her, luckily she odourless, does not shed and not destructive so indoor living is easy. Last point, in my experience, pure-bred is alot more delicate than the mixed breed. It means, it will cost you more, if u are not having a budget for that, get a mixed breed. I m happy with my little girl, she is suitable for busy people but love animals.

I have on she's almost 2. Best dog I've ever gotten so kind and caring, but she also likes to fight big dogs. Goes up to them and takes them down it's pretty badass, also her barking is good, as long she doesn't start she's good but it's hard for her to get going

[@lbreventing]

I have standard schnauzers. One I got when I was 2 and she was like a sister to me. We lived together for 13 years and passed away at 13 in January 2022. I have another who is 12 and is my constant emotional support while dealing with my other dogs passing.

[@LN-zw9fn]

I have had my amazing miniature Schnauzers. Died at 14++. He is the best companion, very smart, rarely bark. Once you’ve had a Schnauzer you don’t want another breed. They are wonderful dogs! He loves fresh home cook - pork meat, chicken meat, veges and rice. No commercial food. Most dog food is not healthy.

[@wnhlwntk]

Our first two mini schnauzers got diabetes around 8 years old, causing blindness. But twice daily insulin shots kept them alive for four more years, though towards the end of their lives, it was hard to control their sugar level, causing excessive peeing. Our third, and most recent mini schnauzer lived a healthy life for fourteen years, though in her last year or two her health started deteriorating. Last fall she had a seizure, couldn't walk, and we had to put her down. Devastating to us. She was our favorite. We don't think we'll get another one because I'm 70 and if we'd get a puppy like we did before, I'd could be 84, taking care of an elderly dog myself. If I was younger, I'd definitely get another one. So smart and spunky. Love the breed!

And something I can't seem to train out is his 'mouthy' play. he is gentle but i wish he didnt love to use his teeth so much 😅.With a solid trainer this is a great breed.

I missed my dog so much. Don't think we can ever replace her. 5 years now and we still didn’t want to get another dog because we felt that i could be a betrayal to our dog.

[@marcelotto6825]

Best dog ever. None of the reasons not to get a Miniature Schnauzer are good reasons! Yes, mine was energetic during the first 5 years (like nearly all pets), but all her later years she was the perfect "shadow dog". Barking was never an issue (at any age). Chewing was never an issue. Slightly true is the fact that she doesn't enjoy being alone. I personally wouldn't keep any dog outdoors on a permanent basis.

[@dougrobinson8602]

Reason nine: Do not get a miniature schnauzer if you do not like being followed everywhere you go. BTW, Schnauzers can live much longer than this video states. With good care, good food and regular exercise, 17 years is what you should expect. The video is correct that you must establish yourself as the dominant creature in the house. If you do intend to get a schnauzer, go to the breeder in person and make sure they are not a puppy mill. So many schnauzers come from awful places. Both of our rescues were from mills. A despicable practice.

Searched about this dog on the internet and tried to get what's the breed name after a what I believed was a mini Schnauzer that was walked by his human parents stopped by next to my car when he saw my cats inside the car. First he stopped at the back to look at my 2 cats that were on back dashboard, it was 1 or 2 stop however he could move on after distracted by a passerby patted on him. When he walked towards the front side of my car he stopped again to look at another 1 cat on my front dashboard. Very friendly dog, I pat my cat to wave at him with lights in car on, mini schnauzer seemed so happy and the parents too were so entertained by his. He kept looking back to my cat few times and each time he did I pat my cat waved at him, until the parents had to walk him took turn towards the side of the building so that he's off sight from my cat otherwise he won't stop lol. What a lovely being.

[@jimfoulk5765]

I am very glad I got my mine. I have him groomed very 3 months and I don't mind he is the best dog ever.

But no, if you are a seasoned jogger or runner your mini will not keep up, I run with my two boys but we have to keep it shorter than what I'd run by myself for my own fitness. A nice bush or forest walk is plenty for them both mentally and physically

My Lilly doesn't bark much...but she very active at 8 months i think she could be in k-9 sports...

We finally were able to get a mini with a TAIL! Wow! The tail is so cute and so much fun! Gosh I wish breeders would stop cropping and docking,

My 3-year old mini schnauzer is about 2 1/2 weeks away from having her first litter...my first experience with a pregnant dog. I'm very excited! I do not plan on having the pups' tails docked. Even though Gigi's (the mama's) tail is docked, I plan on keeping everything natural...including NOT administering any drugs (dewormer or vaxxes) because they're not needed...they only harm.

I have a 8 year old mini schnauzer named Chancey. He was a stud dog until he was 4 years old, and we adopted him after that. When we adopted him, he had to have 28 teeth pulled. The last owners did not take good care of him at all. Now he is 8 years old and he will be having the rest of his teeth removed. 😢

Aww. What kind of food will he eat? I know hard dog food wouldn’t be good for his gums.
