The Schnauzer - Can be described as a small dog with a big heart. They are known for their love and respect for their master. They are watchful, clever and very brave. Their other characteristics are perceptivity, undivided attention and special awareness in the field.
Miniature Schnauzers are very spirited with spontaneous reactions. They are extremely sensitive to their owner's mood and have a very strong sense of justice. From our experiences in breeding miniature Schnauzers, we can assure you that they are truly active dogs and not the dog that moves from the chair to the sofa! If you prefer, you could carry your Schnauzer in your arms, but they would prefer to have lots of freedom to move and to be treated like any normal big dog. Although Schnauzers are physically small, all their features are big. They have a big spirit, big love for the owner and small children, have a big sense of justice, have big emotions, are very independent and are very, very intelligent..
In one phrase, miniature Schnauzers are personified by saying:” In a little body-big spirit”. Miniature Schnauzer varies in four different colors: white, black, silver-black and salt&pepper.
