Dog Breed of the Month: The Mini Schnauser

Intelligent, loving and happy, the mini schnauzer is playful and gets along well with children. They are affectionate, keen, and docile. Like many smaller dogs, this breed needs to be socialized well and have a strong pack leader.

The mini schnauzer is good for apartment life and will be calm indoors as long as they get enough exercise, like a long walk.

Mini schnauzers have a wiry coat that should be combed daily. The breed sheds little hair, so it's good for allergies.

Mini Schnauzers live about 15 years, and are prone to certain health problems including liver disease, kidney stones, and diabetes. They gain weight easily, so they should not be overfed.

Energetic and loyal, this breed makes a good watchdog (as is definitely the case with the two schnauzers who live next door to me. Yeah, they are really loyal to their owner)
