Schnauzer's are love, intelligence and loyalty are wrapped up in one. I have the privilege of having one. His name is Charlie. He smothers me with kisses and loves to play ball and go for walks. He has a collection of stuffed animals that he roughs up and tosses. Every moment spent with him is a blessing and I am thankful to have him. ♥️🐾

I've had 2 mini Schnauzers, one in the 80's-90's with my wife & kids and another now as a single senior. They are wonderful dogs and the best of companions. One thing to consider for single people thinking of getting one of these dogs is they do not like being alone. If you plan to have a night life or do things with friends and leave the dog home this dog is not for you. These dogs need to be with their people. If you treat your miniature Schnauzer with love and kindness and take him with you wherever you go, you will be rewarded with a wonderful loving companion.

I’d always had larger dogs, but got a mini schnauzer about 20 years ago due to housing rental restrictions. She (Sara) was a bundle of personality and quiet as a mouse. Whenever she wanted something or when I came home, she didn’t bark, but made a happy sound, as if she were talking. I lost her when she was 14 and swore I’d never get another dog. After a couple of years, I found a house was not a home without a dog, so I got another one. This schnauzer, Boomer (named for obvious reasons), is the polar opposite of Sara in the barking department. Regardless, he is such an intelligent playful bundle of joy, and he makes the home whole again.

She has very sweet nature and likes everything done at a certain time, her walk in the morning bout 10, 1 in evening bout 6, nap in afternoon bout half 2/3 and bed by 8. That’s only time she’ll bark to let you know you’re running late or forgot something. She doesn’t bark at strangers, postman or other dogs and loves kids. If she sees a kid in the street she will have to go introduce herself to them. Wouldn’t be without her

Our 18 lb Mini's best friend and mentor as a pup was a large gentle German Shepard. One day the Shepard was carrying a big stick. When he set it down our Mini picked it up (stole) and headed home. Fortunately the Shepard didn't object. Every day after that our Mini would find a 'big dog' stick and bring it home. I'm talking about 4' long 2" thick sticks for a distance up to 1.5 miles! Once she had cleaned out all the loose sticks along our many walking routes, she would sit down and not budge beside a candidate branch that was too big for her to wrangle out of the bush, waiting for me to fetch it out for her and break it down to manageable size (4' x 2"). She did this for 9 years. Fortunately we back on to a ravine and were able to create a 5' high stick fence that completely enclosed the back yard. Visualize a very large beaver dam, and you'll have an idea of how big it was. I'm sure most beavers would be jealous! She was a big celebrity in our neighbourhood, and was invited many times to be included in complete stranger's wedding pictures being taken in the local park when we happened by while she was carrying one of her sticks.

They are fiercely loyal to Family, and love to snuggle, and spend time with their owners. Its important to socialize them when they are young, as they can become quite Yappy, or mildly territorial (yet not aggressive) on walks. A good sized yard, or a brisk 20min walk, and fetch are highly suggested to tucker these little mountain goats out! Its good to get them mobile to calm their little nerves, but expect ALL the cuddles afterword!
