Miniature Schnauzers were bred from Standard Schnauzers. They originated from Germany in the 19th century. They were raised to be farm dogs for ratting, herding, and guarding.

They are spunky and alert dogs that are obedient, friendly, intelligent, and quite willing to please. They are not aggressive or timid. They tend to be playful dogs that love attention and will play for hours.

Miniature Schnauzers have a very square-shaped build, measuring 11 to 14 inches tall and weighing as small as 8 lbs to 20 lbs. They come in Teacup (8 lbs and under), Toy (9 to 15 lbs), and Mini (15-20 lbs).

They are not aggressive. I always suggest new owners to prepare your child for a puppy so that they respect boundaries and be easy with them. They are very social and it makes them great pets. They do love to chase and play with other animals. Ours are always running around with my daughter's kittens.

Schnauzers are hypoallergenic. They do not shed. I always tell people to have them started with puppy cuts to get used to grooming but AFTER they have all of their shots to prevent them from getting Parvo. Brushing daily will help keep them from getting stubborn tangles. Oatmeal shampoo helps to prevent flaking skin, allergies, and itchiness.

Only after the puppy has received all puppy vaccines can it be taken out in public, exposed to public sidewalks and grasses, or exposed to people outside of the household. This reduces the chance of your puppy contracting a communicable desease such as Canine Parvo that can result in death. Do not put the puppy on any ground or floor until all puppy vaccines are completed!

Puppies must be at least 8 weeks old and 2 lbs. to go home.

They receive the DHPP vaccine at 8 weeks old which is for Canine Distemper, Adenovirus Type 1 (Hepatitis), Adenovirus Type 2 (Respiratory Disease), Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus.

Puppies are dewormed at 2,4,6, and 8 weeks old. Pyrantel Pamoate removes stongyles, pinworms and roundworms. Safeguard removes lung, stomach, barber pole, intestinal, hook, and nodular worms. Toltrazuril is for coccidia.

Puppies need two additional DHPP vaccines at 11 and 14 weeks old. They will require core vaccines every year. Some non-core vaccines are recommended depending on your area and other enviromental factors. Please talk to your veterinarian for recommendations. Deworming will need to be done every three months for life with an effective all wormer. Your vet can give you excellent recommendations. Some well known products are Sentry WormXPlus, Safeguard, Sentinel, Bayer. Heartgard is a chewable for heartworm prevention that kills heartworms and also helps treat and control roundworms and hookworms. It is vital that once the puppy is at an appropriate age they will need a Flea and Tick Prevention as well as Heartworm prevention. **PLEASE refrain from using Trifexis, it almost killed one of my beloved dogs** We use Bravecto to kills and prevent fleas for 12 weeks.
