Schnauzers
Miniature Schnauzers might look like toy breeds or lap dogs, but you will be surprised: these dogs have a lively temperament, are action packed and there is no way they will want to be carried around in a handbag!
Miniature Schnauzers are very loyal towards their owners but not very obedient by nature. They have an innocent looking face but can actually be quite headstrong and mischievous. Because of this strong personality, it is important that they are trained to understand their place in the home.
They are a great family dog and go perfectly with kids as they love to play, and will keep going all day long! They need lots of adventure for their physical and mental stimulation, and will enjoy any kind of dog sports or running type activities.

A Miniature Schnauzer is full of life. An extrovert, he loves to be in the thick of the family action. He may even run up to you while you're sitting down and throw his paws around your neck. He wants to touch you and be next to you all the time, and you can bet he'll want to sleep plastered to your side.
A bit of a spitfire, the Miniature Schnauzer is a terrier — that means he's full of himself. He's a feisty type A and his work involves amusing himself. He is not aloof or independent but needs to be with people, and what's more, he wants to be in close physical contact. (Your lap is no longer your own.)
He's very intelligent, which makes training easy, but it also means he's a master of manipulation. That combined with his stubbornness will keep you on your toes. He's not as feisty as some terriers, however, nor as dog-aggressive.
As with every dog, the Miniature Schnauzer needs early socialization — exposure to many different people, sights, sounds, and experiences — when they're young. Socialization helps ensure that your Miniature Schnauzer puppy grows up to be a well-rounded dog.
