I took my son to a birthday party yesterday. The family, whom I don't really know, had a 'regular' sized Schnauzer in the house & what I *thought* was her puppy. The "puppy" was not hers, but what they said was a 'miniature' Schnauzer. It looked the size of an 8 to 10 week old pup, but was actuall..

My 4-year-old Miniature Schnauzer frequently pants throughout the day, even when there is no way she could possibly be hot. This happens sometimes 10 or 15 times a day, lasting anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes. I took her to her vet, who checked her out, and he found nothing wrong. Does this soun..

Is it necessary to have a mini schnauzer groomed so they have their beards or is it ok to crop their heads and leave the rest of the body have a full bunch of hair. We are thinking of getting a mini and my wife doesn't like the look of a mini although she likes the other aspects of the breed.
