Chapter 1 Introducing the Miniature Schnauzer S mart, lively, and playful, the Miniature Schnauzer is a superb companion. Looking out from under his bushy eyebrows, he is always on the alert, keen to take part in everything. He also has a gentle side, and will give you boundless love and affection. The Miniature Schnauzer was bred down from the larger Stan- dard Schnauzer, a dog valued as an intelligent herder, a formidable ratter, and a fearless guard dog. The Mini Schnauzer’s primary role was always as a companion, but he retains many of the characteris- tics of his ancestors.
