Pet owners who like Schnauzers all know that Schnauzers are divided into three types due to different body shapes: Miniature Schnauzer, Standard Schnauzer and Giant Schnauzer. Especially in recent years, with the demand of market consumers, some breeders have also specialized in breeding smaller dogs called miniature Schnauzers. This kind of dog weighs about 4-5 pounds. It has a nice sound. The name is "Toy Schnauzer".

The Schnauzer has a relatively long history, originating roughly in Germany in the 15th century. It is the only terrier breed that does not contain British ancestry. Its name, Schnauzer, means "mood" in German. It is a smart and energetic dog breed, and it is also an excellent family dog.

1. Miniature Schnauzer (Miniature Schnauzer): a cross between the Standard Schnauzer and the Affenpinscher (Affenpinscher, a toy dog ​​that is as smart, brave and obedient as a Yorkshire terrier). The first one in 1928 It first appeared in the UK, weighing about 7-8.2 kg and standing 32-36cm tall. Miniature Schnauzers inherit the fine bloodline of their ancestors and also possess the talent of courage and guarding.

There are legends that the Miniature Schnauzer was crossed with the monkey-faced dog and the miniature poodle. In 1899, the Miniature Schnauzer participated in dog shows as an independent breed.

2. Standard Schnauzer (Standard Schnauzer): about 14 to 18 kilograms, height 42cm-48cm, bred from German Poodle, Gray Wolf Spitz and German Pinscher It is a very capable pasture guard dog.

3. Giant Schnauzer (Giant Schnauze): 34 to 41 kilograms, 60cm-70cm tall, probably bred from the almost extinct rough shepherd dogs (herdingdogs) and black Great Danes (blackGreat Danes).

Regarding Giant Schnauzers, in real life, few people choose to keep them as pets, so Giant Schnauzers are usually trained as police dogs among working dogs. No matter what kind of Schnauzer, they all have obvious whiskers, so the Schnauzer's muzzle becomes unique. Currently, most pet owners keep miniature Schnauzers.
