Schnauzer

Google Square Ad

The Schnauzer is compact and easy to take on adventures.  This breed is not good in apartments because they may bark if bored.  Your Schnauzer can be a good watchdog.

Schnauzers are usually sociable and often good with other pets.  However, this breed has a deep chasing instinct, so he may not do well in a home with cats, gerbils, guinea pigs or other small animals.  Be careful on walks - your Schnauzer may bolt if he sees something interesting to chase.

Training

Your Schnauzer should be trained early to socialize or he may become upset and bark at strangers regularly.  This breed can be stubborn, so be consistent with your positive training.  The Schnauzer is intelligent and should be taught tricks that will provide mental stimulation.

Exercise

Schnauzers require a good amount of daily exercise.  They are used to chasing, and should be able to run and play daily to fulfill this need.

Health
