I disagree, they make great protectors. I have had several people who would not come into my home because of my 2 mini’s. As a matter of fact my one mini would not let anyone near me and actually bit 3 people who did not heed my warnings.
My girl is 17 years old now and truly the best companion in the world. ❤ Through the years we've played with tricks (she knew around 33 of them at 8 years old and to save on her joints we retired her from the tricks at 8), tracking, playing search and rescue, hiking, blueberry picking, low difficulty rock climbing, dog parkour, nosework, agility, and more. The mini schnauzer loves doing things with you so they're game to try just about any activity your heart desire. Such a great dog. ❤
My schnauzer loves my kids and is so protective over all of us. She is so smart. She rings a bell when she needs to go outside. She is the best family dog.
I found a puppy and he ended up being the smartest debar dog ever . I was sad about my husky running away and this dog was the best loyal dog I ever had
Same with mine. But I've had 2 male m. Schnauzers who tolerated kids and a big parrot even though they Were scared to death of them. I don't know which scared them more the kid or the Amazon parrot who was in love with him. 😆 lol.
pros: mine will never leave me alone, is attached to my hip cons: : mine will never leave me alone, is attached to my hip LOL besides the jokes they are amazing dogs, they are small but very brave, they are really smart (mine knows 15 or tricks and does agility training), and they love their families and will protect them to the best of their ability . The only con is the barking , mine barks SO MUCH
This is a great video. I own 2 minis and all of the pros (and some cons) are true. My 11 yr old has back pain and liver issues. She’s currently undergoing laser therapy. It improved her quality of live greatly.
when they said schnauzers are food obsessed, they apparently interviewed my schnoodle, George...if we do anything out of the ordinary - and i mean anything, he thinks it's treat time...
My Maximus Lloyd was my sweet little boy that I was blessed to have for 12 years. He loved me unconditionally and was my loyal protector. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge in May 2020...I miss him everyday and will love him forever. ❤🐾❤
We have 2 minis and they are the most loveable, loyal little hairballs in the world. Only bark when there is something worth barking at, love our cats and mother our rottweiler.
Kidney stones another common problem but can be reduced with a special dry dog food availablefrom the vet. Cysts are another common problem but easily removed. Overall, what a joy of a dog. My boy Bogie was my best friend for over 15 years.
my schnoodle already had surgery before he was rescued - found out he has a bladder full of crystals again...he's on the food he needs and only gets carrots, cucumbers, and apple pieces as treats... we cannot afford the 2500 for the surgery so we are enjoying our time with him and if there is another blockage, we aren't going to put him through it again...
My partner and I are self employed so take our little Schnauzer everywhere we go and she loves it. She can be a little foodie though so to protect her we never give her human food like bread or biscuits even though she begs for it. She has one high quality dog meal per day and treats consist of raw cabbage, raw carrot or her favourite raw sprouts. The video is correct to say diet has to be strictly controlled. As a pet she is a true darling and a perfect companion so would recommend them whole heartedly.
She sounds like a doll! I have worked from home since we got our mini Schnauzer, so we are very attached as well. We’ve learned to manage her diet carefully, and her favorite snacks are chopped raw carrots. She comes running any time she hears me cutting or peeling vegetables. 🥰 I will have to see if she likes cabbage and sprouts!
If any dog is capable of mind controlling you to give it human food, it is a Schnauzer! Good for you to be able to resist! You must be a strong pack leader.
I love my schnauzer. Kobe is two years old and he’s beautiful and happy. He follows me everywhere and he’s well behaved he doesn’t bark at anything either. I groom him every three weeks myself and he’s always beautiful. I take him everywhere. He is very social and friendly. However he kills squirrels and birds. And lots of rats and mice.
This is obviously coming from someone that only knows about minis from the script and has never lived with them. They can chill for more than 8 hours, are rarely destructive(unless they find your childhood stuffed animal and tear it to shreds), sleep all night, and place their energy mainly to pleasing you. I guess if you never interact with your mini, they could be a pain to deal with, but if you don’t want to interact with a dog, why have one? As far as energy level, throwing a toy a few times a day, a good game of tug of war, and a walk for half a mile or so is more than enough for these little guys. And if you overdo it, you’ll be carrying them home because they’re pooped out and don’t want to walk any further. Believe me on this one… if they’re done walking you carry them because they will NOT move
I had 2 mini schnauzers and they were smart as whips. They both had pancreatitis issues which were overcome. Both passed away at 16.5 years old with cancer. Love the breed.
Mini schnauzers shouldn't be clipped. They should be raked from undercoat wool at least once a week and stripped by hand (the outer coat) every three months. If clipped, their fur change quality; become soft , curly and less able to with stand rain and snow. It also change colour when clipped; the black schnauzer becomes greyish brown and start to lack lustre.
Having now my second Schnauzer in a row there was no new information for me here. The one thing that bothered me in a lot of the photos was the fact that very many of the Schnauzers had cropped tails. I personally find this very disgusting and would like to crop something off of the owners. Fortunately, this barbarious act is forbidden here in Germany, where I live.
Thankfully my dog wasn't cropped or docked by her breeders, but some breeders crop/dock before the buyer has any say in it. At the dog park other schnauzer owners have told me they wish theirs hadn't been cropped/docked, so don't judge the owners too harshly. Instead judge the breeders and the show rings for their stupid rules.
Woh hold up here you all say that it is cruel to dock their tails. I’m here to tell you that it’s not a bad idea my nephew has a Cane Corso mix that use to wack his tail on everything and it would bleed everywhere on the walls on the ceiling this was a weekly thing for years the money he spent on vet bills and cleaning supplies. Till they Docked his tail now the problem is solved and the dog has never been better. Let me guess all the guys that made a comment on docked tails & cropped ears are not circumcised or don’t have dentures or dislike breast implants cause that’s cruel also Lol
@@rcasper4700 ...It is illegal in Australia now that’s all I meant and several other countries too except for medical reasons so definitely NOT for “cosmetic” reasons. When it is necessary for HEALTH reasons, it must be done by a veterinarian. kb.rspca.org.au/knowledge-base/what-are-the-animal-welfare-issues-with-docking-dogs-tails/
@@gayedawn1 Oh by the way I am a proud owner of a Schnoodle ( pictured) he is a rescue dog and his tail was docked and you can tell by his Nub what his body language is. We could not imagine what it would be like to have a full tail because he really swings his Nub when he is happy which is most of the time
I had one for 13 years, and she was not a good dog for a 9 yr old...she was always moody and did not enjoy playtime. Reason why she had little to no interaction with me.
Hi you wrongly pronounce schnauzer with a T as in snoutzer tut tut please correct this if you want to look like your a professional who understands and knows what your talking about !!!!
I have a mini schnauzer and it is a great gard dog and every video said they are great gard dogs but this video they mite be small but they are feres I hade 2 schnauzer at one point and they both are great gard dogs and I hate this video so stop lying to all of the people that has seen this video and will see this video so please stop making videos full of lily's please
i have a miniature schnauzer, he is 9 months old and 8.5 kgs. slightly bigger than a mini poodle. he is a really calm and intelligent dog. however, he is overprotective and barks to strangers. when he was 6 months old, he started to bark at running strangers. other than that, he is the friendliest dog you could ever meet. my friends love him. he does not bite. when he was little, he was a really active dog. he grew up to match our energy. we take him out every day for at least an hour. he is sometimes scared of bigger dogs but he really gets on well with others. even though he is in his adolescence times now, he never irritated my friends or people. we got him neutered on Tuesday and he got on really well with it. when we say no to him, he stops. he knows how to sit, wait, to give his paws, to lie down, to pee on his own place, to not bite, to not bark when we tell him, to fetch, to put down and to go to his crate when we command him. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART: if you are planning to get a mini schnauzer, see if you have "hand stripping" groomers near you. it is really really important for your dog to get hand stripped in order to maintain a healthy and a comfortable coat. wire coated dogs need this procedure to be done. it doesn't hurt them if it is done right with the best groomer. schnauzers have double coats and their fallen hairs get stuck to the undercoat. the hand stripping method pulls all the stuck hairs out. you only get it done twice a year. your schnauzer will probably have less hair after hand stripping, be a bit bald but the coat turns into the best and healthiest after a week or two, it grows back. if your schnauzers live in an open area with a forest, you may not need this procedure to be done often because normally, schnauzers do hand stripping by themselves by scratching their backs to trees. if you live in a normal house with a small yard like us, you need your dog to get hand stripped. our dog is hypoallergenic, doesn't smell and is the most intelligent dog breed my friends know. some loved ours so got a schnauzer for their own. we love you Kylo Ren
I would never get another mini schnauzer. He hates kids and people. Can’t have people over. 🤦🏻♀️ Walking him in a challenge. Tonight on our walk we had to hide behind garbage bins cause he saw another dog.
Well, easygoing they are not. I have issues walking mine, too. But although they are characters, they make up for it in loyalty and love for their main person.
That’s sad. My mini adored and grew up with my 5 grandchildren. She even watched them when they slept. Even the four year old could walk her on the lead. She is sadly missed.
You need to work on training your dog properly. It's almost always an issue with us , the owner, has to work through with them. Does your dog know the "leave it" command? If not start there.
Sounds like your schnauzer ruled your house. You need to establish that you are the boss. Did you socialize him around people and kids when he was a pup? My schnauzer loves kids and people in general. He doesn't care for people's approaching me or the house uninvited but i love it my alarm system, but once your inside your good. One of his nicknames is Kujo because he will bite a mf if I tell him too. The best lover and protector you can welcome into your home.
@@alyssap3601 Yes and no. Schnauzers are notoriously stubborn and tough; they had to be to perform the work they were bred to do (i.e., kill vermin). A certain amount of this has to do with genes, especially with a purebred.

Pros: he was my buddy for 14 years and 7 days.
Cons: he died.
Mine too died last month at 14. I am still and always will be devastated.
@プレイズカレブ go for it! You won't be disapointed.
My sweet buddy was 17 years old when I knew he was no longer happy.I think of him every single day!
im so sorry, i know how devastating it can be
I'm sorry about your loss. I have a 12 year old boy. I love him.
My girl is 17 years old now and truly the best companion in the world. ❤ Through the years we've played with tricks (she knew around 33 of them at 8 years old and to save on her joints we retired her from the tricks at 8), tracking, playing search and rescue, hiking, blueberry picking, low difficulty rock climbing, dog parkour, nosework, agility, and more. The mini schnauzer loves doing things with you so they're game to try just about any activity your heart desire. Such a great dog. ❤
That is an amazing age.
My schnauzer loves my kids and is so protective over all of us. She is so smart. She rings a bell when she needs to go outside. She is the best family dog.
A bell? Like a regular one or a special one? ...im curious as i would like to train my Min Schnauzer by using one
I found a puppy and he ended up being the smartest debar dog ever . I was sad about my husky running away and this dog was the best loyal dog I ever had
My schaunzer hates kids, but she was really good at protecting house. I was never scared when going for a walk with her :)
Same with mine. But I've had 2 male m. Schnauzers who tolerated kids and a big parrot even though they
Were scared to death of them. I don't know which scared them more the kid or the Amazon parrot who was in love with him. 😆 lol.
We had a schnauzer growing up, and she didn’t like kids outside our family...the schnauzer we have now is super playful and LOVES kids.
Love that lol
loved my Bella Rose she gave us the best life and was so loving she lived to be 15 years old and was a real sweet heart. She will be missed.
We have our sweet Bella Joy, now 2
This dog is your protector for life! Serious, tough, and loving to his people. Patience for other dogs...not so much.
pros: mine will never leave me alone, is attached to my hip
cons: : mine will never leave me alone, is attached to my hip
LOL
besides the jokes they are amazing dogs, they are small but very brave, they are really smart (mine knows 15 or tricks and does agility training), and they love their families and will protect them to the best of their ability .
The only con is the barking , mine barks SO MUCH
Only bread i’ll ever own is a schnauzer. Idc what options are out there. Best dog.
This is a great video. I own 2 minis and all of the pros (and some cons) are true. My 11 yr old has back pain and liver issues. She’s currently undergoing laser therapy. It improved her quality of live greatly.
love and miss my sweet heart Tashi so much, she was so loving, smart, learned new commands only in 3 repetitions.
Mini Schnauzer bought last night. 2 months old , adorable. Time to train!!
Mini Schnauzers are the best! The pros out way the cons.
Yes they are!
I live my little ones
Dud, *outweigh*

Our mini follows me like she's my shadow
My girl is a mamas baby follows me to the bathroom and everywhere mine doesn't care for children, because she doesn't trust them.
I love my miniature schnauzer soooooooo much! She’s cuddling with my husband now.
I love Schnauzers so much
Let’s all agree even their negative issues are so loveable !
Our schnauzer is incredibly dumb and can't learn commands. But he's lovable, and we love him SO MUCH!
you for get to add the laughter........... no dog will make you laugh out loud as much as a mini schnauzer.
I have a white miniature schnauzer he's very cute and friendly
I love my schnauzer. Kobe is two years old and he’s beautiful and happy. He follows me everywhere and he’s well behaved he doesn’t bark at anything either. I groom him every three weeks myself and he’s always beautiful. I take him everywhere. He is very social and friendly. However he kills squirrels and birds. And lots of rats and mice.

My Mini was with me for 14 yrs. Mia was the typical schnauzer. She was my shadow. but you forgot one item the breed is susceptible to , pancreatitis.
I WISHD ID HAD 2 OF THESE
Mine is a mini schnauzer mix with a cocker spaniel mix with a mini poodle and a St. Bernard
I got my first mini about year ago. I won't have anything thing else from here on out. They are like no other dog I've had.
MINI SCHNAUZERS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!IVE NEVER HAD A BAD ONE.
I had 2 mini schnauzers and they were smart as whips. They both had pancreatitis issues which were overcome. Both passed away at 16.5 years old with cancer. Love the breed.
All ways good info 💯🤟
we had two schnauzers and both died one of them was 13 years old and had cancer and the one live to be 15 years old.

ha thats my dog, good vid
Grooming them is so easy. I groom both of mine. Combing their beard daily sent necessary. Once a week will suffice.
Depends on how you groom them. Do you hand strip or clip them?
Me have no cons.
My schnauzer is the loudest dog in the neighborhood and there’s a lot of dogs here

May I ask where you got him? I’ve been looking for a place to get dogs everywhere:(
My mini is a jerk. Doesn’t like kids or other small dogs
I had one for 13 years, and she was not a good dog for a 9 yr old...she was always moody and did not enjoy playtime. Reason why she had little to no interaction with me.
Yes my girl is moody and does not play but I love her to bits no matter what. 🥰🥰🥰
We also have a Schnauzer. Look
Wow my schnauzer is not anything like what this video is saying
There is no "t{" before the "z" in schnauzer; that's annoying.
Sounds like a beagle
robotic british voice begging for subs, DISLIKE
Who is that crank sitting on the park bench with the ridiculous haircut?
