I can't say for sure, but my mini schnauzer is around 15 pounds and is overweight, I would say the ideal weight would be around 10-12 pounds, but to be certain I would ask your vet. Also, they say when a dog is their ideal weight you should be able to feel their ribs, not see them, but be able to feel them without have to dig around to find them.

I think my miniature schnauzer is too big to be a miniature He's 6 months old and already weighs 20 lbs Any thoughts?

A full grown miniature schnauzer should weigh between 14 and 20 pounds. Perhaps your dog is a standard schnauzer, not a miniature. Miniatures should grow to be about a foot tall; standards, about a foot and a half. Is your puppy real tall or just overweight?

What happens if a miniature schnauzer bites a rat?

Well, first I have to tell you something. Miniature Schnauzers were meant for ratting, or to kill rats. Well obviously the rat will die but your Miniature Schnauzer will be fine. --- As an addendum to the point above, your Miniature Schnauzer may not be fine - rats may be rife with bacteria and disease, which your Schnauzer may not be used to. If your Schnauzer has bit a rat, it may be an idea to discuss it with your vet, as the bacteria could cause your Schnauzer to get sick.

Is 20 lbs to much for a miniature schnauzer to weigh?

No. This weight is perfectly normal for a miniature schnauzer. If your schnauzer gets overweight, take him/her for a run or a walk daily and only give him/her treats or "cookies" when they "do their jobs" outside. Only feed them at about 8:00 in the morning and at 6:30 in the evening. They can gain weight easily, so make sure they don't get excessive amounts of treats. Nope. . . .

I have a Minature Schnauzer and she is 17 pounds and she is only 1 1/2 years old so yeah this is a good weight for the Minature Schnauzer . . :-)
