How many types of schnauzers are there?

Answer 1

There are 3 types of schnauzers: Miniature Schnauzer, Standard Schnauzer, and a Giant Schnauzer.

Miniature Schnauzers are normally about a foot tall (30 cm) at the shoulder. They can weight between 13 and 15 pounds (5 to 7 kg). They tend to have high levels of energy and are thought of as an intelligent breed. More often than not they are a silver or black colouring. They are very affectionate, loyal and enjoy the company of their owners, although they can live outside too. They make great pets and can offer companionship to any type of person or family. They are rarely aggressive when confronted by strangers, although they can be a little too quick to sound the alarm when they perceive something as a threat. Standard Schnauzers are normally about one and a half feet tall (46 cm) at the shoulder. They can weight between 26 to 37 pounds (12 to 17 kg). They are classed as a working breed of dog and have been used as ratters. They also make good guard dogs. In times of war they are used to carry messages, they help the Red Cross and even make good police dogs! Standard Schnauzers are the original breed of Schnauzers and the others have been bred from these. They are normally very energetic and make great house dogs. They are very easy to train and can learn very fast. They do need a lot of exercise to keep them both physical and mental well being. Giant Schnauzersare about 2 feet tall (60 cm) at the shoulder and can weigh between 66 and 78 pounds (30 to 35 kg). They are also classes as working dogs. In the past they have helped heard cattle and were also used as guard bogs at breweries. They are a powerful, yet compact breed of dog and need large amounts of exercise. They need a firm, consistent, but friendly handler. They can be a little over protective of their home and owner. They are very affectionate towards their owners and will tend to follow them round the house. However, they tend to take the view that if a person doesn't live here, then they don't belong here. They make great guard dogs and will naturally protect their home.

Theres the Giant Scnauzer which is most common. Then the miniture and toy scnauzers. But the scnauzer that is most ignored is the tea-cup. Its a rare scnauzer but you still can have them. There are very many colors too. Silver and black are very common in this breed but theres also white. Some scnauzers even have blue skin under their thick coat. They are very good house pets, train very quickly and live normally up to 14 or 15 years. I would recommend this pet for smaller children but its also good for pets that have to be left alone a lot.
