How to Care for a Miniature Schnauzer

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Nancy Frensley. I'm the training manager at the Berkeley East Bay Humane Society, and we're going to talk a bit about taking care of your Miniature Schnauzer. There are three sizes of Schnauzers. The Miniature is the smallest one, and they basically are a toy sized dog. The Standard Schnauzer is a mid-size dog, and the Giant Schnauzer is really, really, really large. Now, in spite of the difference in sizes, all three of the sizes pretty much have the same personality. These are an active, rambunctious dog that need a job. They...you have to give them jobs in your house. You have to keep them mentally stimulated. And, you have to do good obedience training with them. Also, your Schnauzer has a rough, terrier-like coat, and is going to need some professional grooming, at least a few times in his lifetime, to keep his coat nice and smooth, and properly groomed for his breed."
