Miniature Schnauzer
|
|
The Schnauzer is one of healthy dog breeds, but naturally as with all types of dogs, has some health issues. Von Willebrands (a bleeding disorder) similar to hemophilia in humans. Pancreatitis is another possible complication with these lap dogs and can be controlled with a healthy, low fat diet, no human table snacks allowed! Diabetes and some eye problems are also prevalent. Skin allergies can be common with some individual Miniature Schnauzers.
They are biddable and want to please their beloved owner, but can challenge a weak pack leader. You need to establish pack behavior leadership and you will be rewarded with a well balanced, happy and entertaining companion.
A good daily walk is essential though for this energetic little tot. They also need indoor kenelling particularly when clipped. This little sweetie should sleep inside with their doting family.
One of the characteristics of these small dog breeds, is their apparent sense of humor and their willingness to please. These small dog breeds are easy to train and are not generally neurotic as many of our sweet little lap dogs can be.
The little Schnauzer is a gorgeous and lively companion, suitable for the family young and old. He loves attention and will reward you with his devotion in return.
