Antique hunters mice, the schnauzer, these hardwood Teutons beards have become popular nowadays as pets favorite among dog lovers. Did you know that there are different types of schnauzer? Will have the characteristics of each.
The medium sized schnauzer is what today has all the original conditions of his race is the dog painters in Germany fell in love and became recurring character in many paintings and tapestries. While employed in the field for hunting vermin, soon became one of the petfavorite of the aristocracy, rivaling the popularity they had reached, for example, different types of terriers in other parts of Europe. Normally the standard schnauzer weighs between 13 and 20 kilos and is considered a quiet dog, capable of great affection to their masters (and delighted to receive it).
However, there is a type of schnauzer most recommended for those living in the city, in those cramped apartments which unfortunately does not give many facilities at the time of having pets . The miniature schnauzer has been created thinking of the need for a smaller dog, comes from crossing other breeds such as German pinscher or poodle, popular races 0ther popular smaller. If we love the schnauzer look nice with those beards that give a serious expression on par with comic, I find such in this "mini" version. Its weight is usually between 3 to 7 kilos.
Finally we have the giant schnauzer. As the name suggests, is the "big brother" of the two, and certainly with all of the law can weigh up to 45 kilos.In Germany was used as a working dog in the same way that the Great Dane or German shepherd, for example, though on a smaller scale than these. Not too suitable for the city (and certainly not if you live in a small apartment), but will pet happy in a field where they have room to run and burn off energy at home.
