How big does the Miniature Schnauzer get? Close Size: Ideal height: dogs: 35.6 cms (14 ins); bitches: 33 cms (13 ins). Too small, toyish appearing dogs are not typical and are undesirable.

I'm allergic, can I have a Miniature Schnauzer? Close If you or someone in your family is allergic to dogs, you should try to interact with a Miniature Schnauzer to see what reactions it triggers in your case. The Miniature Schnauzer sheds very little, and has proved to be acceptable for many who have allergic reactions to other breeds. But make sure that you spend enough time with a Miniature Schnauzer to really determine if you will be able to interact with one on a regular basis, BEFORE you decide to get one of your own. There is nothing worse than discovering that you actually are allergic to the dog AFTER you have acquired one.

I would like to get two puppies at the same time… Close I would not recommend that you get two puppies at the same time, it can really complicate the matter of raising them as they will be more occupied with one another than paying attention to you. I suggest you get one first, train it to where you want it to be, and then consider getting a second one. The second puppy will very often pick up the good behaviour from the older one (the opposite is also the case, if the older one is misbehaved you bet the new one will pick it up immediately!)

Should I crate (cage) train my puppy? Close I will suggest that you start crate train your puppy when you get it home. It simplifies the house training process. Crate training can be great when it’s used correctly. The puppy will consider the crate his house, and be safe and comfortable there. But keep in mind that the crate is not a storage room for the puppy, and when you are home he should be with you, not in the crate. I can send you some tips on crate training later if you are interested.

Why and how should I socialize my pup? Close Take your pup with you everywhere: to the office, to dog shows, to the park and little walks around the neighbourhood where they get exposed to different environments, dogs, and people. Think of the puppy as an open book with blank pages. As far as they’re concerned the world is a happy exciting place, and it’s up to you to show them that’s true. You want to fill in the pages with happy experiences from as many places and people as possible, because as the puppy grows older it gets harder and harder. The more you fill your puppy with good memories, the safer, more confident, and happier the puppy becomes. You want an outgoing puppy that will explore their environment and be open to people, and I just explained to you how you get there.

How do you the breeder socialize your puppies? Close The first few weeks they stay in a separate room for mom and pups to have peace and privacy. Then I turn the radio on when they’re around 3 weeks and open their ears. Then they move into the kitchen where there’s more sounds and action (they have barely started walking at this point). When the weather allows they will come outside and after a while they will get to be around other dogs than just mom.

Keep in mind that dogs are pack-animals, and you two become the puppy’s family. Separation from you should really be kept to a minimum. It takes a lot of time to train the puppy in the beginning, and the more time and effort you put into it from the start, the easier and quicker the puppy learns the basics.
