#4 The aim of the breeders was the intention to develop a miniature dog breed with the character and temperament of schnauzers and at the same time suitable for life in an urban environment, capable of becoming a companion for their owners.
The main initiator of the creation of the new breed was a German breeder, a passionate admirer of Pinschers and Schnauzers, the chairman of the Pincherschnauzer Club - Joseph Berta.
In 1902, the Pincherschnauzer Club published its first studbook, where, in addition to pinschers and standard schnauzers, 14 miniature schnauzers also found their place. The first official representative of this breed is a male named Zhokchio Fulda Lilliput, born in 1898.
#5 A descendant of the Schnauzer, the Miniature Schnauzer inherited from him all the main features of the breed.
"Small big dog" - so often characterize the miniature schnauzer, implying the diminutiveness of the dog, coupled with its serious disposition and excellent physical qualities. This dog has a stable nervous system, a lightning-fast reaction, he is alert and distrustful of strangers, ready at any moment to demonstrate to a stranger that jokes are bad with him.
#6 Sentinel qualities in a miniature schnauzer are manifested from puppyhood
The courage and dedication of an adult dog know no boundaries, and she copes with the role of the protector of the house and its owners perfectly. A trained dog always acts according to plan: first, it warns the intruder with a formidable growl and deafening bark, and if this does not work, it will probably leave its own trademark on the enemy's calf - an impressive bite mark.
