Dogs are family, and Schnauzers are no exception.
These adorable dogs with close wiry coats and heavy whiskers around the muzzle were originally bred to be ratters, guard dogs and all-purpose dogs on German farms.
Their versatility, protective nature, and love of family make them an excellent companion dog breed.
The schnauzer type consists of three breeds: the giant, standard, and miniature. With all of his innate skills and exceptional good looks, is it any wonder breeders felt one size was not enough?
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Schnauzers are no exception!
But sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted. There are important life lessons that are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, that all Schnauzer owners must never forget.
If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Schnauzer owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…
Check out the 20 Things All Schnauzer Owners Must Never Forget on the next page:

Except one dog who died suddenly at the vets, I have been with all my dogs, holding a foot and talking to them when they had been given reprieve from an uncomfortable life. I believe in quality time for a dog, not quantity time (which is for the human). All my dogs except the sudden death and a dog with sudden metastases from a silent cancer lived 12 1/2 years. Have lived for 15 1/2 years.

I had my beloved Sonny for almost 18 yrs. He traveled the world with me and even though it hurt I was there with his favorite treats (McD’s fries and chocolate sundae) when it was time to put him down due to Quality of Life.
