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:

We just lost our Abbi a few weeks ago. She was almost 14 yrs old. The emotions and feelings are still raw. That #20 got to me too. But I know it was a comfort for our family to be there in her last moments. She will always hold a place in all our hearts.

Lesley, we had just got a schnauzer puppy a month before, because I knew her time was near. I sure miss my Sophie girl though.

These should be applied to every pet, but surely the last is most definitely a must.

OMG the last one made me cry too. I had to put my 15 yr old miniature schnauzer to sleep a year ago & it still hurts so bad. I miss him terribly. He was rescued from roaming the streets of Amarillo Tx 15 yrs ago & lived the rest of his life with me.

My little Leisel is older and not well. the last made me cry also. All the years go by so very fast and such joy but the hardest part of being a pet parent is saying goodbye… staying by their side is the last thing you can do for your fur child to feel your love to the very end. Leaving part of your gone.
