20 Things All Schnauzer Owners Must Never Forget

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…

  1. Had to say goodbye to my best friend of 15 yrs yesterday. The pain is indescribable. They bring us so much joy but my baby boy Toto’s body was shutting down and we couldn’t allow him to suffer any longer.

  2. I’m so very sad and sorry for you loss. I know you pain as many others do as well. We only got to have our Harley for 7.5 yrs and had to let him go due to liver cancer. I wished I could of had him for 15 yrs. :'( My heart aches for you. Sending love and healing prayers <3

  3. Thank you Staci and I’m sorry you only had 7.5 yrs from Harley. Our time with them is so precious. Hoping Toto found Harley at the rainbow bridge, running and playing like puppies, pain free!

  4. I hope you don’t think I’m stalking you, Bill. This came through my news feed. I lost my Milo in September of 2012. My heart broke and I cried and grieved for 2 months before I knew I was ready to adopt again. It takes what it takes. Losing your Toto is a significant loss. I believe grief is a reflection of how much we loved them and they loved us. Toto is definitely with Milo now, youthful, full of vigor, pain free and ready to meet us down the road!

  5. Btw Bill, it wasn’t easy to find this conversation when it came through news feed. It was “Bill replied to a comment” and I had to dig for it. So there probably aren’t a million readers of this conversation. I just wanted to say something because it’s such a tender subject.

  6. Linda Radtke I couldn’t have said it any better. That is the big thing that keeps me going, knowing we will meet again one day. I’m sorry about your loss 4 yrs ago. It’s truly life at its lowest end losing our furry friend. They ARE family!

  7. Bill, I believe it’s a presence, an energy, a bond that defies description. Perhaps best described as a “knowingness” or loving company. They know how much we love them and they take care of us in ways we couldn’t even ask for. They leave this world because they have to, but they live on in our hearts…until we meet again. A love like that never dies, I believe, and we definitely carry their spirit with us here on this earthly plane….
