Mini Schnauzer Size
All,
I have an 18 month old Mini Schnauzer...at least that is what I was told when I purchased him at 2 months of age. Does anyone know the weights for Schnauzers? My "mini" now weighs 26.5 lbs. I was told that he would be in the 15 lb. range when grown. I have books on Schnauzers and cannot seem to get a handle on the correct size. TIA Petey's Mom |

It looks like my pup is non-standard by color and weight. How tall is he at the withers? If you can't measure him there, the top of the shoulder blades is a reasonable approximation. What colour is he? Can you post a picture somewhere? -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

There are never any guarantees with a puppy that you will get what you expected. That large a size difference is one of the fore unusual ways of not meeting expectations, but not the most difficult form. Personality problems are far harder. FWIW my new neighbors have a small standard schnauser, ~30 lbs, that is a dear. I prefer her to he miniatures I have known. -- Bill Clodius los the lost and net the pet to email |

No, there's still variability and surprises. You should get a guarantee that the breeder will take the dog back, and there should be fewer surprises, but no surprises in a litter would be a surprise. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

My brother-in-law has gotten three German Shepherds from very reputable breeders. They originally planned to breed shepherds. All three were good with people and very handsome, but the first they got had hip displasia, the second significant eye problems, and the third is same sex aggressive. Fortunately they had the good sense to breed none of them. My sister, on the other hand, has been pleasantly surprised that her English Bulldogs have been living twelve to fourteen years. She has been less pleased that her youngest has developed separation anxiety in mid-life. The destruction to part of her house has been hard to deal with. -- Bill Clodius los the lost and net the pet to email |
