Grooming is something you might keep in mind if you are considering a Miniature Schnauzer; the breed does have more grooming needs than other dogs, and a trim about every six weeks is often the norm. To guard against loose hair around the house, a bath after trimming works wonders! For tips on grooming a Miniature Schnauzer for sale, San Diego breeders are here!
Bathing, like grooming, is another area where a Mini Schnauzer can use a bit more care than some other types of dogs. Once every six weeks is a common minimum, and some folks even give their Schnauzers baths once every week. This is because a Schnauzer has somewhat oily skin and without baths can develop something of a stink.
While the exact date isn't known, it's believed that Schnauzers go back as far as the 14th century in Germany. As it sounds, the name of a Schnauzer comes from the German word for snout (also used to signify a moustache) and references the moustache-like snout of the breed.

You should understand that these are terrible places and the very last place in the world you would want to get Miniature Schnauzers for sale in San Diego, CA.

Yes. Earning them the unofficial title of "one-person dogs," Schnauzers do have a tendency to latch on to one family member more than others, and even follow that person around the most. And the rest of the gang? Schnauzers have love for them too! For more on the behavior of Miniature Schnauzer puppies, San Diego network members would love to chat!
It's a good idea to bear in mind that you are getting a puppy that likes to get active.
