The Standard Schnauzer is a bold, sharp-witted, and reliable working dog originally bred in Germany for ratting, guarding farms, and herding duties. Known for their distinctive beard, bushy eyebrows, and alert expression, Standard Schnauzers combine intelligence, athleticism, and loyalty in a compact, powerful frame.
Their wire-haired coat sheds very little but requires routine grooming, including brushing, hand-stripping, or professional clipping to maintain its texture and tidy appearance. They are highly trainable, excel in obedience, tracking, and agility, and need consistent mental and physical exercise to stay balanced and happy.
