The Miniature Schnauzer is a small, energetic breed of terrier that originated in Germany. They have a medium-length, wiry coat that is usually salt and pepper in color, and a sturdy, square build. Miniature Schnauzers are intelligent, playful, and loyal dogs, and are known for their strong prey drive and high energy level. They are generally good with children and other pets, but may be reserved with strangers. Miniature Schnauzers require regular grooming to maintain their wiry coat, and need regular exercise and mental stimulation. They are generally healthy dogs, but can be prone to certain health issues such as pancreatitis and urinary tract problems.
