About the Standard Schnauzer

The Standard Schnauzer is a medium dog breed originating in Germany. Adult dogs typically weigh 30 to 50 pounds and live 13 to 16 years. The breed is described as intelligent, alert, family-bonded, protective.

Active families that enjoy training and want a low-shedding, versatile companion willing to commit to regular grooming. Sedentary households, or owners unwilling to keep up with grooming or daily mental work.

Adult Standard Schnauzers need about 60 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 75 minutes. The coat is wire-coated with low shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
