Their name is German: Schnauze means muzzle. Their famous nose and beard is ideally shaped to protect them from retaliation of their prey: rats. Schnauzers also have great hearing because of the vermin they were bred to hunt.

They are the only German terriers. The rest are British. These sturdy dogs can contentedly live in a small apartment or tirelessly roam acres of the backyard every day. Their wiry coat keeps off dirt and shed very little, making the miniature schnauzer popular for those with allergies.
