Standard Schnauzer

Modified: 30-11--0001 00:00:00

The Standard Schnauzer is the original breed of the three sizes of Schnauzer, although it is sometimes classified as a terrier. The breed is handsome, robust, squarely built, and medium-sized with aristocratic bearing, making it a popular subject of many painters.

Appearance
The Standard Schnauzer has a harsh, wiry outer coat with minimal shedding that is salt and pepper or solid black in color. Ideal weight and height ranges vary considerably from one breed club's standard to the next. Males range between 18 and 20 inches (45cm-50cm) high at the withers and weigh between 35 and 50 pounds (15.5 kg-22.5 kg). Females are between 17 and 19 inches (42.5 cm-47.5 cm) high at the withers and weigh between 30 and 45 pounds (13.5kg-20.2kg).

Temperament
The Standard Schnauzer is sociable, alert, a comedian, a formidable guard, and a family companion. Properly raised and trained, they are reliable companions with their own family's children. They are not unnecessary barkers. They are noted for guarding the family home and for displaying devotion to their immediate family. They learn easily and have been used as retrievers both on land and in the water.
