Schnottie History

The Schnauzer, also known as a “Scooner”, is an all-black or salt and pepper colored medium-to-large-sized breed of purebred dog. The Schnauzer originates in Germany where it was used as both a herding and watchdog, and the name means “little shaver” in German. The first standard for the breed, written by the Verein für das Deutsche Hundewesen in 1879, described a dog with a beard and mustache and a long coat. The shorter, sleeker, modern version of the Schnauzer was developed by the working classes during the 19th century. The Standard Schnauzer, which is the most popular variety of the breed, is a medium-sized, square-proportioned, black and tan coated working dog. The coat may be straight or slightly curled and comes in several varieties such as smooth, longhaired, and wire-haired. The head is wedge-shaped and rectangular, with a broad muzzle, erect ears, and dark almond-shaped eyes. The Miniature Schnauzer is a smaller version of the Standard, typically weighing 11 to 25 pounds. The Giant Schnauzer is a larger variation of the Standard and has a height of 18 to 24 inches at the withers. The Giant is a robust, muscular, and heavily boned, and both sexes have a lion-like mane and beard. The Bearded Collie, or Beardie, is a herding and working dog breed that is thought to have originated from

Schnottie Activity Requirements

Schnoodles are a cross between a Poodle and a Schnauzer. They are medium-sized, intelligent, and friendly, making them an ideal pet for families with children. A Schnoodle should be walked for at least half an hour every day. While they don’t need as much exercise as some other breeds, they still do enjoy a daily outing. A walk on leash, a romp in a fenced-in area, or a swim in a lake or ocean are all great ways to provide your Schoodle with exercise and enjoyment. If you are looking for a dog that enjoys an active lifestyle, you might find that a Schoodle isn’t the right fit for you. While they do require regular walks, they are not overly active. If running, hiking, and long walks aren’t some of your favorite things to do, a Schoodle may be the perfect dog for you.
