THE TOY SCHNAUZER

You may ask, "How did the toy schnauzer come about?"

Many Schnauzer enthusiasts claim that more recently, unscrupulous breeders have introduced toy breeds into the schnauzer lines in order to bring down the size of the Miniature Schnauzer.

This is far from the truth.

Actually, the original American "CORRECT" size for the miniature schnauzer was 10 to 12 inches, which meant that the dogs were about 8-13 lbs. Maximum. That standard of perfection has been changed through the years, raised, raised, and raised again, so that the bigger dogs could win.......to its current 12-14" dogs weighing 14-22 lbs.

During the late 1800’s and early 1900’s when the Miniature Schnauzer breed was being established, the Standard Schnauzer was bred to the Affenpinscher, the Fox Terrier, and the Poodle, to bring down the size of the Standard Schnauzer.

These smaller breeds created a gene pool for a variety of size and color to surface from time to time.

By taking the small size minis and breeding back to the small size minis, breeders have reinforced the gene pool that brought the Toy Schnauzer about. These tiny bundles of joy, micro minis as some call them, are not dwarfs or defects in the breed as some would have you believe. They are just plain and simply a smaller size of the miniature schnauzer.
The toy schnauzer now has a new group among it's members,
the TEACUP Schnauzer.
These little guys weigh under 6 pounds when full grown. Below are several examples of the teacup schnauzer.
