how big will a miniature schnauzer get
Them's the Rules, Folks. The breed standard for the miniature schnauzer, by AKC rules, is 18 to 20 inches at the shoulder for dogs and 17 to 19 inches for bitches (that's kennel-talk, by the way, not cussin', and is drawing-room proper in dog circles). Anything taller is a standard schnauzer by definition and anything shorter is a runt.
