how big are mini schnauzers
Minis are not heavy shedders but they need to be carefully groomed about every 5-8 weeks. Minis arenât your typical âtoyâ dog either. These robust and muscular pups are usually 12-14 inches tall and 13-15 pounds. The standard schnauzer, on the other hand, is about 17-19 inches and 30-33 pounds. The giant schnauzer ranges from 25-27 inches and 70-75 pounds. Some 1,500 videos of mini schnauzers are on youtube.com including at-home grooming tips.
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.
