Temperment

I added some info on the Mini's temperment. The article was suggesting that these were easy-going and loyal dogs, so I added some more input about how they are not. --Arithmia 15:27, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, please stop deleting and modifying what I edited unless you can show me some proper explanation. I have breed these dogs for years, so I know what I am talking about. Also, this is an encyclopedia - it is not the place to write your own opinions for this dog. --Arithmia 01:51, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Improper usage of this talk page!

Ok, I know I shouldn't use talk pages like this. However, my mini schnauzer is 6 now and starting to be a little bit old (not quite as active as she used to be). Is all the diabetes etc stuff true? What are the warniing signs? 86.145.105.149 21:06, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You need to take your dog to the vet and have a complete CBC and urinalysis done. This should be done 2X a year once the dog is 7. 6 is NOT old for a mini schnauzer, and if you dog is "acting old" then there's definitely something wrong. Excessive thirst and urinating in improper places when dog was previously housebroken are 2 signs of diabetes, also formation of cataracts.

History/ Miniature Schnauzer

According to Anne Eskridge Paramore's Book, The Complete Miniature Schnauzer, the first GERMAN stud book for the Miniature Schnauzers registered 8 bitches, 3 of which were yellow (what we now call white ). There were 6 male Miniature Schnauzer registered in the first German stud book, 4 of them were yellow. There was only one S&P male and one S&P female registered. Therefore the white or yellow color of miniature schnauzers originally registered was the predominate original color of the Miniature Schnauzers. The Germans were not as concerned with color as they were with establishing correct structure and type. They were actually trying to breed for the color BLACK. The yellow or white color came through by breeding the standard Schnauzers to black miniature poodles that carried the "e,e" genes that suppress the black color in the hair coat only. So when both parents passed the "e" gene to their offspring the "white color was produced in the puppy that carried the "e,e" gene. After speaking directly with members and judges from the German Pinscher Schnauzer Klub this fact was verified. There was one kennel in Europe, named Abbagamba, who bred Parti (spotted) Miniature Schnauzers for a few years in the early development of the breed, but the PSK decided not to register any more spotted Miniatures so they stopped breeding them.
