Daily walks and play; it enjoys agility, earthdog-style games, scent work and trick training.
Versorging
Brush a few times a week and have the coat clipped or hand-stripped every 6 to 8 weeks; it sheds very little.
Opleiding
Bright and eager to please, though it can be bossy; reward-based training and early work on barking help.

Oor die ras
The Miniature Schnauzer was developed in Germany in the late 19th century from the Standard Schnauzer, probably with the help of smaller breeds such as the Affenpinscher. It was used as a farm ratter and watchdog before becoming one of the world's most popular companion dogs.
It adapts well to city or country life and enjoys being involved in everything. It is affectionate and playful but also vocal and alert, announcing every visitor. Daily exercise, regular grooming and a careful diet help keep it healthy and content.
