Learn About Miniature Schnauzers
The miniature schnauzer has been around for centuries. While it can trace its breed genetics back to the standard schnauzer, it is a different breed from the standards. The minis also have other small dogs as part of their foundation, including dogs like Affenpinschers. The whole goal behind creating this breed was to end up with a small, active dog that would be good for ratting problems on farms. Farmers had problems with rats getting into their crops, feed, and seed, and a ratting dog would be a good way to keep the rats under control.
