Miniature Schnauzer

I chose to review this 32 page  juvenile non-fiction book about Miniature Schnauzers because we have one at home.  I found myself laughing in recognition some of the time and disagreeing some of the time.  One statement said that Schnauzers make a strange howling sound when they don’t want to comply with a command.  However, we find our mini does that when he’s excited and wants our attention.  A section on grooming noted that minis should be professionally groomed at least twice a year.  At the rate Schnauzer fur grows and because they don’t shed, this breed of dog would be a shaggy mess if left 6 months without grooming.  Schnauzers should be groomed about every two months.  Just nuances but noticeable to an owner of this breed.  Every dog is different so some of the sweeping generalizations aren’t necessarily accurate, while other tendencies seem more typical of the breed.  Overall this is a good resource and the pictures capture the Schnauzer expressiveness and personality.
