What is the oldest living Schnauzer?
The Longest Living Miniature Schnauzer

Is 10 old for a Schnauzer?

What health problems do Schnauzers have?
Miniature Schnauzers can suffer from health problems that include allergies, epilepsy, diabetes and pancreatitis. The most common genetic problem in the breed is a strong tendency to form different types of bladder stones, usually struvite or calcium oxalate stones.
Why schnauzers are the worst dogs?
Possibility of Aggression
Schnauzers are not an ideal breed to have around tons of other dogs. They often are guarded and can be territorial in the home against other breeds. For these reasons, this makes them one of the worst dog breeds to have.
Are schnauzers good with kids?
This breed is known for being an outstanding companion who's completely devoted to their family members. They're not necessarily “one person dogs,” instead they appreciate all of the members of their “pack.” The Standard Schnauzer is particularly good with children, as they're extremely playful, yet tolerant.
How long are Schnauzers puppies?
Miniature schnauzers generally reach full size around 12 months of age, which is actually a little later -- two months or so -- than many dogs their size. This is also around the time when they should usually begin eating commercial adult dog foods rather than puppy formulas.
How long do Yorkie schnauzers live?
How long do Snorkies live? The lifespan of a Snorkie is 12 to 15 years.
At what age do dogs start slowing down?
Most dogs enter their senior years at around 7 years old, a little sooner for larger dog breeds. They begin to slow down, they may gain weight more easily, their senses start to dull. An older dog's behavior will give you plenty of hints as to what he needs, but sometimes it helps to put it in words.
Why do schnauzers smell so bad?
Certain breeds such as miniature Schnauzers are more predisposed to excessively oily skin, resulting in a unique smell and greasy feel when touched. This can be treated with certain shampoos and topical medications. When in doubt, if you notice that your dog is starting to smell, start with a bath.
How often should you bathe a Schnauzer?
We recommend a bath as frequent as every week up to no longer than every 6 weeks. Regular bathing is essential to maintain healthy skin and coat, as well as good hygiene. Grooming your pet is one of the foundations of keeping your pet's good hygiene.
Do schnauzers go deaf?
It is usually caused by a defective gene. Deafness that develops later on in life can occur from trauma or injury, ear infections, drugs, old age, even wax build-up or dirt and hair in your Schnauzer's ear. Some of these reasons for your Schnauzer's deafness may be temporary and some even treatable.
