By Arthur Butler


Right now you are probably looking for a new pet or a replacement one. A few of your friends have suggested that you should get a miniature schnauzer since it will make quite a lovable companion, and thus you are thinking about it. Before you do plunk down your hard earned dollars to get this dog from miniature Schnauzer puppies San Diego sellers, please do read on in this article for more information which may aid your decision.

Buying a new puppy can set you back anywhere from five hundred dollars to as much as two and half thousand dollars or more. This of course are the average prices based on demand in different states in the country. Expect to pay much more than this if you want to get a show quality dog, or one that has been born out of champion bloodline parents.

In general a miniature schnauzer will make a good family pet, and will usually get along with other pets in the house also. However, it is a bit on the playful side, and you may mistake it fighting the cat when it is really just being playful. However, if it does get into contact with another dog it does not know and it is of the same sex, then things may get a little awkward for they can get quite aggressive.

This dog is also one of the more intelligent breeds out there, and it is recommended that it be trained. However, it will get bored quite fast, especially if given rote and tedious learning tasks to do, and it will become quite stubborn. It is recommended that it be given short training sessions so as to keep its attention and responsiveness. It is also very important to note that it does not take well to discipline. Disciplining it may lead it to hold a grudge against you for a long time.

Although this breed does not shed as much as other dogs, due to their wiry upper coat, they are by no means hypoallergenic. Many falsely believe that these dogs can be recommended for their asthmatic friends, but nothing can be farther from the truth. Thus this is one misconception on this breed that you have to correct.

For a dog, this dog will have more than its fair share of health and medical problems. In general it will have skin related problems in which a lot of bumps will appear all over its skin. It will also likely develop bladder stone and heart related complications as it gets older, and some may develop early blindness due to a genetic abnormality of the breed.

Regardless of the health issues that this dog faces, it is a fairly long live breed with a lifespan ranging anywhere from twelve years to fifteen years. This can be extended somewhat with the proper care and nutrition, so you have to pay close attention to what the vet will have to recommend.

This article has thus shown you some major considerations to mull over before you take on this breed as a pet. Just be sure to always do due diligence in terms of information before you take on any animal as a pet for it takes a lot of commitment and responsibility to be a pet owner.
