By Ronald Miller


Dogs. You just cannot get enough of them. With their incredibly cute appearances, quirky personality, fluffiness that is excellent for cuddling and their undying love for you, anyone would want to keep them as pets. I myself have three dogs at home. Even though it is quite expensive to maintain them, when you look at their face and their eyes tell you that they love you more than life itself, you can definitely say it is worth it. There are so many different breeds of dogs, and their behaviors may vary from where they were bred from, how they were brought up, etc. Read on to find out if you are capable in handling a miniature schnauzer Vancouver.

Originally hailing from the majestic country of Germany, mini schnauzers have made their way into becoming one of the most popular breeds all over the world. In fact, in the U. S. Alone, they have consistently stayed on top of the popularity rankings. Many dog lovers have this as their favorite breed.

The appearance of one is enough to lure you into buying a puppy. A mini schnauzer possesses a unique angry looking face with a mustache hanging by their mouths. They are small in size, as their name suggests.

These little dogs should not be underestimated. In fact, they are one of the smartest breeds. Trainers love working with them because they can easily pick up new tricks.

Another thing you should not underestimate about them is their ears. They have large capabilities of hearing, though not obvious. Therefore, they make excellent guard dogs. People who live on the farm love to pair them with German shepherds because they work together so well.

Marie, a business owner, owns one named Agatha and is very pleased with her. She says Agatha is an excellent family dog. She gets along with everyone, especially her kids. She adds that Agatha and her four year old daughter, Irene, are inseparable, and play together everyday.

Whether you live in a big mansion or a small apartment, this is a good choice of breed for you. This type of breed can live almost anywhere, as they can adapt to their environment fairly quickly. However, do not forget to give them lots of exercise, as they are very energetic and might get destructive when left bored too long.

For grooming, their fur has to be maintained regularly. Make sure to bring them to a groomer for a haircut every eight weeks or so. It is also highly recommended you brush them thoroughly daily to avoid matting in their fur. When they get old, watch out for heart or eye complications.

It is so hard to resist the eyes of a puppy. But when you decide to get a dog, make sure that you are ready. Dogs are a long term commitment, some breeds live longer than the other. This particular breed has an average life span of twelve to fourteen years. If you feel that you are not ready to care for another living, breathing thing for that long, save yourself and the dog the trouble, and just keep on admiring them from afar.
