Introduction

A medium-sized dog weighing between 35 and 45 pounds, the standard schnauzer is actually the standard schnauzer: larger than the miniature, smaller than the giants. Schnauzers of all three sizes share several breed hallmarks: a tight, tight-fitting coat of pure black or “”pepper and salt””; A strong, square built frame; And a tall head equipped with arched eyebrows and sharp mustaches, eyes glowing with deep intelligence.

Standards are sociable companions, vigilant watchdogs, enthusiastic backyard squirrel chasers, and are good with children and protecting loved ones. Accepted with a firm but gentle hand, the standards are beautifully trained. Owners should provide an outlet for their dog’s upbeat athleticism and highly developed senses.

History

The standard is the ancestor of the original Schnauzer, miniature and giant. In Germany, the standard Schnauzer is known as Mittelsenauzer (“”Medium Schnauzer””).

During the long centuries before mechanized agriculture, farmers in the world attempted to breed versatile dogs to use as all-purpose helpers. Farmers from different regions discovered diverse solutions to the same challenge, resulting in diverse breeds such as the Carey Blue Terrier (Ireland), the Rat Terrier (United States) and the Belgian Tervurren. The German entry in search of an ideal farm dog was the breed that came to be known as Schnauzer.

A creation of the Middle Ages, the breed came of age in the strict-farm country of Bavaria. Like other barn and stable breeds of the world, the multitasking schnauzer made their bones as ratters, shepherds, protectors and hunters. The standards bear a superficial resemblance to many of Britain’s terrier breeds, but the breed is a product of continental shepherds and Working Dogs.

During the birth of Europe’s organized show scene in the 1870s, the “”wire-haired pinscher”” proved to be a flamboyant show dog. By the turn of the century, fundamentalists began to display the breed as Schnauzer (“”Whiskard Muzzle””). Schnauzers had been in the US since at least 1900, but it took them until the ’20s before clicking with pet owners. In 1933, Schnauzer’s AKC parent club was split into separate clubs for standard and minor breeds.

Breeding

The gestation period in lasts for 60-64 days The primary period of the reproductive cycle of the female is called Proestrus and goes on for around 9 days. During this time the females begin to draw in males. The subsequent part is the Estrus when the bitch is receptive to the male. It goes on for around 3 to 11 days. The third part is the Diestrus. Usually, it happens around day 14. In this period the bitch’s discharge changes for distinctive red and reaching its end. The vulva gets back to average, and she will no longer allow mating. The fourth part called the Anestrus. The time span between heat periods ordinarily keeps going around a half year. The litter size ranges between 6 to 8 puppies at a time’

Grooming

Standard Schnauzers require regular grooming. Washing beards and leg furnishings, dental care, keeping foreign materials from between foot pads, and nail trims are weekly tasks. SS have a double coat; if the harsh, wiry outer coat is clippered instead of hand-stripped, it loses its dirt-, bramble-, and water resistance, which results in more dirt and shedding of hair in the house. Clippering the coat also makes the coat soft, and each clippering lightens the coat color. Once a coat has been hand-stripped, it can be maintained over a long period of time simply by regular brushing and plucking out long hairs.

Training

Early socialization is a must in puppies. Standard Schnauzers are highly intelligent, clever and clever. They “get” an idea or exercise with very little repetition. A major problem with SS is over-training; After a few repetitions, they get bored and look at the trainer as if the trainer is an idiot. Because of their intelligence, they require training — and if their person does not teach them, they learn themselves, but the owner may not want to learn the dog.

Nutrition

Standard schnauzers are an energetic breed. They like to play with both their people and other dogs. They insist on being involved in family activities and do not perform well when left alone or tied up in the yard. Love with his people grows long. They excel in performance sports such as agility, barn hunting, shepherd and greed. As long as their person enjoys an activity, most SS will participate with enthusiasm.

Exercise

The standard schnauzer should perform well on high quality dog ​​food, whether it is commercially manufactured or prepared at home with the supervision and approval of your vet. Any diet should be appropriate for the age of the dog (puppy, adult, or senior). Some dogs are at risk of being overweight, so watch your dog’s calorie consumption and weight levels. Treatment training can be an important aid, but giving too much can lead to obesity. Know which human foods are safe for dogs and which are not. Contact your vet if you have any concerns about your dog’s weight or diet. Clean, fresh water must be available at all times.

Health

According to health surveys the Standard Schnauzer Club of America does every five years, the SS is a very healthy breed. Ss are mostly free from many health concerns that affect other breeds. Breeders are honest about testing for health concerns such as hip dysplasia and eye disorders, and record results with the OFA at the University of Missouri. New DNA testing for cardiomyopathy (which is a simple ineffective in SS) allows breeders to identify carriers and breed them into non-carriers to eliminate the expression of the disease in the breed.

Recommended health tests from the National Breed Club:

  • Hip evaluation
  • Ophthalmologist evaluation
  • DCM DNA Test
