Miniature Schnauzer puppies for sale across Canada

The Miniature Schnauzer was developed in Germany in the late 19th century by breeding the Standard Schnauzer with smaller breeds like the Affenpinscher and possibly the Miniature Poodle. The goal was to create a smaller, more manageable farm dog that retained the Schnauzer’s ratting ability, guarding instinct, and distinctive appearance. Originally used for vermin control on farms and later as watchdogs, Miniature Schnauzers became beloved companions thanks to their lively personality, intelligence, and family-friendly temperament. They are the only terrier-type breed not developed in the British Isles, making them uniquely German in origin.
