Standard Schnauzer puppies for sale in Prince Edward Island

Breed history

The Standard Schnauzer is the original and oldest of the three Schnauzer breeds, with roots tracing back to 15th-century Germany. Originally bred as a versatile working farm dog, they were prized for their ability to guard property, herd livestock, and control vermin. Their distinctive beard and wiry coat made them easily recognizable and well-suited to working in harsh conditions. Over the centuries, the Standard Schnauzer earned a reputation for intelligence, loyalty, and protective instincts, making them both capable working dogs and devoted family companions.
