Breed history
To this day, the origin of the breed could not be restored in detail. It is only known that these tetrapods come from Bavaria (Bavaria), and their ancestor is a pinscher. Initially, Schnauzer was used as a catcher of rats and mice (in this occupation he had no equal). Over time, these dogs began to start as a companion and just a beautiful pet.
In Germany, in the 70s of the 19th century, representatives of this breed were called “wire haired pinschers”. In 1879, a landmark for the history of Schnauzer, a dog named Schnauzer won the dog show - he gave the name to the entire breed.

These three species differ in the parameters of their representatives. 1st - medium in size, 2nd - miniature, 3rd - large.
The build of dogs is quite athletic, angular. The body is of medium length with a slightly sloping back. The head can be compared to a rectangle on which triangular ears are set high, facing forward and slightly hanging. The neck is rather long, graceful and noble. Chest medium latitude. Thick tail tapers at the end.
Depending on the subspecies, the parameters of these dogs also differ:
Growth ranges from 30 to 70 cm.

The hair of the animal is very tough, thick and straight, with a dense undercoat. Curly and soft hair does not fit into the standard and is recognized as a defect.
Eyebrows, beards and mustaches are the key distinguishing feature of the Schnauzer description, which is created by cutting hair in these places.
