			<description><![CDATA[The life expectancy of the Standard Schnauzer is around 12-14 years. There are a number of health problems to look out for, although by and large this is a relatively healthy breed. Some of the health issues that may affect the Standard Schnauzer include thyroid problems, cancer, HD, and cataracts. The parents of the Standard Schnauzer puppy should have OFA and CERF certificates.

			<description>The Schnauzer is a German breed, which in the 15th &amp; 16th centuries must have been in high favor as a household companion, for his portrait appears in many paintings of the period. A portrait of a Standard Schnauzer appears several times in the works of Albrecht Durer, an artist, between the years of 1492 and 1504. 



As far as can be determined, the Schnauzer originated in the crossing of the black German Poodle and the gray wolf spitz upon wirehaired Pinscher stock. From the Pinscher  ...</description>

Urinary Tract Infections - Urolithiasis 

occur at a higher rate in Miniature Schnauzers than other breeds. Clinical signs include frequent urination and blood may be present in the urine. Untreated, they can lead to bladder stones. If severe enough this may cause urinary blockage, which is a medical emergency. To muddy the waters, this problem can occur in dogs for reasons unrelated to heredity. Treatment involves prescription diets, antibiotics and/or surgery. Few breeders would  ...</description>

			<description>Hand stripping



There is only one correct grooming pattern for a Miniature Schnauzer, but there are two distinctly different ways to achieve it. Whether hand-stripping, which is necessary if you wish to show, or machine-clipping, the overall look will be the same-only coat texture and color will differ.

Basically there are two approaches to stripping. One involves dealing with the entire body in one or two sessions, as would be done in clipping the pet. The other requires stripping in &quot;sections&quot;  ...</description>

			<description>Miniature Schnauzer 



-the breed originated in the late 1800's in Germany as a smaller version of the Standard Schnauzer that could live more easily as a house pet but still hunt vermin. 



-you will find that the typical well-bred Miniature Schnauzer is relatively small in size but in no way toyish or delicate. When you pick him up you will discover he is sturdy, heavy, and muscular... a ruggedness combined with the elegance and beauty of a pure-bred. He makes an excellent companion because  ...</description>

			<description>The schnauzer is an exciting animal to see and own. The clean, sharp beauty of this breed is impressive. The personality of the schnauzer makes him a joy to live with. The schnauzer is truly the most versatile of all breeds. He is small enough for a woman to handle, yet large enough for the biggest of men. He is robust and sturdy,enough to be a working dog, yet small enough in stature, so as not to be overwhelming. His ideal size, combined with this breed’s properly maintained coat has that minimal  ...</description>
