Miniature Schnauzer (definite introduction)
[ Miniature Schnauzer body structure]
The Miniature Schnauzer has a strong body structure, a body close to a square, that is, the height and body length are about the same, and there is plenty of bone. The shoulder height range is 12 inches to 14 inches, and it feels a bit toy-like.
[Miniature Schnauzer's hair]
Schnauzers generally have a double layer of hair, including a crisp and hard outer layer of bristly hair and a deep undercoat. The head, neck, ears, chest, tail and body need to be stripped. If it is a show-level Schnauzer, the coat on the body must be of sufficient length and completely cover the neck, ears and head. [Miniature Schnauzer Colors]
The recognized Schnauzer colors are salt and pepper, black silver and pure black. At the same time, no matter what the color, the pigmentation of the skin must be very uniform, that is to say, white or pink patches appearing in all parts of the skin are not allowed. Bad color: pure white or dogs with white stripes, white stains, and white patches (except for black dogs with small white freckles on their chests).
[Miniature Schnauzer head]
Schnauzer ears are located high on the top of the head, with the inner edge vertically extending and the outer edge roughly shaped like a bell. If the ears are not cropped, they will be small, V-shaped, and folded over the top of the head (button ears). The eyes are small, dark brown, and set deeply. The eyes are oval-shaped and have sharp gaze. Disadvantages: Light, large, and oversized eyes are all disadvantages. Ears, if cropped, should be of the same shape and length, with sharp corners. Their length is commensurate with the size of the head and no excessive length is allowed.

The claws are short and round (cat's feet), the pads are thick and black. Toes are arched,close. They have rich arms and plenty of bone. The moderately deep chest is located between the two forelimbs. Elbows hug the body, Disadvantage: Easy on the elbows.
[Miniature Schnauzer hind limbs]
Schnauzer hind limbs have strong and powerful thighs. In the standard stance, there is enough angle for the hock ends to extend beyond the tail. The hindquarters do not appear larger or higher than the shoulders. The hind ankles are short, perpendicular to the ground when in a standard stance, and parallel to each other when viewed from the back. And Miniature Schnauzers often have sickle legs, cow legs, and O-shaped legs on their hind limbs.
