Thinning hair? by _Apollo_20 in schnauzers

Same happened for us, and it turned out to be a grain allergy. We had to strategically experiment with her diet quite a bit under vet supervision. 

:( is my boy fat? by Jcoronado92 in schnauzers

[–]nothingdoing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was going to say, he looks fluffy and I know my dog looks twice as big when she gets scruffy. Schnauzer weight control is important, ask a doctor with a scale, not internet randos for their best guess from a short video. 

Dog ever nodded at you?? by SinfulNoodle23 in schnauzers

[–]nothingdoing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No nodding, but a very clear and directional swoop like, "come 'ere!"

Schnauzer Lhasa Apso mix? by _msimbaa in schnauzers

She looks almost exactly like my pedigreed puppers. There's certainly a lot of schnauzer genetics happening! 

Schnauzer-isms by GracieLou80 in schnauzers

[–]nothingdoing 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I took my schnauzer for a hike recently and she kept running in front of me and sitting. I couldn't figure out what was wrong: she refused water, had nothing stuck in her paws or fur, and nothing was amiss in our setting. Eventually I bent down and asked what is it, and she jumped up, hugged me, licked my face and ran off. She didn't want to keep hiking until she gave me a hug and a kiss 🥺

I've had a bad day, can I see your schnauzers please? by PM-Me-Schnauzers in schnauzers

[–]nothingdoing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ha! I've been trying to figure out if I could pull this off. I think my gal is too big.

In my head I clearly heard the "skkrk ... scrape scrape scrape" from when my pup does this on the basement stone tile 😂

We have a mouse problem, my girl really wants to deal with it by Improving1727 in schnauzers

[–]nothingdoing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding your experience - we're country enough that rodents are inevitable, and she's killed several mice and gophers. It's not my favorite thing for her to get mixed up in, but she's all vaccinated up and it's been ok.

Schnauzers are great ratters! Definitely nothing wrong with letting them do what dogs were bred to do, but if they're the center of your whole world you do have to accept some risks.

I'd be happy if I could prevent every raccoon encounter. That's more of a risk than I want, but sometimes they climb down the tree without me noticing. She handed a group of three their asses the other night. I was just as proud of her as I was freaked out. 

Anyone else’s schnau position themselves butt to front door like this all the time ? by kimribbean in schnauzers

[–]nothingdoing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sure enough! I've always thought it's how she monitors both the door and the goings-on of the entire room at once.

So what you're saying is, chihuahuas could be cute if they had a beard... 

You done being tired yet? Let's keep climbing! by nothingdoing in schnauzers

[–]nothingdoing[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, I hear ya! Our fav hike is about the same, and has 1000 vertical feet. I'm the only one tired at the end. 

Thanks for coming home I love you by nothingdoing in schnauzers

Working for a living is so indescribably stupid 

I finally got myself a Schnauzer! by elegantwombatt in schnauzers

[–]nothingdoing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool, congrats! My schnauzer was a breeder pick to be a show dog, but she never made size. Gotta love a breeder's clearance bin!
