If you want a dog that quickly adapts to its surroundings and family routines, a Miniature Schnauzer is just the breed for you.

The breed has two layers of fur, which consists of an undercoat as well as a slightly longer upper coat. The dog's fur is hard. The long coat forms some fine eyebrows and a kind of beard, hence the name Schnauzer. These features give the dog a very special expression. The special coat of the Miniature Schnauzer requires a lot of care. The long coat should be trimmed regularly in order to avoid too many filters and to give the dog a more well-groomed appearance. If the coat is not trimmed, it will, in addition to an untidy appearance, shed a lot, which can be annoying for both the dog and its owner. If you are not a professional dog groomer yourself, it is recommended that you use one, as it is a long and challenging process to trim the dog correctly. To avoid the coat from filtering, it is also recommended that you comb the wool of the dog with a special brush, and that you regularly review the coat for filters.
