Group IV—TERRIERS 
SCHNAUZER (STAN¬ 
DARD)—This old Ger¬ 
man breed dates from the 
fifteenth century. Schnau- 
zers, originally ratters and 
guard dogs, are brave, de¬ 
voted companions. They 
are compact, sturdy dogs, 
very alert and high-spirit¬ 
ed. The Standard Schnau- 
zer is from 15^4 to 19^4 
inches in height. The coat 
is stiff and wiry, with 
bristling eyebrows and 
whiskers, and the colors 
are pepper and salt, pure black, or black with tan. 
SCHNAUZER (MINIATURE) — The Miniature was developed 
from the Standard Schnauzer and the small German Affenpinscher. 
He stands from lOj /2 to 13J/2 inches, weighs about 14 or 15 pounds, and 
resembles the Standard, although 
varying more in color. The Mini¬ 
ature was exhibited as a distinct 
breed as early as 1899, and has been 
bred in this country since 1925. 
The coat is hard and wiry, the 
outer coat harsh, the undercoat 
close and soft. In color, the Minia¬ 
ture Schnauzer may be pepper and 
salt, light or dark and including the 
red pepper, pure black, and black 
and tan.
