Hi Everyone
Emily & Michael here, from Hastings, East Sussex.
First time schnauzer owners and loving (nearly) every minute of it this past year. I say nearly as I'd be lying if I said my boys dont test our patience .. One a stubborn baby, the other crazy stuck in hypo puppy mode, both BARK BARK BARK .. we're working hard on that though.. my trainer Brian is my hero thank god
We've Sidney (Black) 11mths, picked at 2wks and came home at 8wks , and Rupert (Pepper & Salt) 9mths, he was 12wks when he came home, both beautiful boys with faces that could melt the coldest hearts! Temperaments so different which we love, such personalities!
Here to gather advice from all you guru's and share our ongoing experiences with anyone that needs it or wants to listen. They bring us undescribable joy, which I'm sure you can all understand!
They're crate trained inc crated at night, travel perfect in car, get on with cats, well, 1 cat is their master the other is a grumpy cow who doesn't like anyone, home-made RAW fed, have been since pup, very little processed treats etc, keep it as natural as we can, both neutered, both hoovers, both obsessed with my flipping plants!!
I say bad a barking but not entirely true, we're quite lucky as its only at certain times but those times feel excessive! Main issue meeting other dogs, to the point we didnt, avoided it until our trainer gave us the confidence and training to handle it. Early days but massive improvement. Sidney not too bad, Rupert however is in a world of his owner. The whole walk was filled with whimpering & high pitched squeals, patience & hard work we're making progress though
Anyways, I'll leave it there for now and have a browse through threads. Looking forward to sharing and taking tips and generally telling everyone about our angels
Bye for now!

Hi Emily welcome to the forum gosh you have double trouble having two. I have Gino who is 20mths I got him to ease my pain after losing my girl of nearly 13 in April 2017. Gino is also crate trained Breeder did well he still goes into his crate overnight his choice but is good for us as we go away a lot with him . Love your photo

Thanks Christine!
They can be a handful thats for sure, mainly due to their anti-social behaviour though & trying to train 2 dogs 2 different things at the same time it a task in itself! Once we reign it in they'll make a fine pair. they're already the most adorable duo (majority of the time!)

Hi Emily,
Good to see Sidney and Rupert. I have 2 mini's too ( both P&S bitches) but have 11 months between them and can't even begin to think what it must be like having them so close together
They sound typical mini schnauzer pups and I'm sure once you get them through adolescence it'll be plain sailing after that.

Welcome to the Forum
Sounds like you have your hands full with the two boys but I'm sure it will work out fine as they mature.
Lovely photo too!

Re: NEW MEMBER EAST SUSSEX
Ah, after just reading your post on the differences between Rupert and Sidney, now I get to see them too! What a fine pair of good looking boys you have, it makes the other post about their characters even better
