Hi from Archie, I'm an adorable 'Toy Schnauzer'

[Suzi-Tam]

Maybe frowned upon by Schnauzer enthusiasts but hey I think I'm cute and mummy loves me.
My parents (doggy ones) are American imports from Maximillian lines where they are trying to bring back some of the dying colours. My human mummy has been asked whether I'm a Shitzu, a Yorkshire/Tibetan terrier Nope I'm all Schnauzer and true to form I'm a big dog in a little body


Mummy took me to puppy school...really? I have better things to do

Welcome to the forum - forgive me for asking but is a 'Toy Schnauzer' the same as a 'Teapot Schnauzer'? I saw a teapot version once and I couldn't believe how small they were, they still have the Schnauzer look but just in a smaller package

I'm sure you will find answers to all your questions regards Schnauzers here.

Hi Mike, thank you for the welcome,
No the 'toy' is bigger than the 'teacup' (kinda like teapot tho...sounds cuter) and normally weighs up to 10lbs. Archie's mum was a tiny toy & dad a toy. Though he was only 2.6kg at 14 weeks he seems to have doubled in size in the two since so maybe he takes after his grandparents lol More of him to love so that doesn't bother me, it was his colour that I really loved and his temprement.

Welcome to you and Archie, very cute, looks like you are going to have your hands full in that second photo.

Hi Oscar...he's a character. Shows me up at puppy classes but thinking he just has a sense of humour He's only 4 months but was house trained at 14 weeks, done three sleepovers, two of which were 2 nights, no problems or accidents and just settles back home as if he's never been away. We have a bedroom routine which I made sure my mum follows (under threat that she can't have him again lol) and it seems to have worked for him.
