Don't mean to argue but are you sure they're purebread standards? Standards ONLY come in Salt & Pepper, no other color. It's the base of the breed. Minis, who people often confuse as standards, come in all black, S&P, black and silver and all white (often viewed as a defect by breeders), while giants come in all black and S&P (often referred to a P&S with giants).

Hi Pascale,

Are you sure about that on the standards? I saw a standard once which was pure black and the owner, who I believe was a breeder of them, confidently told me that her dog had Russian lineage......that is the only black standard I have ever seen and it was an absolutely beautiful specimen.

Thanks
Mike

There are two standard schnauzers that live in a house I pass by on one of my usual walks - both all black.

I just looked at the KC website for the breed standard and they recognise two colours: P&S and black.

This is a thread from 15 months ago though :)

The FCI (Europe) also recognise black as an acceptable colour variety for the (standard) schnauzer and dogs of this colour are bred and exhibited at shows worldwide:

How far back historically this colour goes may be debatable but it is now accepted by Kennel Clubs in the UK, USA and Europe.

Yes they are definitely pure BLACK standard schnauzers and are bred by a very reputable breeder who has shown at Crufts.
