Because of their small size they may need to be taken outside more often, but miniature schnauzers are intelligent dogs and usually catch on quickly. Crate training and paper training, two of the most popular training methods are designed to teach your dog that going outside is the best place to do his business. A watchful eye and a positive attitude will go a long way in teaching your dog what is expected of him.</span><p id="intelliTxt" itxtvisited="1"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> - Dog Lover</span><br /></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496014957329404330-4977838890962889218?l=miniature-schnauzer-doglover.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dog Lover 3http://www.blogger.com/profile/09799446593938557700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496014957329404330.post-27394911096965633242009-12-12T05:29:00.000-08:002009-12-12T05:29:00.302-08:00<p style="font-family: arial;" itxtvisited="1">Check out potential breeders very carefully, being sure to ask if they are members of breed clubs, specialty clubs or obedience clubs.

To have a litter of <span style="font-weight: bold;">puppies</span> requires a lot of work and effort. Some think having a litter will get their ‘investment’ back or be a quick way to make some money. This is not wise considering the number of poor quality, casually bred members of the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> breed</span> there are already. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Breeding</span> should not be taken casually. Serious breeders give a lot of thought to heredity of conformation, health and temperament.

Some might hang onto some of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">puppies</span> for a while to see how they develop. The <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeder </span>will ask you questions to determine what type of temperament you are looking for. Some <span style="font-weight: bold;">puppies </span>tend to be more outgoing and/or boisterous and some are calmer. The <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeder</span> has spent time with the litter and has the opportunity to observe the individual temperaments. The <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeder</span> also has more experience in placing <span style="font-weight: bold;">puppies</span> than the potential buyer who probably purchases a <span style="font-weight: bold;">puppy</span> just a handful of times in their lives.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer </span>- Dog Lover</span> </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496014957329404330-1661533428617357620?l=miniature-schnauzer-doglover.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dog Lover 3http://www.blogger.com/profile/09799446593938557700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496014957329404330.post-88179418342565521642009-07-25T09:35:00.000-07:002009-07-25T09:35:00.405-07:00<span style="font-family:arial;"></span><span style="font-family:arial;">A responsible <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeder</span> is extremely choosey as to what he considers to be <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeding</span> quality. The rest of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">puppies</span> will be sold as pets most likely with an agreement to alter them prior to receiving the AKC registration. If someone has plans to <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span>, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeder</span> should be approached for a <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeding</span> quality <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span>. That would require different stipulations and the <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeder</span> would possibly require you to co-own the <span style="font-weight: bold;">dog</span> with them or consult with them on <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeding</span> decisions. This is to help the aspiring <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeder</span> to learn and have a mentor.

You might be asked questions about yourself and your family, the type of home you live in (apartment, townhouse, house, etc.), if the yard is fenced, previous <span style="font-weight: bold;">dogs</span> you have owned among other things. This may seem personal but the <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeder</span> has a genuine interest in placing the <span style="font-weight: bold;">puppy</span> in the best home. The serious <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeder</span> considers this an adoption process, not the selling of a product.

The <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeder</span> will hopefully provide you with written instructions on <span style="font-weight: bold;">feeding</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">training </span>and care of your new <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer puppy</span>. They should show you proof of eye exams on the parents and the <span style="font-weight: bold;">puppies</span> at eight weeks of age. A serious <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeder</span> will usually provide you with a written contract and a warranty against development of hereditary problems. This benefits both buyer and seller. Serious breeders will be willing to take the <span style="font-weight: bold;">dog </span>back at any point if you are no longer able to care for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">dog</span>.

There is nothing wrong with mixed <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeds</span>, but these <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeders</span> are simply creating a product and marketing it with claims such as non-<span style="font-weight: bold;">shedding</span> and ‘best of both <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeds</span>’. They use the marketing term ‘designer <span style="font-weight: bold;">dog</span>’. Simple knowledge of genetics will show that the claim that the <span style="font-weight: bold;">dog</span> will get the ‘best’ of both breeds is without merit. There is no control over which genes the parents give and it could just as well be the worst of both parents. They claim the mix will be healthier than purebreds because it is not doubling up on genes of both <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeds</span>. It is just as possible that both parents happen to have the same bad gene for cataracts, for example, whether they are </span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"> or <span style="font-weight: bold;">Poodle</span>. There is also the claim by many, including some veterinarians, of ‘hybrid vigor’. This again, is not scientifically accurate. The term hybrid refers to the crossing of two different species, not two different <span style="font-weight: bold;">dog breeds</span>. They are still canine familiaris. And please remember that veterinarians are not trained in school to be genetic or <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span> experts. However, if they are a serious <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeder</span> an individual may have gained practical experience.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> - Dog Lover</span><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496014957329404330-7142259823920831840?l=miniature-schnauzer-doglover.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dog Lover 3http://www.blogger.com/profile/09799446593938557700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496014957329404330.post-66521931100267950272009-07-17T09:28:00.000-07:002009-07-17T09:28:01.085-07:00<span style="font-family: arial;"></span><span style="font-family: arial;">As with the White <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span>, this pattern did not represent the ideal the originators of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed </span>had in mind.

The Standard <span style="font-weight: bold;">Schnauzer</span> has never come in the white color. Our history of the evolvement of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span> indicate that there probably were introductions of other <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeds</span> to reduce the size of the original<span style="font-weight: bold;"> breed</span>. The originators of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span> recommended not breeding the whites and parti-colors that appeared. This was to preserve the <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span> as it was intended. The original German standard for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span> did not include whites; thus, the US standard stays true to the wishes of the originators of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> - Dog Lover</span> </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496014957329404330-3527660138628564978?l=miniature-schnauzer-doglover.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dog Lover 3http://www.blogger.com/profile/09799446593938557700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496014957329404330.post-32234048277340051852009-07-13T09:23:00.000-07:002009-07-13T09:23:00.257-07:00<span style="font-family:arial;"></span><span style="font-family:arial;">When the Salt and Peppers are machine-clipped, the characteristic banded hairs disappear and they become a solid shade of gray, which can vary from a very light gray to dark slate gray. Some people will refer to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> that have a very light gray under<span style="font-weight: bold;">coat</span> as ‘Silver’, but they are officially Salt and Pepper. When a lighter Salt and Pepper is machine-clippered, the resulting under<span style="font-weight: bold;">coat</span> can look almost silver. Once the <span style="font-weight: bold;">dog</span> has been clippered, what is left is the solid under<span style="font-weight: bold;">coat</span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer </span>- Dog Lover</span> </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496014957329404330-3223404827734005185?l=miniature-schnauzer-doglover.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dog Lover 3http://www.blogger.com/profile/09799446593938557700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496014957329404330.post-43555739603632829582009-07-11T09:18:00.000-07:002009-07-11T09:18:00.680-07:00<span style="font-family: arial;">N</span><span style="font-family: arial;">o. There is no recognized <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span> called the ‘Toy <span style="font-weight: bold;">Schnauzer</span>’ or ‘Micro-Mini’. The <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span> was developed to be a smaller version of the Standard <span style="font-weight: bold;">Schnauzer</span>, but not so small as to be a toy <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span>. Some commercial <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeders</span> are producing <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzers</span> that are less than 10” tall. This is a disqualification according to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span> standard. Sometimes the term ‘Toy’ is used to describe them. The ‘Toy’ <span style="font-weight: bold;">Schnauzer</span> is not a separate breed; it is simply an undersized <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span>.

Your best bet to find a healthy, well-adjusted <span style="font-weight: bold;">puppy</span> is from a serious <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeder </span>who is knowledgeable of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span> and the health problems commonly seen. Neither the <span style="font-weight: bold;">AMSC</span> nor the <span style="font-weight: bold;">AKC</span> (<span style="font-weight: bold;">American Kennel Club</span>) regulates <span style="font-weight: bold;">breeders</span>. An <span style="font-weight: bold;">AKC</span> registration does not guarantee quality.

It does not specify any particular weight for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span>. That will depend on size and bone structure. A <span style="font-weight: bold;">dog</span> measuring 12" to 14" will be 11 to 20 lbs. Some breeders are producing <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer </span>that are under 10" tall. This is a disqualification according to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span> standard. Sometimes the term 'toy' is used to describe them. The 'Toy' <span style="font-weight: bold;">Schnauzer</span> is not a separate <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span>, it is simply an undersized <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> - Dog Lover</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496014957329404330-2730709219704011871?l=miniature-schnauzer-doglover.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dog Lover 3http://www.blogger.com/profile/09799446593938557700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496014957329404330.post-91525461377695968652009-07-05T08:40:00.000-07:002009-07-08T09:12:41.190-07:00<span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzers shed </span>very little.

He is friendly, intelligent and willing to please. He should never be overaggressive or timid." The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> is generally sweet, loving and loyal. They often have a favorite person, even though they will love the whole family. They will bark when someone comes to the door. Properly trained, though, they will stop when the owner indicates that the person at the door is welcome and not a threat. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzers</span> are generally intelligent and learn quickly. Many have excelled in formal obedience trials and are seen more and more in agility competitions.

You want <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> to have a diet high in nutrients that will help him to grow as healthily and disease-free as possible. Many of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">dog</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">foods</span> are made of "fillers". When checking the ingredients of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">dog</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">food</span> you are considering purchasing, make sure one or more of the first 5 ingredients listed are some kind of meat. By meat(proper meat) - not meat by products.<br /><br />Many <span style="font-weight: bold;">dog food</span> companies will list one meat, then corn, then wheat, then soy. What you have in the first four ingredients consists of one quarter meat and three quarters grains (grains are corn, wheat and soy, and these are fillers). They may fill your <span style="font-weight: bold;">dog</span> up and make him think he's full but he's not getting the nutrition he needs. Your local vet can probably help you in choosing a <span style="font-weight: bold;">food</span> that is good for your <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> - Dog Lover</span><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496014957329404330-2028731864633887927?l=miniature-schnauzer-doglover.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dog Lover 3http://www.blogger.com/profile/09799446593938557700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496014957329404330.post-34294837339306309292009-06-18T09:00:00.000-07:002009-06-22T22:42:13.399-07:00<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature schnauzers</span> are a <span style="font-weight: bold;">healthy</span> breed, and are not usually plagued by very many <span style="font-weight: bold;">health</span> problems. One of the biggest problems with <span style="font-weight: bold;">miniature schnauzer</span> seems to be controlling their weight. But regular exercise and proper nutrition will easily control this problem. One particular nutrition related problem that is occuring with increasing frequency in <span style="font-weight: bold;">miniature schnauzers</span> is pancreatitis. <br /><br />It is not clearly understood, but appears to be associated with the fact that many <span style="font-weight: bold;">miniature schnauzers</span> have high blood serum lipids (fats). Symptoms generally include lack of appetite, repetitive vomiting and diarrhea, abdominal pain, lethargy and depression. It is very much an emergency situation which requires immediate veterinary care to prevent more serious illness or even death. It can be prevented by maintaining your adult <span style="font-weight: bold;">miniature schnauzer</span> on a lower fat diet. <br /><br />Another potential life-threatening problem is hyper-sensitivity to vaccines. Symptoms include facial swelling and extreme itchiness, and possible breathing problems. Vomiting and diarrhea can also occur.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> - Dog Lover</span><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496014957329404330-3429483733930630929?l=miniature-schnauzer-doglover.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dog Lover 3http://www.blogger.com/profile/09799446593938557700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496014957329404330.post-41678965565176773472009-06-16T08:54:00.000-07:002009-06-16T09:00:02.505-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KX3Bt9jzPy0/SjfBTD-uUlI/AAAAAAAAAKE/WqiYVozA4Qo/s1600-h/Minature-Schnauzer-.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KX3Bt9jzPy0/SjfBTD-uUlI/AAAAAAAAAKE/WqiYVozA4Qo/s200/Minature-Schnauzer-.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347955615755817554" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Temperament</span> of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span>:<br /><br />The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> can have troubles with other <span style="font-weight: bold;">dogs</span>, however if properly trained and socialized, this <span style="font-weight: bold;">breed</span> can do all right.

All <span style="font-weight: bold;">colors</span> have uniform skin pigmentation, i.e. no white or pink skin patches shall appear anywhere on the <span style="font-weight: bold;">dog</span>.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Salt and Pepper</span> - The typical salt and pepper <span style="font-weight: bold;">color</span> of the top<span style="font-weight: bold;">coat</span> results from the combination of black and white banded hairs and solid black and white unbanded hairs, with the banded hairs predominating. Acceptable are all shades of salt and pepper, from light to dar</span><span style="font-family:arial;">k mixtures with tan shadings permissible in the banded or unbanded hair of the top<span style="font-weight: bold;">coat</span>. In salt and pepper <span style="font-weight: bold;">dogs</span>, the salt and pepper mixture fades out to light gray or silver white in the eyebrows, whiskers, cheeks, under throat, inside ears, across chest, under tail, leg furnishings, and inside hind legs. It may or may not also fade out on the underbody. However, if so, the lighter underbody hair is not to rise higher on the sides of the body than the front elbows.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Black and Silver </span>- The black and silver generally follows the same pattern as the salt and pepper. The entire salt and pepper section must be black. The black <span style="font-weight: bold;">color</span> in the topcoat of the black and silver is a true rich <span style="font-weight: bold;">color</span> with black under<span style="font-weight: bold;">coat</span>. The stripped portion is free from any fading or brown tinge and the underbody should be dark.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Black</span> - Black is the only solid <span style="font-weight: bold;">color</span> allowed. Ideally, the black <span style="font-weight: bold;">color </span>in the topcoat is a true rich glossy solid <span style="font-weight: bold;">color</span> with the under<span style="font-weight: bold;">coat</span> being less intense, a soft matting shade of black. This is natural and should not be penalized in any way. The stripped portion is free from any fading or brown tinge. The scissored and clippered areas have lighter shades of black.

White and parti may also be found, though these colors are not recognized in some countries. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Schnauzers</span> are often described as non-shedding <span style="font-weight: bold;">dogs</span>, and while this is not entirely true, their shedding is minimal and generally unnoticeable. They are characterized by a long head with bushy beard, mustache and eyebrows; teeth that meet in a "scissor bite"; oval and dark colored eyes; and v-shaped, natural forward-folding ears. (When cropped, the ears point straight upward and come to a sharp point.) Their tails are naturally thin and short, and may be docked (where permitted). They will also have very straight, rigid front legs, and feet that are short and round (so-called "cat feet") with thick, black pads.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> - Dog Lover</span><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496014957329404330-2033687332630658227?l=miniature-schnauzer-doglover.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dog Lover 3http://www.blogger.com/profile/09799446593938557700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496014957329404330.post-4870866292765338712009-05-17T05:27:00.000-07:002009-05-19T10:41:49.138-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KX3Bt9jzPy0/ShLvTOPwmOI/AAAAAAAAAEU/-qnzvhC6Gy4/s1600-h/sb10064664s-001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KX3Bt9jzPy0/ShLvTOPwmOI/AAAAAAAAAEU/-qnzvhC6Gy4/s200/sb10064664s-001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337591621908207842" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> is a breed of small <span style="font-weight: bold;">dog</span> of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Schnauzer</span> type that originated in Germany in the mid-to-late 19th century. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzers</span> developed from crosses between the Standard <span style="font-weight: bold;">Schnauzer</span> and one or more smaller breeds such as the Poodle or Affenpinscher. The breed remains one of the most popular, and as of 2008 is the 11th most popular breed in the U.S.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />The earliest records surrounding development of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature </span></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Schnauzer</span> in Germany come from the late 1800s. They were originally bred to be farm <span style="font-weight: bold;">dogs</span> in Germany, to keep the rats and other vermin out of the barn. In the breed's earliest stages, several small breeds were employed in crosses to bring down the size of the well-established Standard <span style="font-weight: bold;">Schnauzer</span>, with the goal of creating a duplicate in miniature. Crossing to other breeds, such as the Affenpinscher, Poodle and Miniature Pinscher, had the side effect of introducing colors that were not considered acceptable to the ultimate goal — and as breeders worked towards the stabilization of the gene pool, mismarked particolors (mixed colors) and white puppies were removed from breeding programs.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />The first recorded <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> was in 1888, and the first exhibition was in 1899. With their bold courage, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> was originally used for guarding herds, small farms, and families. As time passed, they were also used to hunt rats, because they appeared to have a knack for it, and its small size was perfect to get into tight places to catch them.</span> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KX3Bt9jzPy0/ShAEr45kN-I/AAAAAAAAACs/OGZfFd_MqfM/s1600-h/9001116.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KX3Bt9jzPy0/ShAEr45kN-I/AAAAAAAAACs/OGZfFd_MqfM/s200/9001116.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336770710488758242" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />The AKC accepted registration of the new breed in 1926, two years after they were introduced to the United States. The American Kennel Club groups this breed with the Terriers as it was developed for a similar purpose and has a similar character to the terrier breeds of the Britain and Ireland. The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer </span>was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1948. The United Kingdom Kennel Club however, does not accept the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> as a true Terrier because it does not originate from the terrier breeds of the British Isles. Like the Tibetan Terrier and Boston Terrier it lists the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> in the Utility group for shows run under the UK Kennel Club rules such as Crufts. The FCI accepts the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Schnauzer</span> breeds but, again, does not list the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer</span> as a Terrier.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Miniature Schnauzer</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> - Dog Lover</span><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496014957329404330-487086629276533871?l=miniature-schnauzer-doglover.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dog Lover 3http://www.blogger.com/profile/09799446593938557700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496014957329404330.post-61774376525372369242009-05-17T05:12:00.000-07:002009-05-19T10:22:11.272-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KX3Bt9jzPy0/ShAB_imGt5I/AAAAAAAAACc/y5pOKo6Rkxk/s1600-h/Schnauzer-big.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 332px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KX3Bt9jzPy0/ShAB_imGt5I/AAAAAAAAACc/y5pOKo6Rkxk/s400/Schnauzer-big.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336767749564053394" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">Welcome to my <span style="font-weight: bold;">Miniature Schnauzer dog</span> blog.
