Dog breed
The Schnauzer (German:[ˈʃnaʊ̯t͡sɐ]ⓘ) or Mittelschnauzer is a German breed of dog in the Pinscher and Schnauzer group.[1] It is characterised by an abundant bristly beard and whiskers, usually lighter than the coat.
It is one of three Schnauzer breeds, the others being the Giant Schnauzer or Riesenschnauzer, and the Miniature Schnauzer or Zwergschnauzer. In Germany it is an endangered breed, and is listed in category III of the Rote Liste of the Gesellschaft zur Erhaltung alter und gefährdeter Haustierrassen.[2]
Its development as a breed dates from the 1880s, in southern Germany.[3]: 40 It is a robust and squarely-built dog of medium size, of working or utility type; the coat may be salt-and-pepper or black.
A dog of this type was exhibited in Hanover in 1879; another was "Best in Show" at the Westminster Kennel Club in the United States in 1997.[4]
