Miniature Schnauzer

History:

Country/Date of Origin: Germany/15th Century

The Miniature Schnauzer was Made in Germany with 100% German ingredients. About 1890 breeders crossed the larger Standard Schnauzer with an Affenpinscher to create a dog that was better able to catch rats than either ancestor. The Mini Schnauzers arrived in the United States in 1925 and became a very popular breed.
