I really want a standard schnauzer but I'm 63. What I'm concerned about is meeting their exercise needs. I help take care of my son's 20lb dog who likes to explore the backyard everyday. I have nearly an acre enclosed. He's fine with that. My question is would a standard schnauzer get enough exercise on a daily basis going in the fenced in yard a couple of times daily? I like the standard because it is a vigilant watch dog and even has a little bit of protection potential compared to the mini and they appear to be playful and interactive. I loved playing with my dachshund nearly daily. He loved to "fight" and would never let go of the rope toy even if you lifted him off the ground. I got good exercise myself but since I am an caretaker of an adult autistic child that doesn't like to take walks with me I need to mostly exercise a dog in my very larger fenced in backyard. It would be only occasional walks here in the country side. Any advice? I am also considering Airedales, Lhasa Apso, German pinschers and mini Schnauzers. I have experience with many breeds, large and small, but not a single one of them ever made a good watch dog that would alert you to someone outside of your home including my fun loving dachshund.
I have a 15 plus-year-old mini schnauzer who loves the snow even though he is declining he loves to go outside in the winter for his walks and to his business
He is adorable. My wife and I recently adopted a black standard Schnauzer from the APL. He is a little over a year old. He loves the snow. A very entertaining and intelligent breed. Our dog ran around the living room and the kitchen barking at thunder. Your dog is funny reacting to the snow. Dogs are man's best friend. We laugh at the things our dog does. I am training him and it takes a lot of patience. Best wishes to you and your family. Enjoy your pet or family member.
Rich Bok Thank you! Yes I agree that dogs are mans best friend. Ours is definitely a family member. The first year took a lot of patience. They are smart and a bit stubborn. I love hearing your dog ran around barking at thunder. They are so funny and a joy to watch. Their faces are the cutest. Take care.
@@carlapeterson3683 I will and best wishes to you and your family everyday. Stay healthy during this virus crisis. At least our dogs provide us with a positive attitude and a lot of fun and love.
This is absolutely hilarious. Kinda how I feel stepping out in the first snow except I know better than to eat it. My niece has a mini schnauzer named Penny and I adore her. They're such loving dogs. Thanks for sharing. Happy holidays 🐾🦃🐾 ⛄🐾🦌🐾🎄
Aaww. He's adorable and has a beautiful black coat. I've been trying to get a schnauzer for months now but it's so hard to get one in my area. And if you do find them, they charge you an arm and a leg. In my area you can find all kinds of bully breeds everywhere. I like bully breeds, but I have fallen in love with the schnauzers and won't give up until I find one. Soon I hope.
Carmen Vazquez Thank you! Standard Schnauzers are really hard to find. We actually went out of state to pick ours up and some can cost a lot of money. I’m not sure why they are so hard to find. I hope you find one soon. They are such a smart, loyal breed.
@@carlapeterson3683 I finally found one. A mini schnauzer, same thing, smaller package I say. But yes. I do have to go out of state to get her in a month. Got her at a good price and only about 2hrs from me, so not bad. Can't wait to bring her home.
Guillermo Diaz Texas would be too hot for my schnauzer. ☀️ I bet your dog would love the snow ( probably would act the same way if he/she got the chance).
I read in the comments that you had a mini before? We had a mini for 15 years. Are standards pretty much like bigger minis, or are they different? Thanks!
In my opinion, they seem to be a bit different. It could be because he is quite a bit larger. Our mini was like a small human where "Cash" isn't. He is just an awesome dog. He definitely doesn't bark as much and has a ton more energy. He is more social. He loves to go exploring, camping, fishing, swimming, running and over all, way more active. It could just be due to each dogs personality. I have enjoyed having both.
Scar Face The size is one difference. My dog weighs about 58lbs and I believe a giant male is around 95lbs. I also think the standard has a little more energy and has a very strong temperament. They are the original standard. I don’t really know too much more about the differences. I use to have a mini schnauzer and My standard is strong willed. He was a little harder to train.
Scar Face yes I believe that is because they are the original breed. That is good news for me. Unfortunately my mini only lived to be 8. Hoping to have a lot longer time with my standard.
Heather Miller I know the struggle is real when trying to find a breeder for standards. We found ours in Idaho. My husband did a lot of searching. Wish I had an answer. Good luck in your search.
Kim Lowe He definitely was nervous. This was his first experience with snow. Definitely felt strange under his feet. This is his favorite weather now 😁
Kim Lowe I had a mini before our standard. Standards have a lot more energy and enjoy being very active. You can’t go wrong with either breed. They are the best dogs.
@@carlapeterson3683 my mini is very youthful for his age. He acts like a puppy, though slowed down a bit. But still active loves walkies and can jump up to the door handle.
He says - you first. Where are my boots and jacket. Dad, I think I can hold it a bit longer - maybe this will be gone. Why doesn’t he put his boots and coat on and go outside with him. Seems stupid to stand there with the door open and not go with him. And it is still snowing. It’s got to be scary especially when you can’t see the steps or drop offs, etc. we always made paths and little side shoots so they wouldn’t go on the path - for our dogs on first snows. We enjoyed going out with them, they were so hilarious. Some dogs will go on that deck because they have to go so bad and the urine will go in the boards and stink to high heaven in hot weather. Personally, I think he needs to take him down off the deck. Sorry ….
My little standard Snauzcher is in heaven. This one looks just like him.. they are such wonderful little friends.
Thank you for sharing. Yes, they really are wonderful friends. Very loyal, smart and loving.
He is adorable. I love natural ears.
Reggie Can Gleason I love natural ears too! His are So soft and floppy.
Yes me too shame about his tail though😢
@@yvonnescholey8972 thats not his natural tail! 😮 I cant believe people would cut them.😢
@@patrickabe4004 I know, it’s terrible. I have a mini schnauzer and she has her tail, we call it her happiness indicator😂🤣😂🤣
SCHNAUZER'S are hilarious😂😂🤣 They are fun to have as a family member. My #1 favorite dog!!!
Eddie Cuellar They are a wonderful family member. They have great personalities. I agree with you 100%!
Schnauzers Rule!
Yeah i love the breeds, and i want one for myself but my schedule work schedule prevents me having one. So i call it my retirement dog
They are precious, I had 2 miniatures (1 after the other), they definitely have minds of their own.

💝💓😍 The paw prints!
Yep. I love them too!!!❤️
I miss the little 🐾 paw prints in the snow. Schnauzers are hilarious 😄 playing in the snow

Lovely dog! My dog is like clone. Very active and good companion. Thank you for video! God bless him and your family!
My mini-schnauzer, Jack was the same when he saw snow, for the first time...schnauzers have such great personalities
They have great personalities. So glad we got it on video. Haha. He loves the snow!
"Close that door, you're letting all the heat out", said everyones dad.
Haha’ So true!!!
That dog is so cool. A true blessing from the Lord!
Oh my gosh!!! Thank you so much. You are kind.
This is absolutely hilarious.

He is adorable. ❤️ @Carla Peterson
I have a black miniature schnauzer and we felt in love with that breed.
... check with the animal control in your city.... call back enough times ...when they do rescue one say ... they may call you first ...
I have a standard and we LOVE him so much!😁👍🏿
They are some of the best dogs!! 💕
What a fluffy boi 🤣
Mod mojo oh yes he is, 😂 especially during winter.
That first print in the snow is like “noooope”
Haha! He was so funny this day. He loves the snow now. 😂❄️
I have a black mini Schnauzer (girl). This video touches my heart! Schnauzers are wonderful dogs.
A black mini ❤️❤️ They really are the best dogs!!! 🥰
@@carlapeterson3683 My cutie loves to make the cutest howling songs with encouragement from the family! Does yours?
@@user-ut6qw2uk6f No, he doesn’t do that. That’s awesome. That would be fun to hear.

lovely
Thank you.
Me and my Fiancé have a Schnauzer/ Blue Heeler mix but we think he’s a standard schnauzer but he’s still a young wild pup
I have never seen that mix before. I bet he is So cute! They are wild for the first year. 😂 lots of work! Thanks for your comment.
I WISHD ID HAD DOG LIKE THAT
Aww thank you. He is a sweet heart. Wish you did too. 😀
One thing I've noticed about my schnauzer pup is he thinks before he acts.
They are smart.
I've seen TONS of Miniature Schauzers, and just two Giants, but NEVER a Standard!! I wonder why..
Agreed and I’m really not sure why. I’ve never seen a standard around either. A handful of giants. It’s pretty strange.
I have a black mini and he's the love of my life! Your dogs coat is so beautiful 😍 what kind of food or supplements do you give him?
Thank you! He eats purina pro plan salmon and rice. He should also be on fish oil but he hates it. 😂
Did anyone else see the sass after he called him a chicken? 😂
Oh he is full of sass!! always! 😂
My schnauzer probably never seeing snow :( i live in Texas.
Guillermo Diaz Texas would be too hot for my schnauzer. ☀️ I bet your dog would love the snow ( probably would act the same way if he/she got the chance).
Now that cute I don't blame him I don't like the snow
Lynn Rahn thank you. I don’t blame him either. I feel like that every time it snows. He Loves the snow now.

@@carlapeterson3683 Awesome.. Thanks so much for your fast reply!
Standards are the purest form of schnauzers they often have less health issues and have less of the negative tendancies associated with miniatures
Where did you get your standard schnauzer? He's beautiful!!
Thank you. I got him from a breeder in Idaho “Maddox” is the name.
😀
Ha Ha Ha 💕💕

Whats the difference between the standard Schnauzer breed and the Giant Schnauzer?
Scar Face The size is one difference. My dog weighs about 58lbs and I believe a giant male is around 95lbs. I also think the standard has a little more energy and has a very strong temperament. They are the original standard. I don’t really know too much more about the differences. I use to have a mini schnauzer and My standard is strong willed. He was a little harder to train.
@@carlapeterson3683 i looked it up and Standard's also apparently live longer
Scar Face yes I believe that is because they are the original breed. That is good news for me. Unfortunately my mini only lived to be 8. Hoping to have a lot longer time with my standard.
@@carlapeterson3683 and its because smaller and medium sized dogs tend to live longer because their body doesn't need as much support.
Sara Thank you Sara.
Tail is right but not the ears?
Mady Guindin He does have big floppy natural ears. I love them. 🥰
How do you find a reputable breeder of black standards? Having a hard time in Texas. Thanks!
Heather Miller I know the struggle is real when trying to find a breeder for standards. We found ours in Idaho. My husband did a lot of searching. Wish I had an answer. Good luck in your search.
Thank you! Would you mind sharing the breeder info?
This pup is sooo cute!
Heather Miller we got him from Kenneth Maddox of Meridian, Idaho.
Thanks! Do you have contact info? I’m having a hard time finding on fb!
He seems scared
Kim Lowe He definitely was nervous. This was his first experience with snow. Definitely felt strange under his feet. This is his favorite weather now 😁
@@carlapeterson3683 ok. I have a mini Schnauzer who will be 13 at the end of January. My future dog I would love to have a standard schnauzer.
Kim Lowe I had a mini before our standard. Standards have a lot more energy and enjoy being very active. You can’t go wrong with either breed. They are the best dogs.
@@carlapeterson3683 my mini is very youthful for his age. He acts like a puppy, though slowed down a bit. But still active loves walkies and can jump up to the door handle.
Kim Lowe That is awesome. 13 is quite impressive! I hope he stays that way for many, many more years. ❤️
Would it kill you to put on shoes and go out with him? Sheesh.
Haha! Absolutely not. He was not hurt in anyway, he conquered his fears and absolutely LOVES the snow now.
I agree.... his pack leader won't even show him the way. Lame!!!
He says - you first. Where are my boots and jacket. Dad, I think I can hold it a bit longer - maybe this will be gone.
