The Standard Schnauzer is the original breed of the three breeds of Schnauzer, and despite its wiry coat and general appearance, is not related to the British terriers. Rather, its origins are in old herding and guard breeds of Europe. The AKC classifies the Standard Schnauzer as Working Dog; however, this versatile breed is a robust, squarely built, medium-sized dog with aristocratic bearing. It was a popular subject of painters Sir Joshua Reynolds, Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt. (Wikipedia)
The Standard Schnauzer Club of America states that "THE STANDARD SCHNAUZER is a squarely built, very energetic, medium-sized dog with a stiff, wiry coat. It is a robust and sturdy working dog, yet small enough in stature not to be overwhelming."[4] This very intelligent breed is not only a very loyal family dog who will protect your home from visitors with a deep and robust bark. This breed also is known for being very easy to train, is non-shedding, adapts well to any weather, including snow, and is great with kids and adults alike. It is ideal to socialize from the start. Their intelligent and curious personality requires a strong-willed owner who can be consistent and firm with training and commands.(Wikipedia)
