luv mini schnauzers

Thankyou. Lots to think about but yes we are now walking pup on her own .

I have an near eight year old mini schnauzer that has progressively become difficult to walk. He starts crying when harness goes on and by the time we are at the front gate he is squealing and carrying on. For a good ten mins on our walk he screams and the starts to calm down but when he sees another dog it’s off again. Nothing I do can get his focus off the other dog. Some days are worse than others . I’ve tried walking our 6 month pup with him , on a connected lead , a separate lead and then walking totally seperate walks. Seperate walks a slightly better . Anyone have some ideas ? He is gorgeous at home. Very well behaved when home, in the car , vets and family and friends homes. Walks are woeful.

Bath time

Hi all. I have mini schnauzers and one of them from puppy always leaked. I now express her weekly , very easy at bath time and have no more issues. The older she got the better the glands got . The vet showed me what to do. Luv your dog , gotta luv anal glands too. Good luck

Thanks for the advise people, I'm talking to the breeder next week. Wish me luck. :D

Hi all , I've mentioned this before but now I'm going to add a third little angel to my clan. What I'm stuck on is male or female . I have two desexed females and they are great. My vet said male or females doesn't matter ,just make sure on personality . Ok peeps any insight . All opinions will be considered. I preferr another little girl but I've never had three dogs before . All will be mini schnauzers. Love them to the moon and back :)

Sorry for asking - but what are the antibiotics for? Dagmar She has a low grade infection on her tonsils

Phew thank you peeps I feel so much better . :D

Hi does any one have any exp with a slight heart murmur. Just found out today. My girl was seen last sept and there was nothing and today she went in to get teeth cleaned and we found out she has a murmur and some fungal thingy on her tonsils !! antibiotics for a month and just to keep a watch for the murmur . I was so upset , the vet said not to worry that it may never change and if it does there is great meds to control it. My poor girl. Any thoughts?????

Hi all , just booked my girl in to have her teeth cleaned as she is a bit on the nose when she kisses you. I do brush her teeth when its bath time,she has a denta bone every day and chicken wings . Any other ideas???? Vet said if we start now as she has only mild tatar it will keep nasties at bay. Hope Im doing the right thing..

My girl is from a reg breeder and I have her sister who is fine, but this one who is wonderful has this condition. Im on top of it , just wanted to see if anyone else has had same issue. We have a great diet and lifestyle , she lucky she has me to handle it.

Anyone had any exp with schn bumps??? Have a girl that may have the genetic syndrome that schnauzers have. Have it under control but just wondered if anyone else has issues. Yes its in the bloodline but I love my girl and just want to do the right thing by her.

There has been no trauma or hair pulled out. From the last time I clipped her I noticed the fluffy fur had gone and black wire growing. Weird though. Could she now be getting her wire coat as the patch seems to be getting bigger????????? She is a very soft coated girl and I thought maybe now her wire is going to come through ???? My other mini is just fine. Thanks for giving me ideas though. xx

Hi everyone, just a question to put out there, I have a 5 yr old black and silver mini schnauzer that has a patch of her silver fur on her back changing to black wire fur. I know they are double coated and she never really grew alot of wire fur as she grew so she is lovley and fluffy. I clip her not strip. Vets are unsure whats going on as well. Skin is a ok and she is as healthy as ever. Anyone one with any ideas??????
