There is a schnauzer sub-section in general, you might get more luck there. Puppies do go through gangly phases. Was your dog pedigreed (ie you have papers that show that it is a purebred mini schnauzer?). Yes she is pedigree and she was gangly when I got her. I tried to go on the Schnauzer forem but it wouldnt let me add anything to it. Im only new here so I dont know why I couldnt.

My little Paddington sounds just the same don't panic. He's a purebred miniature schnauzer too and 14wks now, and as lankier than you would believe, he's been getting taller and taller, the vet promises me he'll start filling out soon! he weighs about 5 kgs now, But I think males are probably bigger than females. What colour is your little girl? Jetta is a purebred little black girl & we just love her. I really like the other colours but love the black ones. She has such a fantastic personality and she is a little spoilt. I am so happy I chose a Miniature Schnauzer as I am sure you are too. I did alot of research on the net about them before I decided to get her but it only ever mentioned what height and weight they should be as adults. Going on what you have said about Paddington I think she should be at least 4kg by now.

I have a question to ask about Miniature Schnauzer puppies. I got my little girl "Jetta" three weeks ago, she is very long legged and thin and I thought they are supposed to be stockier built. I had her flown in so didnt see her before i picked her up from Toll Express. I have not seen any other puppies so I cant tell if she is of correct proportion or not. She is 13 weeks old and weighs 3.3 kg, is this ok? because I dont think it is. What should the average weight & height be at 13 weeks? Your imput would be greatly appreciated.
