Information on a miniature schnauzer

My wife had one when we started dating in 03. He died in 05 when he was 9yrs old. We bought another one right before Katrina. He is still alive and well. My in-laws also had one that has since passed.

They are extremely smart and loving. When our current one was a puppy, he was full go from the time he woke up until we went to bed. Now that he's older, he's more of a lap dog and constantly wants to be petted.

Unfortunately, I don't think it would treat the rabbit too kindly. Mine will chase squirrels and rabbits and has killed his share of moles. But they are great dogs, easily house broken and crate trained. And they don't shed. Biggest issue for us is they all have had queasy stomachs resulting in numerous occasions of cleaning vomit of the floor. When I say numerous, I mean a few times a yr. Overall, great dogs with great personalities and they've all been good with our kids. We will get another one when the time comes.

I've been considering a Giant Schnauzer as my next dog.

It's going to be fighting instincts to not attack that rabbit. They go absolutely ape shite at squirrels, rabbits, and the like.

A friend of mine had one and lived in a mid century modern house with glassed windows floor to ceiling all the way around. The dog spent the entire day barking at squirrel's in the yard that it could see because of the windows. They had to put the dog on doggy valium to get it to chill out.

We owned a 4-5 of them over the years when I was growing up. They're great dogs. Very loyal and affectionate. They do bark a lot. They can also get a little grumpy as they age.

Best dogs ever. Small enough for in house, loyal, smart and alert for watchdog. Very territorial tho.
Had two at different times and were the best dogs I ever had.

No, but need to keep them trimmed up. Beards can get stained from food also but no big deal

I had one for ten years. He was very smart and loving as others mentioned. Barked at anything and did get grumpy with old age. No way that rabbit would stand a chance they are too high strung.

Just discovered they can get sea sick today. Mine had to come fishing with me today, wouldn't stay in bed with my wife. He got a dose of Elmer's rollers and lost his breakfast a couple of times. They are awesome dogs, very little shedding, smart, and great with my daughter who's a year old and molests him daily. Only downside is the barking as others have mentioned, and I would not think this would go well with the bunny.

They’re great dogs. Had one growing up and bought my parents one for Christmas when I was in college. Very sweet dogs

We have a mix now. He came up to my parents house about 6yrs ago. He was probably 6mth to a year old at the time. I think he’s a schnauzer and yorkie mix. He’s an awesome dog and love to play with my other two big dogs. He will try to attack anything that moves sometimes though.

We had ours for 16 years and he was pretty much just as described by everyone who commented. Just a wonderful dog. I still miss him.
