Breed Information
Overview
A Miniature Schnauzer Mix is not a purebred dog. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and understand that you can get any combination of the characteristics found in either breed.
A Miniature Schnauzer Mix is a cross between a Miniature Schnauzer and another dog breed. Because a mix can inherit any combination of traits from their parents, it’s important to ask about the other parent breed in the mix.
Should a Mini Schnauzer Mix take after their Miniature Schnauzer parent, they’ll be a small dog with a big, friendly personality. These dogs love their families and love to play!
Temperament
A Miniature Schnauzer is a small, sturdy dog that tends to be bright, friendly, outgoing, and charming. They tend to get along with children and other dogs. They are even open and friendly with strangers as long as they are well-socialized.
They do have a high prey drive and an urge to chase, so they will need extra socialization and training with other pets in the household. Mini Schnauzers also tend to be alert and watchful dogs that can be prone to barking. Training your dog to stop barking early on can keep this from becoming a nuisance behavior.
If the other parent breed is similar, then you could expect a similar temperament from a Miniature Schnauzer Mix. You still want to ask about the other parent breed as they are likely to introduce some quirks of their own.
You can meet the mother in person to see what her temperament is like and to see the behavior she is modeling for her puppies. Although the breeder should have started socialization and training, it is up to you to continue to train and socialize a puppy once you get them home.
