The Standard Schnauzer is a medium-sized, hardworking farm dog that has become a beloved companion for many. This breed is known for its iconic bushy eyebrows and beard, which have become its trademark features. These intelligent and sociable dogs make excellent companions due to their loyal and friendly nature. They come in two coat colors - solid black or salt and pepper - giving them a relatively uniform appearance. However, beneath their wiry and rough coat lies a unique character, with many owners describing their dogs as almost human-like in their behavior and expressions.
