It is a cross between a schnauzer and a poodle.
The schnauzer, ever alert, makes an excellent watchdog, although its watchful nature can lead to persistent barking.
Puppies in the same litter may differ in coat qualities and are hypoallergenic as both schnauzers and poodles are considered hypoallergenic.
Schnauzers have distinctive beards and long, feathery eyebrows.
A stripped schnauzer will have a hard wiry coat as described in the breed standard.
Toy and teacup are not breeds of schnauzer, but these common terms are used to market undersized or ill-bred miniature schnauzers.
The schnauzer's beard and leg hair should be brushed often to prevent mats from forming.
Helps maintain a proper coat in many terriers and schnauzers.
