r/MiniatureSchnauzer

Baby girl is 6 months today 🥹❤️ My mini schnauzer + dachshund pup — she’s also 13 lbs already 🤯

Don’t get me wrong- there’s a lot going on-we are moving and we have been packing…but even BEFORE all of that, seems my Chloebears anxiety or stress is worsening. She’s turning 8 this year and just wants to be all up on me(clingy puppers), staring at me from anywhere she is and just…does that. Or lays by me…then gets up and jumps off the couch, sits on the floor, stares at me, then hops back up to lay back down-several times in a row. Or does a wispy whine while staring at me.

I know we are in the midsts of packing, or lightly packing, but we’ve been chilling, been actually normal(except me with my stress of tooth removal), but she’s been…off more.

The vet says she looks fine, feels fine, has a stage 2 heart murmur, but nothing that would show why she’s so anxious. I didn’t get her any calming meds-unless anyone has any options that aren’t made with chicken, pork or beef(she’s fricken allergic to all of them).

Currently enjoying some time off so we did a mini road trip. Took my camera for some landscape shots but had to get the boy enjoying the beach

Please send me your pups in the wind.

my mini Ollie is 7 years old and she has this bump right near where her collar is. It has grown a little - the vet is recommending removal before it gets bigger and get teeth scaling done and the same time. Thoughts ? Anyone else have same problem?

Hey this is Luna, she is a year and a half, she used to be darker when younger, but know is turning to a brown color, is that normal? Additionally I also read that if you groom your mini schnauzer with clippers it mess their coat… how come?

Kobold is working with a service dog to learn how to play! Shes obsessed with her, this was their first session together and the trainer visited our home with the service dog this weekend for their second session and Kobold wanted everything to do with this dog. Shes going to have a few more sessions to get over the uncertainty before she gets placed in a social group with this dog to hopefully learn that dogs are fun!

Im so proud of her for getting over her fears, we've learned that the reactivity seems to be stemming from not knowimg how to communicate or read other dogs, probably from mama dog not socializing her before we picked her up.

Im really proud of her progress, shes even drastically lowered her human reactivity after getting some confidence with dogs and the trainer. So excited for her.

And yes, she skirts her butt when shes playing. The running herr wasnt out of fear, it was her being a little turd and wanting the dog to chase because she does it at home with us.

Updates to come!

Temperature can go to -30C.

As a side question, is this salt and pepper? I don’t know what tag to put.

I am joining the miniature schnauzer family!! This is a breed I have loved for a very long time and I’m so thrilled to have this beautiful lovely lady join my family🥹❤️This is (tentatively) Indy, but i’m also considering Chili because she’s just a chill girl. Any other name suggestions would be welcome!
