The Schnauzer is a type of terrier dog that originated in Germany in the 15th century. It is the only terrier breed that does not contain British ancestry. Their name Schnauzer means "muzzle" in German. They are energetic and lively. Schnauzers are divided into three varieties: "Standard Schnauzer", "Miniature Schnauzer" and "Giant Schnauzer".

Selection instructions

If you see a Schnauzer with knotted hair, replaced hair hanging on the body without anyone combing it, or poop or other dirt stuck on the hair, then they must not have someone combing the dog's hair. Also, check to see if there are any sick dogs. As long as a dog is sick, especially bacteria, viruses, sexually transmitted diseases, and skin diseases, then the dogs living with it are very likely to be infected, and you should not buy this dog. Dogs at home kennels or pet stores.

When selecting a dog, check whether the dog has runny nose or eye mucus, whether the ears are clean, and whether the nose is moist. As long as you find that one item is abnormal, you should carefully consider whether it is necessary to buy it. In addition, if the dog that is led out is afraid of strangers, if it hesitates, with its tail clamped and its eyes flickering, then such a dog must lack environmental exercise, so it will have some difficulty in adapting to the new environment.

Are they vaccinated and what vaccines are injected? Vaccination is the only way to prevent dogs from contracting viral infectious diseases. Once a dog without vaccination is infected with a disease or virus, the mortality rate will be nearly 100%. Even if it survives by chance, it will leave lifelong sequelae. Puppies usually receive the first vaccination at 6 weeks, and it needs to be repeated every 3 to 4 weeks, 3 times in total, and once a year thereafter. The rabies vaccine can only be injected when the child is over 3 months old. It can be injected once, and it will be done once a year in the future.

In addition, you should check the label of the vaccine bottle to see if it can be peeled off and stuck on the record card. There should be complete brand, expiration date, vaccine name and other information on the label. Once the label is removed, the used vaccine vial cannot be reused to prevent the possibility of being filled with counterfeit medicine.

When buying a Schnauzer puppy, don’t forget to pay attention to the conversation and conversation between the breeder and the seller. For example, a person who only advocates "getting rich by raising dogs" is unlikely to have a serious attitude and sense of responsibility for raising dogs, because the ultimate goal of such a person is to make money, and his mind is full of making money.Money comes first, and their principles of raising dogs have changed qualitatively, so it is impossible for them to put the interests of dogs and customers first.

Cleaning Points

There is no need for Schnauzers to bathe every day. This is because the secretion of sebum in dogs is not as good as that of humans. Frequent bathing will not only wash away the sebum that protects the skin, but also increase the chance of the dog suffering from skin diseases. Owners should not be tempted to use human shampoo for their dogs, because human shampoos are too alkaline and will affect the secretion of sebum in dogs. If your dog has been accustomed to cold water baths since he was a child, this will be very beneficial to his health. But for puppies and dogs who are not used to "washing in cold water", they will easily catch colds.
