The Miniature Schnauzer is a breed of small dog of the Schnauzer type that originated in Germany in the mid-to-late 19th century. The Miniature Schnauzers were developed from crosses between the Standard Schnauzer and one or more smaller breeds like the Poodle and Affenpinscher. The Miniature Schnauzer dog remains today as one of the most known breed all over the world, primarily for its relatively small size and temperament.
Globally, the Miniature Schnauzer comes in four colors: black, black-and-silver, salt-and-pepper, and white. As of 2008 it is the 11th most popular breed in the United States, though the American Kennel Club or AKC recognizes only three colors and considers solid white a disqualification. Colors such as chocolate, liver, and parti (multi-color or spotted) are available on the pet trade and can be registered as pure-breds by some organizations, but are not currently recognized by any legitimate club for conformation shows.
