The Miniature Schnauzer is a robust, active dog of terrier type,
resembling his larger cousin, the Standard Schnauzer, in general
appearance, and of an alert, active disposition. Faults
- Type - Toyishness, ranginess or coarseness.
Size, Proportion, Substance
Size - From 12 to 14 inches. He is sturdily built,
nearly square in proportion of body length to height
with plenty of bone, and without any suggestion of toyishness.
Disqualifications - Dogs or bitches under 12 inches or over 14
inches.
Head
Eyes - Small, dark brown and deep-set. They are oval in
appearance and keen in expression. Faults
- Eyes light and/or large and prominent in appearance. Ears
- When cropped, the ears are identical in shape and length, with pointed
tips. They are in balance with the head and not exaggerated in length.
They are set high on the skull and carried perpendicularly at the inner
edges, with as little bell as possible along the outer edges. When
uncropped, the ears are small and V-shaped, folding close to the skull.
Head strong and rectangular, its width diminishing
slightly from ears to eyes, and again to the tip of the nose. The
forehead is unwrinkled. The topskull is flat and fairly
long. The foreface is parallel to the topskull, with a slight stop, and
it is at least as long as the topskull. The muzzle is
strong in proportion to the skull; it ends in a moderately blunt manner,
with thick whiskers which accentuate the rectangular shape of the head.
Faults - Head coarse and cheeky. The teeth
meet in a scissors bite. That is, the upper front teeth
overlap the lower front teeth in such a manner that the inner surface of
the upper incisors barely touches the outer surface of the lower
incisors when the mouth is closed. Faults - Bite -
Undershot or overshot jaw. Level bite.
Neck, Topline, Body
Neck - strong and well arched, blending into the
shoulders, and with the skin fitting tightly at the throat. Body
short and deep, with the brisket extending at least to the elbows. Ribs
are well sprung and deep, extending well back to a short loin. The
underbody does not present a tucked up appearance at the flank. The
backline is straight; it declines slightly from the withers
to the base of the tail. The withers form the highest point of the body.
The overall length from chest to buttocks appears to equal the height at
the withers. Faults - Chest too broad or shallow in
brisket. Hollow or roach back.
Tail set high and carried erect. It is docked only long
enough to be clearly visible over the backline of the body when the dog
is in proper length of coat. Fault - Tail set too low.
Forequarters
Forelegs are straight and parallel when viewed from all sides. They have
strong pasterns and good bone. They are separated by a fairly deep
brisket which precludes a pinched front. The elbows are close, and the
ribs spread gradually from the first rib so as to allow space for the
elbows to move close to the body. Fault - Loose elbows.
The sloping shoulders are muscled, yet flat and clean.
They are well laid back, so that from the side the tips of the shoulder
blades are in a nearly vertical line above the elbow. The tips of the
blades are placed closely together. They slope forward and downward at
an angulation which permits the maximum forward extension of the
forelegs without binding or effort. Both the shoulder blades and upper
arms are long, permitting depth of chest at the brisket.
Feet short and round (cat feet) with thick, black pads.
The toes are arched and compact.
Hindquarters
The hindquarters have strong-muscled, slanting thighs. They are well
bent at the stifles. There is sufficient angulation so that, in stance,
the hocks extend beyond the tail. The hindquarters never appear
overbuilt or higher than the shoulders. The rear pasterns are short and,
in stance, perpendicular to the ground and, when viewed from the rear,
are parallel to each other. Faults - Sickle hocks, cow
hocks, open hocks or bowed hindquarters.
Coat
Double, with hard, wiry, outer coat and close undercoat. The head, neck,
ears, chest, tail, and body coat must be plucked. When in show
condition, the body coat should be of sufficient length to determine
texture. Close covering on neck, ears and skull. Furnishings are fairly
thick but not silky. Faults - Coat too soft or too
smooth and slick in appearance.
Color
The recognized colors are salt and pepper, black and silver and solid
black. All colors have uniform skin pigmentation, i.e. no white or pink
skin patches shall appear anywhere on the dog.
Salt and Pepper - The typical salt and pepper color of
the topcoat results from the combination of black and white banded hairs
and solid black and white unbanded hairs, with the banded hairs
predominating. Acceptable are all shades of salt and pepper, from light
to dark mixtures with tan shadings permissible in the banded or unbanded
hair of the topcoat. In salt and pepper dogs, the salt and pepper
mixture fades out to light gray or silver white in the eyebrows,
whiskers, cheeks, under throat, inside ears, across chest, under tail,
leg furnishings, and inside hind legs. It may or may not also fade out
on the underbody. However, if so, the lighter underbody hair is not to
rise higher on the sides of the body than the front elbows.
Black and Silver - The black and silver generally
follows the same pattern as the salt and pepper. The entire salt and
pepper section must be black. The black color in the topcoat of the
black and silver is a true rich color with black undercoat. The stripped
portion is free from any fading or brown tinge and the underbody should
be dark.
Black - Black is the only solid color allowed. Ideally,
the black color in the topcoat is a true rich glossy solid color with
the undercoat being less intense, a soft matting shade of black. This is
natural and should not be penalized in any way. The stripped portion is
free from any fading or brown tinge. The scissored and clippered areas
have lighter shades of black. A small white spot on the chest is
permitted, as is an occasional single white hair elsewhere on the body.
Disqualifications - Color solid white or white striping,
patching, or spotting on the colored areas of the dog, except for the
small white spot permitted on the chest of the black.
The body coat color in salt and pepper and black and silver dogs fades
out to light gray or silver white under the throat and across the chest.
Between them there exists a natural body coat color. Any irregular or
connecting blaze or white mark in this section is considered a white
patch on the body, which is also a disqualification.
Gait
The trot is the gait at which movement is judged. When approaching, the
forelegs, with elbows close to the body, move straight forward, neither
too close nor too far apart. Going away, the hind legs are straight and
travel in the same planes as the forelegs.
Note - It is generally accepted that when a full trot is achieved,
the rear legs continue to move in the same planes as the forelegs, but a
very slight inward inclination will occur. It begins at the point of the
shoulder in front and at the hip joint in the rear. Viewed from the
front or rear, the legs are straight from these points to the pads. The
degree of inward inclination is almost imperceptible in a Miniature
Schnauzer that has correct movement. It does not justify moving close,
toeing in, crossing, or moving out at the elbows.
Viewed from the side, the forelegs have good reach, while the hind legs
have strong drive, with good pickup of hocks. The feet turn neither
inward nor outward.
Faults - Single tracking, sidegaiting, paddling in
front, or hackney action. Weak rear action.
Temperament
The typical Miniature Schnauzer is alert and spirited, yet obedient to
command. He is friendly, intelligent and willing to please. He should
never be overaggressive or timid.
Disqualifications
Dogs or bitches under 12 inches or over 14 inches.
Color solid white or white striping, patching, or spotting on the
colored areas of the dog, except for the small white spot permitted on
the chest of the black.
The body coat color in salt and pepper and black and silver dogs fades
out to light gray or silver white under the throat and across the chest.
Between them there exists a natural body coat color. Any irregular or
connecting blaze or white mark in this section is considered a white
patch on the body, which is also a disqualification.
