Schnauzer - Mini Reviews
Absolutely fantastic breed! Our Tucker will be 8 years old in a couple of weeks, and he is the BEST dog I’ve ever had! He’s so smart! Very VERY SMART! Almost too smart! 😂
He’s great with the grandkids too! He was raised around kids and the grandkids, and loves chasing them around and playing fetch, along with playing ball and other activities. He’s in great health. He’s laid back, but he plays hard! He’s kinda big for a miniature schnauzer, he weighs in at about 28 pounds. Tucker is one AMAZING dog!
