Is the Miniature Schnauzer the Right Breed for Your Lifestyle?

Loyal, alert, and willing to please, the Miniature Schnauzer is the most popular dog in the Terrier Group. They're well suited for a variety of households.

I know this is a touchy subject, but I have supported and expressed this belief. Understanding it is convenient to neuter the male because of marking and unwanted litters, it is hard not to go ahead with a male.. The females...yes messy but there are always diapers. All in all, I have felt that puppies are neutered or spayed too early.

Preventing unwanted litters is a goal we all share—but it's time to rethink the surgical approach. Hysterectomies and vasectomies, which preserve hormonal balance, can safely be performed as early as 8 weeks of age, making dogs sterile without disrupting their natural hormones.

In this study, researchers looked at whether the age at which dogs were spayed or neutered, meaning how long they were exposed to their natural s*x hormones, affected how healthy they were in old age. They studied a group of long-lived pet dogs to learn what helps dogs live longer, healthier lives. Dogs with the fewest age-related health problems were considered the most “robust.”

The results showed that both male and female dogs who kept their hormones longer (i.e., were spayed or neutered later) were 3 to 10 times more likely to be healthy in old age compared to those altered earlier. Once hormone exposure and age were taken into account, there was no difference in old-age health between males and females.

This study highlights how important s*x hormones may be for staying healthy later in life and shows that early-life decisions—like when to spay or neuter—can have long-term effects on health.

Salt/Pepper Male. I refer to him as Golden Boy due to his color. He will be going home around Labor Day.

I received this review this morning
Posting for the owner.

Hi Linda,
I hope all is well with you. Coco and I are having lots of fun. She gives me much enjoyment. She has grown so quickly and weighed 7 lbs # at last vet visit. She’s getting her shots and monthly deworming medicine. She loves playing in the yard so I fenced in my backyard.

You provided me with great material that helped me learn how to raise a puppy and keep her happy and healthy. The house training is tricky but it’s coming along. She has such fun with her toys and even continues to play with the snuggly puppy you provided in her take-away basket.

I would be happy to refer anyone to Maxwell Schnauzers. Feel free to post this on Facebook as a very satisfied owner of a Maxwell schnauzer.
