Mini Schnauzer - Photo by Llima. The Miniature Schnauzer originated in Germany and is believed to be a cross between a Standard Schnauzer and a Poodle as well as a breed such as an Affenpinscher. These compact little dogs (11-15 lbs) are generally low shedding and are recommended for folks with allergies.
There are 50 breeds: the giant, the standard, and the miniature. Toy and teacup are not breeds of schnauzer, but these common terms are used to market undersized or ill-bred miniature schnauzers. The original schnauzer was of the same size as the modern Standard Schnauzer breed, and was bred as a rat catcher, yard dog, and guard dog.
