Meet our Schnauzers . . . I started breeding Miniature Schnauzers a few years ago, looking for a smaller dog for my daughter to play with, and one that offered less trouble for children with allergies. Miniature Schnauzers are
a small dog breed that originated in Germany in the late 1900's, as
a cross between the Standard Schnauzer and one or more of the smaller
breeds like the Miniature Pinscher and Poodle. It's one of the more
popular dog breeds, in the top 10 in Canada, loved for its wonderful
temperament. The Official Standard (AKC) of the Miniature Schnauzer
describes the Schnauzer temperament as "Alert and spirited, yet
obedient to command. Friendly, intelligent and willing to please."
They are natural watchdogs, warning owners of people approaching, then
friendly when homeowners approach the guest. They are intelligent and
train easily, and are very good with children. Meet
our Labs . . . The Labrador Retriever
originated on the Island of Newfoundland rather than Labrador. The appellation,
"Labrador", was used to distinguish him from his larger cousin,
the Newfoundland. During the nineteenth century visitors to Newfoundland
frequently wrote of the short haired dogs that were admirable retrievers,
and these dogs were imported to England by returning fisherman. The
dogs, originally used by the local wildfowlers, eventually came to the
attention of aristocratic sportsman impressed by the dog’s ability
in the field. These aristocrats used imported dogs from Newfoundland
to establish the foundation kennels of the breed. |
