How to judge the appearance of a Schnauzer puppy? For a Schnauzer puppy with cropped ears, the inner side of the ear should be perpendicular to the skull. For a Schnauzer with lop-eared ears, the inner side of the ear should be perpendicular to the skull. For a Schnauzer puppy with good appearance, the eyes should be of moderate size. , the eyeballs are dark or black; the front feet of a Schnauzer in good condition should be straight and parallel, and the rear feet should be perpendicular to the ground when standing.

First, look at the ears

You need to learn to look at the ears of a Schnauzer. Some people will choose to crop the ears of a Schnauzer, but there are also requirements. Generally, the ears of dogs with cropped ears stand upward, and the inside of the ears should be perpendicular to the skull. Keep your ears parallel when alert. If it is a drop ear, the dog's ears are slightly tilted forward, medium in size, and "V" shaped.

Second, look at the eyes

A good-looking Schnauzer puppy should have moderately sized eyes, not too big or too round. The eyeballs should be dark or black and should not protrude outward. Light-colored eyes, large eyes, and protruding eyes are all faults.

Third, look at the front and rear drive

The front feet of a Schnauzer puppy should be straight and parallel, with strong wrists and sufficient bone mass; the hindquarters should be perpendicular to the ground when standing, and the hip joints, knee joints, and paws are basically in the same straight line. , thigh muscles are plump, like cat-shaped toes. The front legs have X-shaped legs and O-shaped legs that do not meet the standards; the hindquarters have sickle legs, cow limbs, and O-shaped legs are all defects!

If you raise a Schnauzer, you should give the dog plenty of exercise and eat some calcium-supplementing snacks, such as chicken jerky, chicken chips jerky, etc., to strengthen the dog's bones.

Fourth, look at the overall appearance

We can observe the overall appearance of Schnauzers. In fact, Schnauzers are divided into three body types: Miniature Schnauzer, Standard Schnauzer, and Giant Schnauzer. In fact, the overall ratio of the Schnauzer's body length to height is square. Generally speaking, the ideal height of male dogs is: 18.5-19.5 inches (46.99-49.53 cm), and the ideal height of female dogs is: 17.5-18.5 inches (44.45-46.99 cm).

Fifth, look at the eyebrows

For Schnauzer puppies with good appearance, their eyebrows must be arched and their fur should be rough and not so long that it blocks the line of sight.

Sixth, look at the coat

Our common ones include salt and pepper, black and silver, and pure black. Among them, the most typical salt-and-pepper hair is mainly caused by the combination of black and white striped hair (referring to the color change from dark to light to dark from the hair root to the hair tip) and black and white non-striped hair, with striped hair being the dominant one. , its coat should be tight, rough, and as thick as possible. The undercoat is soft and the outer coat is coarse and hard. It is relatively difficult to take care of in daily feeding, so you can choose natural food containing deep-sea fish oil to feed your dog's hair, which will help the dog's hair to be beautiful, soft and easy to take care of.
