A few Schnauzers were exported to the United States before the outbreak of the First World War. In 1925 the Wire-Haired Pinscher Club of America was started, covering both standard-sized and miniature Schnauzers; in 1933 it was divided into two separate clubs, one of them the Standard Schnauzer Club of America.

By the VDH and FCI Schnauzer is placed in "Group 2, Section 1: Pinschers and Schnauzers", with "Nr. 181, 182 and 183" in "Section 1.2: Schnauzer" dedicated to all three Schnauzer breeds.

Winners from each group then compete for the title of Best in Show. In each class, the individual dogs are judged against the breed standard of each dog breed. [4] In 1992, competition at Westminster was restricted to champions only. [10] A dog can only become a champion by gaining championship points at other conformation shows. [11]
[4] [6]: 152 In 1895 a breed society, the Pinscher-Schnauzer-Klub, was established for both types, both rough- and smooth-haired. [5] Dogs of the Affenpinscher type have been known since about 1600. [2] There were originally thought to be two sizes, the larger size is now extinct.
The German Pinscher or Deutscher Pinscher is a German breed of terrier in the Pinscher and Schnauzer group. [3] [1]: 218 It shares common origins with the Schnauzer, of which it is essentially a short-haired equivalent. [4] It is seen in two colours, either black-and-tan or self-coloured red, this varying from deer-red to a dark reddish brown. [2]
Schnauzers have a specific groom cut that is standard among the schnauzer breeds. Schnauzers require regular grooming, either by stripping, or by clipping. Stripping removes the loose, dead coat; it may be done by hand, called finger stripping, or plucking, or with a stripping knife; either way, it is a laborious process.
Having a dog doesn't mean your home must become a nest of pet hair. Some dogs are literally hairless, and even ones with long coats can be non-shedding.
The study concluded that while Australian Cattle Dogs are a healthy breed and do live on average almost a year longer than most dogs of other breeds in the same weight class, record ages such as Bluey's or Chilla's should be regarded as uncharacteristic exceptions rather than as indicators of common exceptional longevity for the entire breed.
