In 1917, with the sixth edition of the stud-book, the name of the rough-haired breed was officially changed from Rauhaarige Pinscher to Schnauzer. [5]: 482 In 1918 the Pinscherklub and the Schnauzerklub München merged to form the Pinscher-Schnauzer-Verband, which in 1921 changed its name to the present Pinscher-Schnauzer-Klub 1895 e.V. [12]
There are three breeds: the Standard, the Giant, 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. [7] The original Schnauzer was of the same size as the modern Standard Schnauzer breed and was bred as a rat-catcher and guard dog. The Giant ...
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]
As time passed, farmers bred the Standard Schnauzer into a smaller, more compact size for ratting by combining it, according to cynologist theorization, with one or more small breeds such as the Affenpinscher and Miniature Poodle, [5] [1] [11] [12] Miniature Pinscher, [7] [8] or Pomeranian, [13] or by chance from smallest specimens of the ...

The breed predates and is ancestral to the Griffon Bruxellois (Brussels Griffon) and Miniature Schnauzer which was thought to be from affenpinschers crossed with standard schnauzers in addition to other breeds. [8] [1]: 30 The breed was recognized by the AKC in 1935 and the FCI in 1955. [9] [10] An Affenpinscher exhibited at a dog show
The AKC breed standard calls for males to stand from 65 to 70 centimetres (25.5 to 27.5 in) at the withers, and for females to stand from 60 to 65 centimetres (23.5 to 25.5 in). [4] Giant Schnauzers are square in shape, [5] and should resemble a larger version of the Standard Schnauzer. [7]
The Miniature Pinscher, also known as the Zwergpinscher and Mini Pin, is a small breed of dog of the pinscher type originating in Germany.While the breed's visual similarities to the Toy Manchester Terrier, which somewhat resembles the Pinscher breeds, remain a matter of controversy, genetic research (published in 2017) has shown that the two breeds have shared, unique ancestry.
