We know what Schnauzer are like because we have bred and cared for them
In the early days of DOGKING, the Schnauzer was a breed we bred at our centre. However, we stopped breeding it because of all the problems that were associated with it. Despite being a beautiful breed with a promising reputation, their tendency to bark excessively in response to noises or strangers, their need for a clear hierarchy and a strict command when it comes to training, also made us disregard this breed at our centre. While some of them are wonderful dogs, not all of them are.Although Schnauzer puppies are highly sought after, we prefer not to breed them as they can be difficult for families to handle.
In contrast, the Australian Cobberdog is a dog with a healthy genetic profile and a well-balanced temperament. They also come with hypoallergenic coats and are available in 3 sizes to suit the needs of every family.
