Sadly we had to put down our third Mini a couple months back, he was 12 years old.
This is Ranea
This is Oliver, he was only 10 weeks or so old in the first picture.
Other than size, are they much different than the the standard or giant size temperament wise ? Do they get along with other dogs ? Thanks
As a breed, the Minis do well with other dogs. Our don't socialize much, so I'm not sure. Knowing them, I would they they would do fine. They just bark a lot at others which is a very common trait of Mini's.
One thing I love about Mini Schauzers is they act like large dogs. We always had large dogs growing up (labs mostly), and I never could see myself liking or owning a small dog. My wife had always had her two Mini Schnauzers growing up and I fell in love with the breed. That is when we adopted Oliver.
