Getting a mini schnauzer at the end of the month. Any advice? Obviously done my research but would love to hear from actual people. Hes my first puppy. How hard is it to learn how to clip?
Bump with a few pics.

Pancreatitis is very common in the breed due to hereditary hyperlipidosis. Pancreatitis is also anecdotally linked to kidney disease. Schnauzers commonly get cystic calculi (stones in urinary bladder).
1. keep it slim.
2. keep it hydrated.

Have the parents and puppies been tested for these or any other health issues?

Not sure but I made a point of scoping out a kc registered breeder. I remember she mentioned them getting their eyes tested though. And also to be careful of weight gain.

Thanks. Good to know. Iive just bought a filtered water fountain. Found that always encouraged my cats. (But they still prefered a running tap)
