About Us
Experienced Breeders
Little Fluffy Friends is a Mini Schnauzer company breeder licensed in Florida. We sincerely care about our dogs and puppies. They get a lot of attention and love. We raise them at home in a clean environment, not in a kennel.
We choose to breed Miniature Schnauzers because we love how smart they are, loyal, affectionate, and they are so spunky! Our mini schnauzers are stable, intelligent, and calm. They shine with exuberant health and lovely temperaments.
Happy, Healthy Bloodline
Miniature Schnauzer
Origin
Of the three Schnauzers, only the Miniature is classified as a terrier, the other two being regarded as working breeds. German in origin, it is believed the Miniature was created in the 1890s by crossing small specimens of the Standard Schnauzer with either the Affenpinscher or Miniature Pinscher – or perhaps both. The breed name comes from the German word Schnauze meaning “snout or muzzle” or perhaps, more specifically from Schnauzbart meaning “a conspicuous moustache,” a characteristic of all Schnauzers. Starting out in life as a tough barnyard ratter, the Miniature Schnauzer’s engaging personality soon won a place indoors for him as a family pet where he’s been firmly entrenched ever since.
Temperament
Friendly, intelligent and willing to please, the Miniature Schnauzer is spirited but obedient.
Activity Level
Alert and active, the Miniature Schnauzer is a delightful companion and a super watchdog. A daily walk is all the exercise he needs but be forewarned, he’ll keep going as long as you do.
Height/Weight
The Miniature Schnauzer will measure from 12-14 in (30-36 cm) and weigh approximately 14 lb (6.5 kg).
Coat
The Miniature sports a hard, wiry outer coat and close undercoat. His non-shedding coat makes him a good choice for fussy housekeepers as well as allergy sufferers.
Colour
The recognized colours are salt-and-pepper, black-and-silver or solid black.
Grooming
The head, neck, ears, chest, tail and body coat must be plucked (hand-stripped) for showing. Beard and leg furnishings need frequent combing to keep them free of mats. Some owners avail themselves of the services of a professional groomer to keep that smart Schnauzer appearance.
A Furever Friend
Meet mom and dad! Claire and Jamie! We love raising miniature schnauzer puppies and we attempt to socialize them early. Our puppies are raised in our home, not outside or without human contact. We spend many hours with our puppies, holding, petting, and caring for their needs. We let the puppies run around our home to get their exercise (supervised of course.), and also let our kids hold and play with the puppies so that the puppies will be accustomed to children. We start the house-breaking process as soon as they are old enough to learn, to make it easier on their future human companions. All this makes our puppies grow up to be well-adjusted happy animals that are a joy to everyone who meets them. They have the best temperaments of any dogs we have ever seen and we know you will agree as well. Little Fluffy Friends Miniature Schnauzers has an outstanding reputation and history of producing the finest miniature schnauzers in Florida.
