The world of the Schnauzer

Chapter I: My naughty bearded

Good morning my dear community, I do not know what is the receptivity in terms of talking about pets, in particular I love animals I have a tremendous weakness towards dogs and today I would like to introduce you to one of my three beautiful hairy children.

THOR

My little Thor came to my life with her sister Lilo (I do not come to speak to her today) in May 2016.
He is a beautiful "Miniature Schnauzer", I must emphasize that he is "miniature" because before this race only existed standard and giant and they have taken out this new mixture resulting in this small furry "miniature"; Clear Thor according to its measurements it is higher than a miniature and lower than a standard, so let's say it is a hybrid and that makes it very, very special.

Lilo and Thor at two months of age

I have Thor since I was one month old and I can tell you that he was a naughty, loving, spoiled and very clumsy puppy. As many people I will counted the days so that he would complete his 3 months and show him his first trick. As time passed I realized that Thor had a unique personality, he was becoming much more astute, intelligent, wanting to play every day and learn new tricks. At four months old he discovered what it was like to howl, it was really funny to hear him, but when he grew up he became a bit annoyed, even though he knows that it brings us problems with neighbors every day he says:
"Hey mom, I promise I'll stop doing it" Try to fight with your anxiety especially when it comes down.

Thor in his adolescence

This breed has a very rare peculiarity is that they can not see people or children because they immediately start barking hysterically, they seem crazy, it is something uncontrollable and although I scold them again and again it is something that has been very difficult to handle .

I know what they think:"it's bad parenting" I've already thought about putting a call to

Cesar Millán, but what do you think? Cesar is a very busy man. All those who have a Schnauzer should know the kind of scandal that I am referring to and are aware that it is something innate in them. The veterinarian gave me an excellent Tips that worked at the beginning (water and a bit of vinegar), but afterwards I stopped doing it and they went back to the place where they started, now I leave them alone to create a scandal.

Thor with his rebel hair

Thor on a beach day

Thor has a unique personality, he believes a real boy and I can tell you that his voice I have in my head (anyone would say that I'm crazy) and is like a spoiled little child. He and I have daily conversations in which we can ramble on whatever. At this moment he tells me:
"Hey mom, I'm not a spoiled kid" .

I know that Thor, I only tell to my reader how you are to get to know you a little more, did not you tell me you wanted to be on the cover of my blog?

"Yes mom, put some pictures that look good".

My little one loves the beach, it's something that he enjoys to the fullest, he starts to run through the sand and gets into the water as anyone would want his pet to do, to see it is to enjoy without any doubt.
"Hey mommy many dogs swim, but none like me"
I know that son, you're an excellent swimmer. Thor is a lover of his ball, I can throw it very far and he will go for it regardless of whether it is in the middle or where it has fallen, he will always bring it back to me.

"Hey mom tell them I was on the verge of death ..."
Yes, that's something I do not like to remember, my little one was hospitalized by Parvovirus, how? I do not know, a dog of apartment, which only goes down to do your needs and has your vaccinations up to date was very serious. Thank God after three days internal improvement was amazing and was with me at home being more spoiled than it is, now when I scold or say anything says "I was on the edge of death" ...

Thor the day he was discharged from the clinic

"Mommy, what do you think? It's true that I was there, I remind you so you do not scold me, because you do not tell them that I'm playing dead. "

Well, yes Thor is dead, I have it in lots of videos that I have not uploaded to the internet because of the bad signal that I have where I live, it is torture to upload a video, but I will do my best to upload one showing that little trick that he learned.

"I learned it by myself" ...
Yes,Thor ...Thor likes to sleep with my arms around him, face up.
"You see because I do not let you talk mommy, because you make me look bad, I'm a man I do not scare anymore, that was when I was a child" ...

Well Thor is a man, he does not get scared anymore, but if he comes to hear a noise or is left alone, he throws a tantrum. If it were for him he would sleep in my arms and spend all day in bed.

Now I want to talk a little about the characteristics of the breed, since I was young I always liked the dogs that had beards was something that I loved, that's why I always had a great inclination toward the Terrier, Thor has his beard very long, I want he looks as "Professor Dumbledore" (Harry Potter). In particular I do the haircut myself and I bathe his, I did not like to take them to canine hairdressers, not for anything bad, but the truth is that if I have the time to do it I do not see it necessary to take it somewhere else, apart from during the bathroom, at least Thor, enjoys it a lot.

This race has a charming personality, they are very active during the day and all that energy has to be channeled in some way to avoid accidents at home, I consider them very intelligent, curious, with a very accentuated personality so you have to train them correctly.

This breed is very friendly, as all dogs will have a person from their family circle they choose as their favorite leader, but they will respect the rest of the family and will be a loving and loyal companion, only their most intimate circle (that is why I say that the personality of this breed is unique) they will have the privilege of being greeted by wagging their tail, but as if it were a bobbing that comes from within. This greeting is very selective, you will notice that not everyone receives in the same way this is a distinctive feature in this breed. Being watchdogs, I must tell you that the home and the car belong to the Schnauzer, as well as their bed and if they allow it to be mounted on the furniture they will belong to it, it is something that many will amaze but nobody will be able to approach without being detected by a great bark that when you cross the door contradicts its medium size.
