About schnau tzus

The Schnau-Tzu is a friendly and playful hybrid that was developed by crossbreeding the Miniature Schnauzer and the Shih Tzu. This breed combines the alert and spirited disposition of the Schnauzer with the playful and clever personality of the Shih Tzu. The Schnau-Tzu is an adaptable breed which makes them a loyal companion for both adults and children. When socialized from a young age, this friendly hybrid will be comfortable in new environments and around new people. Their activity level may vary depending on the dog, but you will find this breed has a medium-energy level and will enjoy playtime with their human companion and other family pets. Depending on which parent trait they inherit, Schnau-Tzu's coat can range from wired to a soft double-coat. This highly social breed will be the perfect best friend to bring home to the family and take everywhere you go.
