The Miniature Schnauzer (German: Zwergschnauzer) is a dog breed available in Nintendogs and Nintendogs + Cats.
Breed Information[]
Official artwork of the Schnauzer
The Miniature Schnauzer deserves its place as one of the most popular terrier breeds--the dog breed is playful, alert, spunky, and companionable.
A Miniature Schnauzer is a well-mannered housedog that clearly enjoys being in the middle of activities. It is less domineering than larger Schnauzers and less aggressive towards other dogs than most terriers. It is also better with other animals than most terriers, although it will gladly give chase. It is clever and can be stubborn but is generally biddable. It enjoys children, though some may bark quite a lot.
