Where does Schnigel come from?
The Schnigel is a type of designer dog, a recent term given to a new and popular trend of deliberately breeding first-generation offspring. Most have two purebreds as parents and some are created with thought and care but many are not. Pay attention to the dog's habits and preferences. They are very much in the designer dog market and you should not let your money fund them. With many of these dogs we have no original on them so we look to both parents for some ideas. Keep in mind that there are no guarantees with designer dogs, as only first-generation dogs can have any combination of genes. Sales Point Many breeders give the best of both parents. But in reality even the same litter of dogs can have a big difference in appearance and temperament.
Beagle.
You can trace beagles back to Roman times as dogs, but the original beagle we have now can't be traced back that far. As with many dogs its history is a bit confusing. In the mid 1800's you can see the beginnings of the Beagle as we know it today when they were bred for hunting skills.
Today the Beagle is gentle and will often make you laugh with their antics, but also make you cry with their mischief! They are difficult things that you are good at listening to or not listening to. He loves to follow scents and is great with children - they get up to their mischief together!
Miniature schnauzer.
This dog was bred to be a rutter in the fields and to be a guard dog. It was bred in Germany in the mid to late 1800s by crossing the Standard Schnauzer with other smaller breeds. Breeding was difficult in Europe during the World Wars and some breeds almost disappeared, but the Miniature Schnauzer remained popular. In those days you could get them in different colors but not so much today!
Today he is a lively dog who loves to be in the middle of family outings and is quite the extrovert. He loves to receive love and attention and is loved in return. He's energetic and confident, and his need to be around people will mean he'll follow you around. He will love to crawl into your lap and he will try to make you do what he wants.
Mood
Shingle is a friendly, playful and funny dog to be around! She is active and social so likes to have people around her, make friends, be at the center of family activities. She is intelligent and loyal and will follow her owners around the house to stay physically close to you. She is attentive and protective and alert. She loves to cuddle and will see your lap as a place to rest at the end of the day or your bed where she wants to sleep. She is a great companion and family dog and will bond closely. She is eager to please but can also be stubborn.
What does Schnegel look like?
He is a small dog that weighs 7 to 25 pounds and has soft ears, sometimes a name on his neck, a long muzzle with a black nose, strong but short legs and a compact body. It may have a coat like its parents or even a mix but it may be shorter and thicker or longer in places. Common colors are tan, lemon, black, tricolor and white.
Training and exercise requirements.
How active does Schnegel need to be?
He is quite an active little dog so he will need daily exercise. She can adapt to living in an apartment though as long as she can find one. Going to the dog park would be a good idea to give him time to leash, socialize and play dog games with you. She likes to go for walks but can tend to pick up scents and want to follow them, or try to chase small animals. She will play indoors for some time and some toys will challenge her mentally. Access to the yard is a bonus place for him to play but not a necessity for this dog.
Does she train early?
This dog is moderately trainable, she can be eager to please and she is smart so training can be moderately easy in some cases. But she can also be stubborn and if she leans more towards the beagle it can be a little difficult. Be firm with him but be fair and positive. Keep your training consistent and use treats, praise, and so on as a way to approach it. Be patient and calm and stick with him as early training and socialization are essential to ensure he is the best dog he can be. Results may be gradual but worth it.
Living with a snail.
How much cleaning is needed?
She will have moderate grooming needs, she sheds somewhere between a low to medium amount so she will need to be brushed two to four times a week and may have some loose hair to clean. Brushing will keep his coat looking healthy and give him a bath when he needs it so as not to affect the natural oils in his skin. Use dog shampoo to wash it and clean and wipe its ears once a week. When his nails get too long, they need to be trimmed and his teeth should be brushed two to three times a week.
How is he with children and other animals?
She is not the most natural with children but with early socialization, she can be playful and loving as she grows up with them. If you're getting a dog and you already have kids, older ones work better. She gets along well with other dogs but tends to chase small animals and other pets.
General information
The Schneagle is a frequent barker at times so if there are strict noise laws where you live they may not be the best choice. He is not always reliable as a supervisor. He should be fed 1 1/2 cups of good quality dry dog food divided into two meals a day.
Health concerns.
Schnigels can inherit certain health problems from their parents such as intervertebral disc disease, eye problems, epilepsy, urinary stones, hypothyroidism, beagle dwarfism, CBS, patellar luxation, von Willebrand's, congenital megaesophagus, hip dysplasia and Ear infections. Look at the conditions the dog is kept in and only buy from a breeder who can give you a health clearance so you can try to avoid some of the above problems.
