Being bred in Germany led to a German moniker. Schnauze comes from the German word for muzzle, referring to the dog's square snout and distinct facial hair.
The mustache isn't just for show...Miniature schnauzers were farm dogs that were used as ratters, bred to hunt and kill any uninvited guests. The thick facial hair was sometimes matted down into thick armor that protected the canine's face from any potential retaliation from its prey.
In the 1800s, breeders decided that a smaller schnauzer would be ideal for households. They bred the standard schnauzer with the poodle and affenpinscher to make a more compact version. By 1899 the miniature schnauzer was recognized as its own breed.
Farmers would sometimes use a miniature schnauzer and a German shepherd as a protective team that could ward of predators and keep livestock safe. The miniature schnauzer's excellent hearing and loud barking alerted the German shepherd when there was trouble.
