If miniature Schnauzer are socialized right they are excellent pets.  I can't stress enough about training.  Every dog need some type of socialization training.  I hear all the time, I can do the training myself.  That's fine, but they need socialization an noise distraction. Get your miniature Schnauzer enrolled in some type of training classes.  So so important!
