Welcome to the Mini Schnauzer community!
Figured I'd start by spamming my own Mini Schnauzer, our little Ruby!
I'm new to the moderator game, so bear with me. Lemmy seems like a pretty chill place compared to Reddit so I'll try it out with something straight-forward and dear to my heart.
I grew up with Miniature Schnauzers, among other types of dogs. In fact, our very first puppy was one! Jack. Followed by Jill, naturally. I'm sure you'll see them on here at some point! Even though they are no longer with me, they hold a special place in my heart.
As I got my own home established, my husband and I decided that another Mini Schnauzer would be a wonderful fit as our first together.
Ruby was the runt of the litter and is quite the timid, delicate flower; but we are of course smitten.
Excited to see all the photos and hear all the stories! Hopefully we can all also provide some insights to those thinking of getting one themselves and any issues people may be having with their stubborn little ones.
Ruby is very cute! I have a weak spot for runts. Mini schnauzers are my husband's favourite breed. He really wants one named Gandalf.
Long story short, we were supposed to have our pick of the litter and then when we inquired, she ended up being the only one left! She turned out to be very chill and quiet which suits us perfectly, so it was really meant to be. Just some issues with anxiety but who doesn't at this point.
Gandalf would be a great name! Really grow out the beard to match.
