White Miniature Schnauzer

The Miniature Schnauzer is a breed of small dog of the Schnauzer type that originated in Germany in the mid-to-late 19th century. Miniature Schnauzers may have evolved from the smallest specimens of the Standard Schnauzer, or crosses between the Standard and one or more smaller breeds such as the Affenpinscher and Miniature Pinscher.

White Miniature Schnauzers are one of the four color varieties recognized by the World Canine Organization (FCI). However, they are not always recognized for show by all kennel clubs in all countries. As a living animal, it is not a 'branded product' in a commercial sense, though it descends from genetic stock lines established in Germany and developed globally by various breeders.
