Choosing gender of your mini schnauzer puppy

Here, we briefly explain general characteristics of gender with the pros and cons for both males and females.

Females: “Loving Miss Independent...”

Yet, love their families intensely!

 Females can be  slightly more aloof and independent than males. 

Also, females may at times be a little more stubborn about learning commands. 

It is also commonly known that females are more likely to slightly urinate when excited.

 Spay your female to avoid moodiness and bleeding from heat cycles. As well as to prevent possible reproductive related health issues.

Males: “Ol’ Faithful”

Males tend to be slightly more loyal and committed.

 Males give lots of love and want to receive lots in return.

Unless trained otherwise, they may jump onto your lap, UNINVITED!

 A male is more likely to follow you everywhere even when that may not be desired.

Males are more likely to be “needy”, so be ready for the possibility of man‘s best friend always being by your side AND UNDER FOOT - HELP !!! 

About the bad rap for males - the “dreadful dog behaviors” widely associated with males, such as fighting with other dogs, lifting his leg to mark everything in HIS territory, humping, aggression, etc., are characteristic ONLY in unneutered males. Neutering (reprogramming) your “little fella”will eliminate much of his natural need to seek females in heat, so he can focus rather on human family members!

In fact, BOTH males and females become better family members after being spayed/neutered.

  ”Being fixed” substantially reduces gender-driven behaviors. Schnese and Schnoodle mini schnauzer
