HISTORY OF THE BREED

The Standard Schnauzer breed goes back to the fifteenth century. The Standard Schnauzer life was not the stylish life of silken pillows and a coach-and-four, but the plebeian life of the trusted guard and family dog of the working class. The word "Schnauzer" appeared in dog literature for the first time in 1842 when it was used as a synonym for Wire-haired Pinscher. The Wire-haired Pinscher was accepted as a pure, individual breed around 1850. The breed was variously designated as Rauhaar Pinscher (rough haired terrier), Rattenfanger (rat catcher), and Schnauzer.
