Another historical site that welcomes dogs is the Fort Snelling State Park, which offers plenty of hiking trails and historical exhibits to explore.

FAQ’s

Q: What is the ideal living situation for a Miniature Schnauzer in Minnesota?

A: Miniature Schnauzers adapt well to both apartment and house living, but they thrive in homes with fenced yards, allowing them to explore and play safely. Given Minnesota’s varying weather conditions, providing a comfortable indoor space is crucial, especially during extreme temperatures.

Q: How do I protect my Mini Schnauzer from the cold winters in Minnesota?

A: Mini Schnauzers have a wiry double coat that offers some protection, but they can still get cold in harsh weather. Invest in a doggy sweater or jacket for winter walks and consider providing a warm bed indoors. Limit outdoor exposure during extremely cold conditions and keep an eye on their paws for any signs of discomfort from ice and salt.

Q: What kind of grooming routine should I follow for my Miniature Schnauzer in Minnesota?

A: Regular grooming is essential for Miniature Schnauzers due to their distinctive double coat. Brush their coat weekly to prevent matting, and schedule professional grooming every 6-8 weeks for a trim. Keep their facial hair clean to prevent staining, and pay attention to their ears, as Schnauzers are prone to ear infections.

Q: Are Mini Schnauzers good with children and other pets in a family setting?

A: Miniature Schnauzers are generally good with children and other pets when properly socialized from a young age. However, always supervise interactions, especially with smaller children, and teach kids how to handle and approach the dog respectfully.

Q: How much exercise does a Miniature Schnauzer need in Minnesota?

A: Mini Schnauzers are an energetic breed and benefit from daily walks and playtime. Minnesota’s varied seasons provide opportunities for different activities, such as indoor play during the winter and outdoor adventures in milder weather. Mental stimulation, like puzzle toys, can also help keep them entertained.

Q: What health considerations should I be aware of for Miniature Schnauzers in Minnesota?

A: Keep an eye on their weight to prevent obesity, which can lead to various health issues. Regular veterinary check-ups are crucial to monitor for breed-specific concerns such as eye problems, skin conditions, and dental health. Provide a balanced diet and keep them hydrated, especially during hot summer months.

Q: How do I find a reputable breeder or rescue organization for a Miniature Schnauzer in Minnesota?

A: Research reputable breeders through local kennel clubs or national breed organizations. Additionally, consider adopting from rescue organizations or shelters. Ensure that any breeder or rescue group you choose follows ethical breeding practices and prioritizes the health and well-being of the dogs.

Q: What training challenges might I encounter with a Miniature Schnauzer in Minnesota?

A: Mini Schnauzers are intelligent and eager to please, but they can be stubborn. Consistent, positive reinforcement training works best. Be patient and start training early to establish good behavior habits. Socialization is crucial to ensure they are comfortable around various people, pets, and environments.

Remember that each Miniature Schnauzer is unique, so it’s essential to tailor your care and training approach to your specific dog’s personality and need

If you are interested in a mini schnauzer I highly recommend Fernweh Miniature Schnauzers. Not only do they take your wants in a dog into consideration but they also assess the personalities of the puppies to make sure you get a puppy that will be a great fit for your family. Erica made the whole process very easy too. In fact, we were so impressed with them as breeders and love our Fernweh mini so much we’re bringing home another soon!

After a lot of research on miniature schnauzers and looking at numerous breeders both local and out of town, we found Erika and her puppies to be the top quality dog we were looking for. We were so thrilled to be able to get our little boy, Achilles, during the pandemic. He is healthy, well behaved and such a happy boy! He had a great head start on potty and crate training when we got him, so this process was very easy for him. We are very thankful for Fernweh Miniature Schnauzers and highly recommend them. We’ll definitely be reaching out when we’re ready for Achilles’ sibling 🙂

The team at Fernweh Mini Schnauzers does an incredible job of screening and working with prospective owners. They spent time talking to me about my previous Mini Schnauzer and what i was looking for. They were attentive and replied back quickly whenever I had questions. Our little Winnie is going to be 1 year old this March and we could not imagine life without her. She has brought so much energy and joy into our lives and is great with her little brother! Would highly recommend Fernweh Miniature Schnauzers

Erica did a great job with potty training our puppy and making sure the puppies were healthy. We lost one of our dogs to cancer and our Gracie seemed very depressed after that. Once we brought home Callie, she seems to be much happier. Erica made the process very easy and everything was extremely professional. I did a lot of research and Fernweh Schauzers is the most reputable place to get a dog that was bred with healthy practices.

I got my puppy in July 2020 in the middle of the pandemic. Even with all crazy stuff going on, Fernweh (Erica) was able to provide us a great experience. The puppy was well taken care of and Erica is super open to answer any question of those who are first timers, like me. The puppy brought home her litter blanket, what was wonderful and super helpful on her transition. Those "small" details that make this breeder a great and reliable one. I totally recommend them 🙂 Our puppy Scully came to complete our family <3

We couldn't be happier with our Fernweh Miniature Schnauzer. Finding Fernweh seemed like fate. We have a 13 yr old Schnauzer mix at home and last spring were feeling the pandemic would be the right time to welcome another dog to our home. We happened to meet another Fernweh pup in our neighborhood on a family walk. We immediately connected with Erica who was extremely responsive and helpful. To our luck, there was a new litter available and we were able to match the "personality" of our family to the right puppy. When we picked up Arnie, everything was so well prepared. He transitioned extremely well to our home which in addition to our older dog, includes two children, ages 8 and 10. Arnie is "their" dog and they love caring for him. Arnie has now been with us for almost 9 months and we can't imagine life without him!

Erica from Fernweh schnauzers was instrumental in the adoption of our little pup, Emma , now 7 months old. The focus on healthcare for the pups was an important aspect to our successful adoption. Erica was an amazing resource during our pups transition to our home. Emma is a healthy, active , obedient and fun loving dog which is a reflection of Fernweh’s care and concerns for their pups. I highly recommend Fernweh breeders,they’re the best!

We chose Fernweh for their breeding practices, socialization program, and health guarantees. Our questions and concerns were answered and Erica helped us choose a puppy that would best fit in with our family. We took her home in the Fall of 2020 and she is doing great. We would, and have, recommended Fernweh to anyone looking to add a mini to their family.
