Tail Miniature Schnauzer Puppies for sale in Lafayette, Indiana

16 Tail Miniature Schnauzer Puppies for sale in Lafayette, Indiana

Also called the Zwergschnauzer or Dwarf Schnauzer, the Miniature Schnauzer is a spirited, affectionate, and intelligent breed that makes an excellent family companion. Known for their distinctive beard and eyebrows, these energetic little dogs are loyal, playful, and eager to please — a perfect fit for active families who enjoy spending time outdoors.

The Miniature Schnauzer originated in Germany in the late 19th century, developed by breeding the Standard Schnauzer down in size to create a small but sturdy ratter for farms. The breed quickly became valued not only for its usefulness but also for its cheerful personality and intelligence. The Miniature Schnauzer was officially recognized as a separate breed in 1899 and joined the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1926 under the Terrier Group — the only Schnauzer classified as such. Today, the Miniature Schnauzer remains one of the most popular small dog breeds worldwide. Compact and squarely built, they feature a double coat that is wiry on the outside and soft underneath, most often in salt-and-pepper, black, or silver color variations. Their iconic beard and bushy eyebrows give them a sharp, expressive look that matches their lively personality.

Miniature Schnauzers are alert, loyal, and full of personality. They love to be involved in family activities and are excellent with children when socialized early. Though small, they make effective watchdogs thanks to their instinct to bark at unfamiliar sounds — a trait that may require patient training in apartment settings. These intelligent dogs respond well to positive reinforcement and consistent leadership. They enjoy good health overall but can be prone to conditions like pancreatitis or heart issues such as pulmonic stenosis. Grooming is essential for this double-coated breed: brushing two to three times weekly and professional trimming every couple of months keeps their coat in top condition. Despite their grooming needs, they shed very little and produce minimal dander, making them one of the most hypoallergenic breeds available. With daily exercise, love, and engagement, the Miniature Schnauzer proves to be a devoted, joyful companion who brings energy and warmth to any home.
