Here are my babies! Jet and Star are my Miniature Schnauzers. Jet is a USA Champion and Star is, well, just Star!
No. her color is not black enough and she is a little on the small size. With Schnauzers, there are only 3 AKC 'allowable' coat colors... Black, Black & Silver, and Salt & Pepper. The judges do not like black Schnauzers, especially bitches, and will disqualify them if there is any white hairs on their body except for a samll spot on the chest.They are gorgeous Marcia! Are you going to show Star one day too?
Thanks... I think so, too! Actually, Star wasn't quite grown in the pic but she is a very petite adult now. Many breeders are trying to breed 'toy' Schnauzers, but AKC will not sanction them if they are under 12" at the shoulders. Star is 12.5" and weighs about 12 lbs., while Jet is 14" and weighs just under 19 lbs.Ah, she's so tiny I thought maybe she was still really young. Anyway, she's a champion in my book!
