Welcome To

Hello, and I welcome you to Mustang Prairie Schnauzers. My name is Diane O'Neal. We own a kennel between Kosse and Bremond Texas, and raise Miniature Schnauzers as will as Palms. We are just now starting to also raise toy schnauzers and Party Schnauzers. We have started out with a small kennel and only had a few dogs. However, through the years we have grown. Now we have about 20 Schnauzers and we are constantly getting bigger. We have grown to enjoy the company of these dogs and have learned a tremendous amount about them. They are extremely smart dogs, and can be trained to do tricks and other things. We now have five times as many dogs as when we started and are enjoying them. If you would like to visit us please visit the contacts page. We Thank you for visiting our website.

In the chat room below we welcome all people interested in our Schnauzers. Here you can ask questions about us and we will be glad to answer them.

Schnauzer Information

Mustang Prairie Schnauzers are raised with a lot of love and care. They are great house pets or yard pets. Miniature Schnauzers do not shed, are good with kids, and are extremely lovable pets. All of my schnauzers are wormed and had first shots when ready to be sold. I feed all of my dogs Iams dog food.

The Miniature Schnauzers, also called Mini Schnauzer, a product of Germany, is believed to have resulted from a crossing of the Standard Schnauzer with Affenpinschers and perhaps Poodles or Miniature Pinschers. They were exhibited as a distinct breed as early as 1899. The Schnauzer breed takes its name from one of its kind, a show dog winner by that name, "Schnauzer", at the 1879 Hanover Show in Germany. The name "schnauz bart" means "conspicuous moustache or beard". It was first used as a barnyard ratter and many still exhibit that typical terrier rodent prey trait today. Although introduced to the North American continent in 1925, it never gained much popularity in America, until 1946 when one went Best in Show at a prestigious event. A national breed club was formed in the United States in 1933 followed eighteen years later, in 1951, by a similar club in Canada.

The Mini Schnauzer is a robust, active dog of terrier type, resembling his larger cousin, the Standard Schnauzer, in not only general appearance but also of alert active disposition. It is spirited, yet obedient to command. Friendly, spunky, intelligent, and willing to please, it should never be over-aggressive or timid. It is sturdily built, with plenty of bone, and is nearly square. The coat is a double one, hard and wiry, with a close undercoat. The typical color is pepper and salt in shades of grey, tan shading is permissible. Black is the only solid color allowed. The Miniature Schnauzer is happy anywhere, from a small apartment, to spacious suburban living. Its coat only sheds a little, but should have a brushing three times a week. Its intelligence make it a highly trainable dog. It makes an excellent watchdog, but some may bark a lot. Its good nature, liking of children and bonding to the whole family make it an excellent choice for family pet.
