Nowadays, there are many breeds of dogs, and the same breed is often divided into many types, which is generally difficult for many novices to distinguish. The schnauzer breed, for example, is generally refined and sturdy, but is divided into small, standard and large breeds according to size. What are the characteristics of a purebred standard schnauzer? 1. Look at its head: The standard schnauzer has a rectangular head that looks long and sturdy. The eyes are medium sized, oval, generally dark brown, and maintain a forward looking posture; its ears are v-shaped, and if they have been clipped, the ears should be erect; if they have not been clipped, the ears are folded forward. It is a special feature that the Chenery has long bristles on its muzzle and eyes, looking like a “little old man”. 2, look at its coat: the standard Chenery has a dense and coarse hard bristles, looks very rough, there is another layer of soft and tight bottom hair, if you look closely, its hair grows backwards, neither smooth nor flat. Flat, generally the color is pretzel or pure black. It has longer hair on its muzzle and eyes, forming eyebrows and whiskers, and longer hair on its legs. 3, look at its body: the standard Chenery has flat and muscular shoulders, a short and deep chest, a slightly curved back, sturdy and solid, and the whole body appears compact and brief. The front limbs of the Chenery are straight, the hind limbs are muscular, and its tail is generally short and upward. 4, look at its gait: the standard Chenery shows a strong, agile, generous gait when walking and running, with no swaying, undulating or arching redundant movements. When he accelerates, his paws will come closer to the center of his body, but will not touch or cross.

In addition, the best way to determine whether a dog is a purebred is to trace the origin of the dog’s pedigree back to the previous generation, preferably with clear records, and, of course, to look at the dog’s mental state, health, etc.
