How to distinguish the good from the bad of the Chenery? Chenery good or bad can be distinguished from the appearance, Snowy eyes small, dark brown, deep position, the shape and length of the two ears consistent, with upward pointed angle, head strong, rectangular, body structure solid, body close to square, both height and body length roughly equal, sufficient bone mass, no place looks like a toy. The [body type] shoulder height range is 12 inches to 14 inches. The body structure is solid, the body is close to square, both height and length are approximately equal, there is sufficient bone mass, and there is no place that looks like a toy. The [head] eyes are small, dark brown and deep. The eyes are oval and sharp-eyed. The ears, if trimmed, are uniform in shape and length with an upward pointing angle. Their length is proportionate to the size of the head and no exaggerated length is allowed. The ears are located higher on the head, with the inner edge vertical and upward, and the outer edge may be slightly bell-shaped. If uncropped, the ears are small, V-shaped, and folded over the top of the head (button ears). The head is firm and rectangular in shape, and its width tapers from the ears to the eyes and then to the nose. The forehead is not wrinkled the forehead is flat and quite long. The muzzle is parallel to the forehead, with a stop, and the muzzle is the same length as the forehead. The muzzle is firm and properly proportioned to the entire head; the muzzle ends at a moderate obtuse angle and has a dense beard to form a rectangular head profile. The bite is a clipped bite. [The neck is strong and slightly arched, perfectly integrated with the shoulders, and the skin of the throat is compact and wraps around the neck in just the right way. The body is short and deep, with the chest reaching at least elbow depth. The ribs are well expanded and at the right depth, united backwards with a short loin. The dorsal line is straight; it slopes slightly downward from the shoulders to the root of the tail. The shoulder of the horse is the highest point of the body. The length from the chest to the rump is equal to the height of the horse’s shoulder rump. The root of the tail is high and the tail is held up. The tail needs to be broken and retained at a length that is just above the dorsal line when the dog’s coat is the proper length. The [forequarters] forelimbs are straight and parallel to each other when viewed from all angles. They have sturdy wrists and ample bone mass. The moderately deep chest is located between the two forelimbs. The elbows are close to the body. The shoulders are sloping, well muscled, flat and neat. They are well integrated with the spine so that the lateral side of the scapula lies just above the elbow. The scapulae are angled forward and downward and at the proper angle so that the forelimbs can reach forward to the greatest extent possible without constraint. Both the scapula and forearm are long, thus allowing sufficient depth to the chest. The paws are short and rounded (cat foot), with thick, black pads. The toes are arch-shaped and compact. The [hindquarters] hindquarters have well-muscled, sloping thighs. It has proper angle at the hind knee joint. In a standard stance, there is enough angle to allow the fly joint end to extend beyond the tail. The hindquarters do not appear to be larger or higher than the shoulders. The hind quarters are short, perpendicular to the ground in standard stance, and parallel to each other when viewed from behind. Defects: sickle legs, cowl limbs, O-shaped legs or bent hind legs. [Coat] Double coat, with hard outer bristles and dense undercoat. The head, neck, ears, chest, tail and body need to be stripped of hair. [Color] The recognized colors are pretzel, black and silver, and solid black. Regardless of the color, the pigmentation of the skin must be very uniform, that is to say, white or pink patches anywhere on the skin are not allowed.1. Pretzel color: The typical pretzel color is formed with a combination of black and white bicolor hair, pure black, and pure white hair, with black and white bicolor hair dominating. All kinds of pretzel color is acceptable from lighter color light pretzel color to darker color, with brown shades of pretzel color are allowed. The coat of a pretzel-colored dog will gradually transition to light gray or silvery white in the following areas: eyebrows, whiskers, cheeks, under the throat, inside the ears, chest, under the tail, under the legs and on the inside of the hind legs. In addition, the underside of his belly may become lighter as well. However, the light-colored part should not extend to the sides of the body, above the elbows. 2. Black and silver: The style of black and silver is the same as the pretzel color. In the place of pretzel color must be pure black. The black and silver draped hair should have black undercoat inside. The hair that fades to brown needs to be stripped and the undercoat under the belly should be dark. 3. Pure black: Pure black is the only recognized single color. The ideal color is a very dense black coat with a slightly lighter, softer undercoat, which is ideal anywhere. Brown or faded hairs should be stripped. The color of the coat will lighten in the parts that are shaved with scissors or electric clippers. Small white patches on the chest or occasional white hairs elsewhere on the body are permissible. [Gait] When the forelimbs are observed from the front, the elbows are close to the body and straight forward, neither outward nor inward. Observe the hind limbs from behind, with the hind limbs straight and moving in the same plane as the corresponding fore limbs. Note that generally after completing a brisk walk, the hind legs will continue to move in the same plane as the front legs, but with a slight inward tilt, which is permissible. Observation from the front requires the shoulder point to be the reference, and observation from the rear requires the hip union point to be the reference. Whether viewed from the front or from the rear, the front or hind limbs are vertical from the reference point to the ground. When the Miniature Schnauzer walks, the leg tilts inward at such a small angle that it can barely be distinguished with the naked eye. The toes cannot be crossed and the elbows cannot be turned out. When viewed from the side, the front limbs can be fully extended and the hindquarters are well driven. The foot paws do not turn inward or outward. [Temperament] The typical Miniature Schnauzer is brave, alert, and tame at the same time. He is very friendly, intelligent and likes to please his owner. Must not be aggressive or overly timid.
