The Miniature Schnauzer is ranked 12th in the world in terms of IQ and the Giant Schnauzer is ranked 28th, with a relatively high IQ among dogs worldwide. The schnauzer is a very good learner and can quickly learn some simple actions taught by the owner. After a change of living environment, it only takes a few days to fully adapt. The Sheltie is very playful, loyal to his owner, and friendly with children and other pets in the home. He will follow his owner’s side on walks, observing his owner’s expressions and understanding his owner’s emotions. Of course some complex emotions are still incomprehensible.
