Purebred Schnauzer Characteristics Head: The purebred Schnauzer has a broad head that narrows toward the end of the nose and a distinct moustache. Coat: The common coat color of the Chenery is black and white: the black and white color here refers to the black and white horizontal lines of each coat, rather than a mixture of black and white coats. Shedding allows the original coat to remain, while clipping can lose the original coat color. Miniature schnauzers have a soft undercoat in colors ranging from black, dark gray to light gray, or beige. If clipped, the undercoat must be left behind. Brow: The brow is medium and extends from the skull to the muzzle, making for a beautiful, white brow. Ears: The purebred schnauzer’s ears are V-shaped, with the root of the ear positioned high and folded forward. In addition to increasing aesthetics and highlighting the spirit, ear clipping also strengthens the hearing ability and reduces work-related injuries. The best time to cut the ears is between three and five months of age. Eyes: Medium sized, oval shaped and dark. Nose: A purebred schnauzer should have a black nose and wide nostrils. Body Type: Thick, medium width chest with a straight back that tilts backwards.
