Picking A Puppy
How Do I Choose?
It's hard to envision how a puppy will look as an adult. You can expect your Schnauzer to possibly undergo a color change starting from a few weeks after birth up to adulthood. A Schnauzer’s coat can change color over time due to clipping, aging, health and diet, and genetics. Their coats can also fade as they age. This puppy's brown color turned a beautiful silver at his first grooming at 7 weeks.
Developing a Personality
For the first 3 weeks the puppy's whole day is nursing from their mother, sleeping, and wiggling around their pen. Around 4 weeks you begin to see a personality emerge. At 5 weeks they are playing with their siblings and exploring their surroundings. It is not possible to know their disposition before this time.
Preparing Your Puppy For You
From day 1 our family is interacting with each puppy. They are held and cuddled and getting used to humans and their touch. We sit in their play area and socialize with each one. They learn to use puppy pads and play with doggy toys. Our grandsons help them to learn about children and they are also visited by the family cat around 6 - 7 weeks. We do not take them outside until they have received their first shots. We want your puppy to be ready to go to your home so we try to expose them to as many household sights and noises as we can.
