Dogs In The Working Group

The Standard Schnauzer originated in Germany.  The Standard Schnauzer is the oldest of the three schnauzer breeds.  Their dominate characteristic is their moustache and beard;  it is also how their name was derived (schnauze is a German word meaning moustache/beard).  The Standard Schnauzer was originally placed in the terrier group (because of their vermin hunting);  in Germany they were always considered part of the working group.  The Standard Schnauzer was recognized by AKC in 1904.
