and Origin
Schnauzers,
as its name can denote it, is of German origin.
It is of very old origin but in spite of this,
they were not recognized officially until based
the PSK (Pinscher Schnauzer Klub), its creation
was due to the will of fans that seted out to
obtain a dog with precise characteristics
without resorting to other races, to create an
own standard.
At
first used to denominate them
"pinscher", that is the equivalent one
of the English terrier, since they have
similarity in the character (disposition to hunt
rodents or foxes) also physiological (beards and
smooth hair very similar to some terriers or
pinschers).
It
was until beginning of century XX when began to
call Schnauzer by its characteristic beard and
mustached snout, since until then, has been
called deutsche kurzhaarige pinscher (German
pincher of short hair).
The
23 of May of 1895, important date in the past of
the Schnauzer, in Seesenam Harz, during the
original assembly, were approved the regulation
and the standard for the variety of pinschers of
hard hair, in this meeting stayed the idea of J.
Berta (important personage in the origins of
this race) to extend the club to all the types
of pinscher of hard hair. In this meeting also
one remembered rely on the standard of the
associations of luxury dogs and the fox terrier,
in order to continue extending the number of
