MINIATURE SCHNAUZER GROOMING CHARTS
A correct miniature schnauzer cut makes all the difference to having a great looking schnauzer.
A miniature schnauzer’s body hair is cut short. They have a low skirt, fluffy legs and chest, and the trimmings emphasize the shape of the body. A miniature schnauzer has a square looking face and a bushy full beard. You should be able to clearly see their eyes when you look at them. The Schnauzer Friends Miniature Schnauzer Grooming Charts provide the map/guideline for grooming a miniature schnauzer.

A GROOMER/PARLOUR SHOULD NOT BE CHARGING YOU IF THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!
Most parlours and mobile groomers do not know how to do a proper schnauzer cut and end up shaving the nose, leaving long puffy legs and high skirts like a scotty dog.

Most parlours and mobile groomers do not know how to do a proper schnauzer cut and end up shaving the nose, leaving long puffy legs and high skirts like a scotty dog.
Common mistakes parlours/groomers make:
- They leave too much hair on the body and legs. Not only does this look horrible, it also makes it much harder to brush and maintain your schnauzer as there is just too much hair!
- They shave the hair off a schnauzers nose! If they do this it takes ages to grow back.
- They trim the hair off underneath a schnauzers eyes! If they do this it also takes ages to grow back and your schnauzer looks like a raccoon.
- They leave the eyebrows so that the schnauzer cannot see out of their eyes. The angle to cut is from the middle of the nose to the outer corner of the eye.
- They leave long hair on the paws. You should be able to see your schnauzers nails and the pads should be free of hair sticking out.
The below picture shows what a miniature schnauzers body and face should look like.
