A Schnauzer (/ˈʃnaʊzər,ˈʃnaʊtsər/SHNOW-zər, SHNOWT-sər, German:[ˈʃnaʊtsɐ]ⓘ; plural Schnauzer, German:[ˈʃnaʊ̯t͡sɐ]ⓘ; lit.'snouter') is a dog breed type that originated in Germany from the 14th to 16th centuries.[1][2][3] The term comes from the German word for "snout" and means colloquially "moustache",[4] or "whiskered snout",[1] because of the dog's distinctively bearded snout.[5] Initially it was called Wire-Haired Pinscher, while Schnauzer was adopted in 1879.[1][6]

The breed today known as the Standard Schnauzer, one of Europe's supreme all-around farm dogs, has a lineage going back to at least the 15th century... the Miniature Schnauzer resides in the AKC Terrier Group with other diminutive rat-catcher breeds. But the Mini is unique among AKC terriers in that he has no British blood in his veins... Alone among terriers, the Miniature Schnauzer is wholly a product of Continental stock: Standard Schnauzer, Affenpinscher, and Poodle. This explains that though the Mini was born to the traditional work of small terriers, his personality is quite different. Not for him is the dour independence of the Scottish Terrier or the fiery temperament of the Irish Terrier. Rather, he is an overtly friendly dog, spirited but obedient and willing to please.
