What’s In A Woozle

The term woozle is one I made up a technical term for a schnauzer beard.  Any dog with a good beard can use the term woozle.  My girlfriend Bella’s woozle always looks perfect. *sigh*

People often take pleasure in photographing the dreaded “sleep-woozle.”

Here’s a link to more woozle related posts for clarification.

Coats of Many Colors

First of all let me assure you all that I am fine. My vet bill was just for my check-up, some booster shots, my flea & tick medicine, my heartworm medicine, some special food for my teeth & my license, although I’m told I still am not allowed to drive (unfair)!

Anyway, today’s schnauzer lessons are about schnauzer colors. The American Kennel Club only recognizes salt and pepper, black and silver and solid black, but the breeders have made many more colored schnauzers.

Just so you know parti colored means having a predominant color broken by patches of one or more other colors.

I’ve been asked some questions about schnauzers, so here are some answers from someone who should know!

Your first schnauzer lesson is about size. Schanuzers come in 3 sizes, small, medium & large.

Large is the giant schnauzer. Whew, that’s a lot of schnauzer!

Medium is the standard schnauzer.

And small is the best, the miniature schnauzer.

Of course no entry of The Daily Oskar would be complete without a picture of me. You can see I’m quite tired after giving you all of that information.
