Tanya, I am guessing that Hans was socialized with other people and dogs when he was a puppy so is used to them
In our case, we are retired and are with Daisy and Perry all the time, they have not been exposed to small children or any other dogs except our daughter-in-laws Schnauzers and they get along fine with them. It is our fault that they are that way, as we didn't know enough to socialize them like we should have, so we are very careful in taking them out anywhere. I may be wrong, but looking on the Schnauzer Rescue board, most Schnazers are not adopted to families with small children, I think you are very fortunate that Hans is so easy to get along with.
