Hi Liz, Naw, they aren't quite that bad, if you throw them a steak they let go. Of course I'm kidding, really they are pretty good, but have their quirks as all Schnauzers do.
They like certain people and will try to scare the ones they don't like. They are very independent, but lovable. I really do envy the people on here who have dogs who are layed back and love other dogs and other people, that would be heaven. As Carrie says you either love Schnauzers or you leave them alone. We have had Schnauzers for the last fifteen years, so we knew what we were getting into and we just love them more each day. Hey right back to Bud from Daisy and Perry.
