: : Maggie: My husband and I own 3 mini-schnauzers, the oldest : : being almost 4 and the youngest just turned 1. Also, we own : : a 5 yr old puggie and a 6 month old wire haired fox terrier. We : : have our hands full, that's for sure. In reference to your 'prob- : : lem child'....I honestly am not seeing one with the exception of : : the potty issue. Have you taken the pup to the vet to see if per- : : haps he/she may have a urinary tract infection? As far as the : : barking, growling, protectiveness goes.....I have that with all : : 3 of mine. My oldest, Mischief is the least protective...my mid- : : ddle, Viper is the most vocal as well as protective. They all : : will bark if anyone in our household crosses the baby gates, know- : : ing darn well who they are....as for myself..they never let out : : a peep, unless when I return home from work, the garage door : : opens and I can hear all of them barking, waiting for my entrance : : to greet mom. My youngest, Blizzard is for sure a 'momma's boy'. : : He is by far the most jealous as well. If any other hounds make : : attempt to greet mom....there's Bliz.....right @ your side trying : : to get your undivided attention by zapping off the others....he's : : my baby boy. I paid big $$'s to have all 3 of mine trained and : : let me tell you, dog training is really tough! Getting my part : : done was quite the task. By the end, I pretty much quit the : : training and came to the conclusion that my mini's will be mini's : : and that's all there was to it..barking or not. Every schnauzer : : is different, no two alike. We love em all.....so, by now since : : it has been 4 months down the road since your message, did u find : : out what was wrong with your doggie if anything @ all? Please : : let me know how things are going..take care...Kathi
