Brown
Brown, chocolate, liver, or
parti-color schnauzers do not
meet breed standards. These
dogs are not allowed to
compete in the show ring,
even if they are registered
purebreds.
White Schnouzers have more recently
been granted admission to many show
rings in some countries, but white still
remains a disqualification in the USA.
Salt-and-pepper is dominant to black-and-
silver. A salt-and-pepper may carry the
gene for black-and-silver and produce the
colour when mated to another carrier.
There is a marker trait that often identifies
theses carriers - a small spot of white
directly above the nose!
•Black and Silver - The markings of a
black and silver Miniature Schnauzer
follow the same pattern as the salt &
pepper Schnauzer, except both the
topcoat and undercoat are solid black.
Beautiful silver white color accents areas
of face (beard and eyebrows) and on
legs, feet, and furnishings.
Today its more simple to find out the
genotype by DNA tests.
In salt & pepper there is a wide possible
combination of allels :
aw,aw
E,E
K,Kaw,at
E,e
Not all proposed alleles have been
proven to exist. The generally recognized
color loci in dogs are referred to as:
A (agouti), B (brown), C (albino series), D
(blue dilution) E (extension), G (graying),
M (merle), R (roaning), S (white spotting)
and T (ticking.)
The inheritance of coat color in minature
shnauzers in general, is very complicated
because there are many allels involved.
My recommendation is to do a DNA test to
the mother and the father so they have
identical genotype and their off spring will be
only salt and pepper.
Thank you for
your attention!!!
