Schnauzer - pronounced in German [ʃnaʊtsɐ] - is a canine breed that originated in Germany during centuries XV and XVI. Its name derives from the German Schnauze 'snout', related to Schnauzbart and Schnurrbart 'mustache', given his very characteristic beard that begins at the top of the snout in this breed. The schnauzers were bred to chase and hunt.

The schnauzer comes from Württemberg, Germany, and its ancient origin dates back to medieval dogs such as the beaver dog and some local shepherd dogs. Originally the small schnauzer was used in southern Germany as a stable dog, and it was the zeal with which he hunted rats and mice which earned him the nickname rattler.

At the origins of the breed, the schnauzer and the Pinscher were basically classified as the same breed type. They only differed by the structure of the hair. Later the standard was set apart from the schnauzer type, so the hard-haired animal, first known as rauhhaariger Pinscher, is now known as the Schnauzer. When the Pinscher-Schnauzer-Klub was founded in Germany in 1895, Initially inscribed under the name of "Pinscher of rough hair", also because his hair is rough, hard and dense in the outer layer and medium hardness in the legs, beard and eyebrows (bushy).
