About Dustin & family
I am, of course, always the center of attention, both with my humans and with other dogs and animals. As most Miniature Schnauzers, I am smart, beautiful, playful, a bit dominant (if anyone lets me), great with kids and eager to learn new tricks and manners.
I spend most of my day playing with my human kids and with our cats. Yes we have 4 !!!! cats in our house.
When I first moved in as a puppy, they all bullied me, but now, when I
am full grown (34,3 cm or 13.5 inches), I have shown them all, who the
Boss is. As long as they realize that I am the leader, I love to play with
them.
My only problem is when they gang up on me. My other favorite things to
do is eating and sleeping.
I am ALWAYS with my family. If they go camping, shopping, driving, fishing,
sailing, golfing or whatever, I am always part of the pack. I suspect that
they cannot live without me ;-). In order to make them all feel loved I
have made the sacrifice to sleep in their bed and of course take turn with
all of them.
My humans are Danish, but live in Blekinge, Sweden. We live in a hundred year old big house at the beautiful Archipelago
near Karlskrona. I have a big fenced (to keep other dogs and cats out I
guess) garden, where I am King. I even have my own stream through the garden,
so I kind of got my own swimming pool and wet bar (I just wish I could
catch one of those fish one day. We only have one neighbor (who of course
have fallen for my charm as well), so when I fell like barking at the cats,
no one mind too much. Actually, me, my human dad and the kids have decided
that we easily have room for at least 4 Miniature Schnauzers, but we are
still working on the mother of the house. I think it would only be fair
to even the odds a little against the cats.
I have
started my show career (pretty good if I have to say it myself) and I have also
taken my human mother to obedience training, so she can learn how to do the
things I want. She is doing quite well. As my coat needs professional attention
for the shows, she has also started to take lessons in professional grooming.
The whole
family have taken a great interest in following me to dog shows, so we even
bought a caravan, so now we are ready to travel all over Europe to Shows.
