The Black Standard
Schnauzer |
||
|
There are two colour varieties allowed in the Standard
Schnauzer, Pepper & Salt and the Black. Pepper and Salt can
range from a light silver to a dark charcoal. The black should be of
solid, clear coloration with no fading to grey. Some reddening from
sun exposure may occasionally be seen. In North America the two
colours are exhibited and judged together and the two colours may be bred
together. In most of Europe they are shown independently and
breeding of the two colours is not encouraged, in many countries not
allowed. They are becoming not only two distinct colours but breeds.
I have only recently become involved in Blacks, currently I have three black females, Juno, my star agility and Frisbee dog, my newest pup Hexe a Juno daughter, and I co-own a pretty little black female called Hilde. Although some breeders say the personalities are different between the blacks and the pepper & salt, I think for the most part they are the same, considering the two colours are freely interbred in North America it would be hard to understand why there would be any differences.
Dinsdale is currently hoping to produce one litter a year of black pups. In 2006 we imported Monty a lovely black male from the Czech Republic who we hope will produce some great pups for us and improve on the mostly North American lines that have been available to us. ›Click to Return to Our [Home Page]
