5. 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.

6.  White Schnouzers have more recently
been granted admission to many show
rings in some countries, but white still
remains a disqualification in the USA.

7.  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!

8.  •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.

12.  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

13.  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.)

14.  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.

15. Thank you for
your attention!!!
