Miniture Schnauzer - Can anyone help please?

My hairdresser has a miniature Schnauzer. They don't have children but I believe she's quite well behaved with visiting children.

They shed very little but do need hand stripping at a groomers every 8 weeks or so . They can be barkers . They are very energetic ...VERY

My personal recommendation would be for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I have one currently and I have 4 grandchildren aged from 2-10 . He's rock solid with them but we went to training with him from 12 weeks. More importantly, we trained the children .

They know to use kind hands with Sammy . Sammy was trained from 12 weeks to realise a) he's not the boss and his food is not to be protected . I'm pro dog but not stupid, Sammy is never left alone with the children. Cavs are soft mouthed and smart ( Sam has quite a repertoire of tricks) , don't need huge amounts of exercise but do need lots of human contact.

They're a great size too. Not too small. But easy to pick up.

I believe kids and dogs go together - so good luck whatever choice you make .

We have had 2 miniature schnauzer and if we were to have another dog would chose one again. We have grandchildren and cats and had no problem and they don't shed. As they don't shed they need clipping which can become expensive. I'd recommend them totally.
