Schnauzer on the Hunt!

[tomkalina]

Our black schnauzer Cruise intent on finding the rabbit that's been hiding in the garden. His name is actually Ch. Myla's Mission Impossible, but we call him Cruise for short. Not sure what he would do with a rabbit if he ever caught one......

super cute!
a giant schnauzer?

 

[tomkalina]

He's a miniature schnauzer, but acts like a giant schnauzer when he sees other dogs......

 

[abax]

I wish I could see more of him. He appears to be
a fine example of the breed. Our four dogs seem
to be partial to skunks...oh my.

We used to have a Border Collie that hunted rabbits. One day he brought me one, and was so proud of himself. When I tried to take it from him, he swallowed it whole.

Similar experience with our old miniature schnauzer Bentley who passed several years ago, but instead of eating the rabbit, he gentle dropped it at my wife's feet, who totally freaked.

Here's a photo of Cruise in our back yard taken three years ago. His registered name is Ch. Myla's Mission Impossible (ergo the nick-name "Cruise") and we are fostering him for one of the premier schnauzer breeders in the U.S.

He's just beautiful and he stacks nicely.
I'm permanently fostering two Tzu for a
show breeder in Chicago. Also a Cavalier
King Charles Spaniel and a PBGV. Also stray
cat who came to live with us. Ain't life grand??

 

[tomkalina]

I’m sure the cat rules the roost.

 

[abax]

Cat rules my husband. Dogs rule me. Really a
delightful madhouse.

....and here he is after last night's snow storm.

 

[abax]

A snow storm???!!! Perhaps getting our first frost
tonight and I ain't lookin' forward to it. Pup seems
rather happy.

 

[tomkalina]

He should be happy, as spoiled as he is. We had a next-door neighbor who once said if he was re-incarnated he'd like to come back as one of our dogs.....

Here's an earlier photo of the Cruiser taken in July. There's a lot of character in that face.....

 

[tomkalina]

Thought I'd update the Cruise saga. Here's a photo of his three daughters taken late last year. It was his first stud assignment, so very proud.

 

[tomkalina]

Cruise is thus far unsuccessful in catching that rabbit. Here he is trying his hand (paw) at camouflage. Hope springs eternal.

 

[abax]

The trouble with this breed is that the face is very hard to read unless one is up close and personal. Usually they have
exceptional body language that tells the tale. I'd love to play with him...lots of fun stuff.

His pups are gorgeous. Great studding!

Gorgeous schnauzer. They do have a lot of personality.
