A Watercolour Animal Painting of a Miniature Schnauzer 

Dog. The Schnauzer breed was first registered in Germany 

and the name translates  from the German word for moustache 

which refers to the breed's distinctive facial hair.

Originally used as ratters, today they are used as companion 

dogs. The ideal Miniature Schnauzer Dog is 35cm high and 

weighs 8kg.
