The King Schnauzer is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the
Miniature Schnauzer. The best way to
determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross
and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in
either breed. This hybrid cross is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid
Club. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs
being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to
breed multi-generation crosses.
"This is Daisy our lovely little pup at 8
months old. She is a
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel crossed with a Miniature Schnauzer. I'm amazed
there aren't more of these mixes around - she has an absolutely lovely nature.
She is very friendly and affectionate and always loves to snuggle up by or on
you. She loves people, all other dogs and even cats - especially our cat Alfie.
Alfie has even grown to love her too. She loves the park and her very favourite
thing in the world is chasing a ball."

"Sandi, the King Schnauzer at nearly 5
months old. She is a Mini Schnauzer and Cavalier King Charles mix. I am very
surprised at how great of a dog she is. She is very intelligent and has a
personality that's just too hard to ignore. She likes to be around people. At
times, she will cuddle up on a lap or just plop down next to someone to take a
nap. She follows me around the house when I am doing chores and always has a
curious mind -- she will sniff and inspect everything I touch or do! She is a
quiet dog and hardly barks, however, she can be over-protective of her owners
when outside. She loves to play fetch and enjoys actively interacting with
people."
