Which dog breed is right for you?
The Miniature Schnauzer was developed in Germany in the late 19th century by crossing Standard Schnauzers with smaller breeds like the Affenpinscher and Poodle. These sturdy little dogs stand 12 to 14 inches tall and weigh 11 to 20 pounds, carrying a distinctive wiry double coat in salt and pepper, black and silver, solid black, or white. Their trademark bushy eyebrows, full beard, and cropped or natural ears give them an unmistakably distinguished appearance.
Miniature Schnauzers are spirited, friendly, and remarkably obedient — consistently ranking among the most popular terrier breeds in America. They bond closely with their families, are typically wonderful with children, and get along well with other household pets. Unlike many terrier breeds, they tend to be less aggressive toward other dogs, making them excellent all-around family companions.

The Treeing Walker Coonhound was developed in the United States from Walker Foxhounds in the mid-20th century, selectively bred for their exceptional ability to trail game and "tree" raccoons by chasing them up a tree and baying until the hunter arrives. These elegant, athletic hounds stand 20 to 27 inches tall and weigh 50 to 70 pounds, with a lean, muscular build and the classic tricolor pattern — white, black, and tan — reminiscent of their foxhound ancestry. Their short, smooth coat is dense and protective, well-suited for long hours working through brush and rough terrain.
Treeing Walker Coonhounds are confident, intelligent, and affable — possessing a friendly, sociable nature that makes them enjoyable companions both in the field and at home. They are gentle with children, typically welcoming to strangers, and usually get along well with other dogs, especially those they've been raised with. Their hunting instincts run deep, however, and they can switch from couch potato to tireless tracker the moment an interesting scent crosses their path.
