<\/span><\/h2>\nDue to their rarity and growing popularity, many wonder if these specimens are considered a different type of schnauzer<\/strong><\/em> dog than the usual miniatures. The answer is no.<\/p>\nWhite schnauzers are due to the presence of a double recessive gene. They are not albinos, nor are they the result of crossbreeding between schnauzers and westies. This mutation is considered almost unique to miniature schnauzers, as there are virtually no white giants or standards.<\/p>\n
There are different types of white, for example:<\/p>\n
\n- A colorless specimen is a dog with pure white fur. These are born with a pink nose, mouth, and pads, but later change to a more natural shade or base.<\/li>\n
- A true white is one with a black nose.<\/li>\n
- Other variations also exist, such as the silvery-white, yellowish-white, and false white, whose fur is a tan color at birth, but lightens over time.<\/li>\n
- The subject of the different colors<\/strong> of schnauzers, and in particular white, is a matter of debate among clubs, breeders, and lovers of the breed. Many breeders claim that white Miniature Schnauzers occur naturally, and therefore should be fully accepted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
They are currently recognized by the International Cynological Federation as one of the four miniature schnauzer colors; however, they are still not accepted by several clubs, who question whether the origin of the white variation is associated with the genes of the breed originally recognized as the schnauzer, or if it was the result of later modifications.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
