boxbeatle asked: I would never let any dog roam, but it would be nice to be able to play with a dog off leash in our yard. We currently have a wonderful Siberian Husky, we love her very much, but Siberians are one breed that absolutely can not be trusted off leash. I have read that most terriors cannot (like the Westie). Any additional Miniature Schnauzer information would be helpful. I have done some research and I cannot find anyone that says it can’t be trusted.
Ok… I should clarify. I know dogs well, I have taken 3 dogs through obidience. I knew ahead of time about the Husky (I had one prior) ALL experts, even AKC will report that the Husky can NEVER be trusted off leash. That said the Mini Schnauzer is not a terrier either, that is why I am looking at it for a pet. I have considered a Westie also, just know that terriers are notorious for chasing, therfore can’t be totally trusted. I will train our new puppy, I just want a different, less likely to run off dog that can be trusted to stay close once trained.
