Miniature Schnauzers should be groomed every five to eight weeks to look their best. This is something most people choose to let a professional do, but some choose to learn to do it themselves (see the AMSC's pet grooming section). The equipment needed - clippers and scissors - will pay for itself after just a few groomings. The beard and leg furnishings should be brushed weekly and may be bathed as often. Most people choose to machine clipper pets as this is the most convenient way to keep them looking sharp. The breed has a double-coat; wiry topcoat and soft undercoat. To achieve this look the dog needs to be plucked or hand stripped. A usual pattern can be found in the amsc award winning grooming chart - see the online AMSC publications page. Most pet groomers are not knowledgeable of the stripping process or, if knowledgeable, might be reluctant to take the time to properly complete the task.
