Hi there yes Gracie is Black & silver & a little live wire. Really into chewing now so will have to get her some stronger chewy toys

This was after I told her off for doing a tinkle on carpet - the look that says "It wasn't me mom"

OMG she is so adorable!!!!

Just a quick word of advice, be careful about giving her too much flak for pottying indoors. Not saying you said it sternly and I'm thinking you didn't, but oftentimes when you give punishment for pottying indoors they will look for a place to do it out of your sight.

A better option is to calmly pick them up mid sprinkle (ideally BEFORE they start) and carry them outdoors. Big praise for pottying outdoors!

I take my little pups out every 45 minutes and after each meal, each nap, each play session. Watch for any signs she has to potty such as circling or scratching or even veering off.

I apologize if you didn't need this advice, just throwing it out there.

I'll say it again, she is absolutely the cutest!

Btw that's my S&P girl in my avatar, my pup Ozzy is black and silver like your little girl.

Hi Schnauzerluv ( Kat ?) - thanx for the advice. No not too harsh just mild telling off :-) I've read that it can have the opposite effect. Yes give loads of praise ( & treats) when she does stuff outside & taking her out like you every 45mins - hour. Not yet picking up any indication that she's going to wee but still learning ( Gracie & us too !!)
Lovely mom & bet your pups are too. More than happy to have any advice so please feel free to share, really appreciated.

Ok good I'm glad I didn't overstep. I just get so excited to see schnauzer puppies!!! We are thinking about a second pup now, so I got a bit of puppy brain.

My avatar is my late Chelsea girl. She was almost 15YO. Ozzy is our newest pup (black and silver).

Bless. Only had Gracie a week & she's already stolen our hearts so can understand wanting a pup. The breeder we had ours from did have 2 boys left if you were interested :-)

Oh how sweet! I am in Canada, so that wouldn't work, but thank you very much. Luckily I have spoken to my current pup's breeder and she wants us to have another of her pups! So we are set and in no hurry. Like I said, I just love to see little schnauzer pups and Gracie is so cute! I keep imagining them grow up and the relationship you build with them. It's so special 😊

I just love her and thank you for more pics! Yes, I got my pup used to coats and boots at an early age too. They grow so fast though! Very cute jacket.
