- On average, a Miniature Schnauzer can cost anywhere from $500 to $2,700. AKC/show breeds are going to be closer to the $2,000 range, especially if the parents are descendants from a recent champion. The cost of one will depend on the breeder, the quality, age, the parent’s history and your geographical location.
I have purchased puppies whose parents are descendants from a recent champion and several champion ancestors. I am paying more than $2700 and I have heard of some selling for as much as $10,000.
The Miniature Schnauzer is a breed of small dog of the Schnauzer type that originated in Germany in the mid-to-late 19th century. Miniature Schnauzers developed the miniature.
According to Wikipedia Toy and teacup are not breeds of schnauzer, but these common terms are used to market undersized or ill-bred miniature schnauzers.
