OUR DOGS CARRY FOR THESE COLORS

ALL AKC puppies are eligible for registration with AKC. Only the Standard colors Salt and Pepper, Black and Silver and Black can be shown in competition but Miniature Schnauzers come in many other colors:

Liver or Chocolate

What is the Difference between Liver and Chocolate?

They are the same. The word "Liver" just means Chocolate.

So a "Liver schnauzer" and a "Chocolate Schnauzer" are the same. Puppies have to be registered Liver. Liver Schnauzers are basically a brown version of a Black Schnauzer. They are born with solid brown bodies. Some have white on their chin, chest and on their toes. They have brown OR green eyes, chocolate pads and nose.
