Dal-Pei Schnauzer

The Dal-Pei Schnauzer is a medium-to-large, alert hybrid with a sturdy athletic build, a slightly square outline, and a sharp, expressive face that often blends the Dalmatian’s clean lines with the Schnauzer’s eyebrows and beard plus the Shar-Pei/Shiba influence in the ears and tail. They are usually loyal, intelligent, and highly watchful, with a playful streak and enough independence to keep life interesting; with consistent training and plenty of exercise, they make devoted, capable family companions.
