Shiloh Nevada Last updated: 18th October 2022The Mauzer is a small-sized dog that has been crossed between the Maltese and the Miniature Schnauzer. These floppy-eared, long-haired dogs are known for their cute looks and funny disposition. It’s fairly easy to bring up a Mauzer, though it’s hard to find one. The roundish shape of the mauzer’s head, set atop a stout neck, is very similar to their Schnauzer parents. They have round eyes, black to brown nose, and a long muzzle. These friendly dogs make great pets for apartment dwellers.

Temperament and Behavior
The mauzers are affectionate dogs that are both fond of their owners as also children. Though, they bond with one person and love to be spoiled, begging for his/her love and attention. Given a chance, they would even move around all day with its loved one.
They love to have fun, and are bubbly and jolly, although, might be nippy and bold at the same time. Though otherwise quiet, they tend to yap when they feel challenged, hear/see anything strange, see a stranger around, or hear the barks of other dogs.
They are comfortable with all kinds of weather, provided they get enough shade and water during summer, a blanket and a dog house in winter. They are usually comfortable with all other pets in its family, especially if they are brought up together. They are loyal to their family members, and are always on the move guarding their families. This makes them a good guard and watchdog as well.
Care
Exercise
Provide your mauzer with lots of opportunities for playing and untie its leash indoors. The little dog will stay engaged and play around all day on its own, and thus, would get as much exercise it needs. Since it is basically a little dog, it does not need any vigorous exercise or activities. Take your dog out for short walks and jogs once every day to keep it mentally and physically fit. This should also ward off the possibilities of any possible behavioral issues in future.
Grooming
The low-shedding mauzer needs at least one brushing per week. This is especially recommended so as to keep its coat from tangling and getting dirty. Also, take care of its teeth and brush it at least once every week, since they might easily turn yellow because of plaque deposition.
Also, whenever you use shampoo to bathe your pet, use a good-quality dog shampoo, keeping in mind the itchy, dry nature of your dog’s sensitive skin. When it’s time to trim your dog’s hair, consult a professional if you think you are not really skilled for the job. This is to retain the overall cute looks of your pet.
Health Problems
Mauzers have strong bones and a hardy structure, and are healthy in general. Like most other crosses, the mauzer would seldom develop health issues. But the issues are not breed-specific. They are the general dog diseases that any other dog might develop, or at the most, inherited from their parents. The long-eared dog is prone to develop ear infections, if they are not cleaned in time. They might also be allergic to fleas, ticks, etc.
Training
Start training your baby mauzer when you brought it home from the breeders. Teach them how to mingle with other pets and children, and help them socialize with your friends and relatives. They are intelligent dogs, and wouldn’t take long to pick up tricks and training, especially if you use sober techniques. Praise them or give them treats with every success, and your dog would be more than happy to use more effort to learn, just to see you impressed. Use the same technique while giving them potty and obedience training.
Diet/Feeding
Mauzers get bored very easily with same old routine diets, but at the same time, might fall sick easily, if their diet is irregular. So keep an eye on what and when it eats. You can try your own dog recipes, or provide them with tasty dog foods that are equally nutritious as also fit for dogs of similar sizes and energy levels.
Interesting Facts
- When they are getting angry, the Mauzers tend to sneeze.
