Should schnauzers be clipped?

When should I first groom my mini schnauzer?

Why do Schnauzers need to be groomed?
Miniature Schnauzer Grooming Needs Because of their double coats and inability to shed properly, Miniature Schnauzers require fairly constant grooming. They need their coats clipped or hand stripped, the latter of which can be a very time-consuming process that is usually reserved for show dogs.
