Some of the early breeders of Miniature Schnauzers thought the white puppies were albino because when they are first born, they have pink skin and noses. Many early breeders destroyed them at birth mistakenly thinking they were albino and therefore defective.Those who did not destroy them found that within a few hours or days their skin pigment turned to black on their noses, around the mouth and eyes and the pads of their feet and bellies.Through rumors circulated that the white minis carried defective or lethal genes similar to the blue merle dogs or white boxers and that the white Miniature Schnauzers have medical problems and deafness, the white minis apparently have no different health problems than their colored counterparts. Another rumor has spread throughout North America suggests that the White Miniature Schnauzers were fraudulently bred from West Highland White Terriers to get the white coat color.
Compounding the controversy, there is no known factual data to back up the assertion, that gelb equals 'white'. The originators of the breed in the late 1800 and early 1900s in Germany wanted an exact duplicate of the Standard Schnauzer. The Standard Schnauzer has never appeared in the white or even the gelb color variety. The original Schnauzer Club in Germany disqualified whites and told breeders of Parti colors and solid whites to not continue to produce those colors as they went against the ideal breed standard.

Controversy today
Today, the American Miniature Schnauzer Club and the American Kennel Club standard describes the White Miniature Schnauzers as a disqualification from conformation shows. The American Miniature Schnauzer Club and AKC maintain the colors from original breed standards. Breeders of the white variant claim that these dogs have no known congenital or lethal white gene theories. They are not albino dogs, and white dogs described as Miniature Schnauzers are affectionate and robust dogs who exhibit all the qualities of their colored counterparts.

kalo liat ini si ong pasti semangat buat ikut show!!
cia yooo ong!!!

The Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) now acknowledges white in the breed standards set forth by the countries of breed origins. The White Miniature Schnauzer may compete in other AKC sanctioned events such as agility, Canine Good Citizen, Obedience, or Earthdog trials, but not in conformation competition. The White Miniature Schnauzer may be shown in Conformations shows sanctioned by the FCI in international competitions, and the white variant is becoming very popular in Europe as a show dog.The White Miniature Schnauzer Initiative was established in 2006 in Germany for friends and breeders of the White Miniature Schnauzers worldwide to promote interest and provide an informative network for sharing ideas and information and to give breeders the opportunity to exchange and expand the gene pool of the white Miniature Schnauzers worldwide.
