The Pet Tag



1. What's your pets name?
Oscar 


2. What breed are they?
Miniature Schnauzer.

3. How old are they?
Nearly 4 months old.


4. Where did you get them?
Private Breeder.

5. Why did you want to get this particular breed/species?
I am allergic to dogs, however schnauzers, along with Poodles and some other breeds, are like the ''hypoallergenic'' pillows of the dog world. So I am not affected by them, no sneezing, itching, swelling, albeit there is still some irritation, but that is more to do with Oscar being stubborn and sometimes ignoring clear instructions. 

6. Do they know any tricks?
Sit, Lie, Leave, and Fetch at the moment.

7. Do they Snuggle/Give Kisses/ Follow you around?
Yes, when he is tired/ yes when excited to see you/ and yes, he will cry if I leave to room without allowing him the opportunity to follow me, it's cute but can get tiresome.


8. What are some of the funny things they do to make you laugh
When he chases his tail he doesn't really chase it, he catches it straight off, but continues to run round in circles despite already having it in his mouth.... whatever floats his boat. 
My Mum's room is like Narnia to Oscar, when he gets a chance to run in there he grabs whatever he can off the floor and runs out of the room full speed, but then stops on the landing, satisfied with his achievement of naughtiness and just looks back at us, with the before mentioned object in his mouth.  


9) What does your relationship with your pet mean to you?
A lot. I have been asking for a dog for as long as I can remember, but due to my allergies I was not allowed. When I found out about Schnauzer and confirmed I wasn't effected by them I went in search. He was one in a litter of 9, after slimming them down to 2 I chose Oscar as he kept kissing my nose. It is weird to think that he will be with me till I am 30+ and all the things he is going to be around for.
