We just learned about the type of dog the Pekingese.
Another type of dog is the Schnauzer.
This type of dog came from Germany, and comes from the word for snout, or mustache.
The schnauzer comes in three sizes, giant, standard and miniature.
They grow long hair that is sometimes shaved to make them look like they have a mustache.
They were originally used to kill rats that carried diseases, and they have also been used as guard dogs, police dogs and message carriers.
