What are the three AKC recognized standard colors for the Miniature Schnauzer in the United States?
Answer
Black, Black and Silver, and Salt and Pepper
The American Kennel Club (AKC) officially recognizes three primary colors for Miniature Schnauzers presented in conformation showing within the United States. These established standard colors are Solid Black, Black and Silver, and the traditional Salt and Pepper pattern. Other shades exist, such as Liver and Tan or Cream (Wheaton), but they fall outside of this core trio recognized for standard conformation competition in the US, relegating them to non-standard or rare categories for showing purposes.
