Konrad Niedźwiedzki and his mini Schnauzer called Macho share a long-time friendship. In Konrad's family Macho is the one that always makes people laugh and bring smiles on everyone's faces. 

Schauzer Macho - the old and joyful friend

We asked Konrad Niedźwiedzki to say a few words about Macho’s personality and the next second we saw a big smile on his face! It is a miracle that he had the energy to do it, because he had only just come back from the USA where he had been training for a month. He arrived the previous night, jetlagged, had trouble sleeping that night, but he still found the strength to spend a few hours with us and Macho, showing us his hometown, Zakopane, one of Poland’s top skiing resorts in the Tatra mountains. Plus, he went back to training after we left. However, the joy of meeting his old friend Macho was greater than anything else!

Few things you should know about the Schnauzer

Is Macho a clever dog? Let’s read some facts about his breed, the Schnauzer. There are 3 Schnauzer breeds available: miniature, standard and giant. There must be a reason why they come in so many shapes!

Miniature Schnauzers are highly trainable, independent thinkers, tough, and are considered one of the most intelligent dog breeds. Miniature Schnauzers are considered hypoallergenic, so they are safe for people with allergies to be around. No sneezing there! 

They are normally very observant, intelligent and sooooo cute! They have exceptionally long moustaches which gives them a unique sassy look. (Fine! This is more about the looks, but have you seen Macho’s face?)

What is Macho’s favourite food?

When it comes to food, Macho has very… French cravings. You would not expect that from a German breed, would you?
