Miniature Schnauzer age in human years

Miniature Schnauzer portrait

Miniature Schnauzers are small dogs, and size sets the clock. The first year counts for 15 human years and the second adds 9, which puts a two-year-old at 24. After that each year adds about 4.5. A five-year-old is around 38, and most enter their senior years around 10 or 11. Most live somewhere in the 10 to 16 range.
