Third, illness and debility affect dogs of all ages.
Bella is right, miniature schnauzers may live until their teens. According to the Kennel club, the average lifespan for a Miniature Schnauzer is 10 to 15 years of age.Generally the larger the dog, the shorter the lofespan, so Standard and giant Schnauzers would typically live slightly less long.e have two mini schnauzer's one is 15 and the other one is 13. Our 15 year old sleeps a lot and looks disoriented at times and I believe she is deaf and partially blind. Our 13 year old has started slowing down a lot and I believe she had a heat stroke and since then has really moved very slow.
