Give up on the quiz? The correct answer is the Miniature Schnauzer. Don’t be confused by the names Australian or American in the breed names. The Miniature Schnauzer is of German origin.

“I need a dog pretty badly. I dreamed of dogs last night. They sat in a circle and looked at me and I wanted all of them.”
