Germany. So they actively brought its specimen to their homes and contributed to promotion of the Zwergschnauzer in other countries. Moreover an on-going growth in urban population across Europe stipulated the increased demand for toy breeds.

The first members of the Zwergschnauzer were imported to America in 1924. The American Kennel Club (AKC) granted its official acceptance to the breed in 1926. The United Kennel Club (UKC) recognised it only in 1948.

Over the time the Zwergschnauzer acquired a huge international following and currently it’s on the list of the most recognisable breeds of canines in the whole world. The dog preserves much of the working drive of its forebears so lots of its members still serve as skilful ratters and mousers. Naturally in most cases its role is reducedCalcification in the renal medulla; a classification based on a prospective study of 2261 necropsies.
Kidneys from 1864 necropsies performed in Brisbane, Australia, and from 397 necropsies performed in Christchurch, New Zealand, were examined macroscopically and microscopically. Three zonal and three focal patterns of renal medullary calcification were defined: (1) Outer medullary cortical calcification seen in hypercalcemic conditions. (2) A band of calcification at the boundary of the inner and outer medullar associated with degenerative changes and correlated with aging and arteriolar disease. (3) Calcification concentrated around the loops of Henle in the papilla, sometimes a striking finding in children and common at all ages. Heavy calcification in this region was injurious to the loops. (4) Fine focal calcification in random distribution throughout the medulla. This lesion was seen
