A dog designed by committee to look permanently unimpressed with you.
means A breed of dog, from small to giant, distinguished by a wiry coat and the bushy eyebrows and beard that give it that signature grumpy-wizard face.
from Straightforward German: 'Schnauzer' comes from 'Schnauze,' meaning 'snout' or 'muzzle' — the dog is literally named for its own whiskery face. The breed itself was developed in Germany, originally as a farm and stable dog valued for ratting and guarding, with the name simply describing the furry-mugged look that made it instantly recognizable.
