What are Liver and Tan Schnauzers?
First off, for those that don’t know, the word “liver’ and the word “chocolate” are the exact same thing. So yes, liver means chocolate or vis versa. Liver and tan schnauzers  have solid brown / chocolate bodies with cream / tan marking that will turn into a light cream / tan or even white as an adult. These cream / tan or white markings are on the: eyebrows, muzzle, inside the ears, across the chest, feet and underneath the tail. Liver and tan schnauzers are basically a “chocolate version” of a black and silver schnauzer. They will vary in shades which means some will be a darker chocolate color then others so they will not all look exactly the same as adults. Liver and tan schnauzers will have brown or green eyes. Chocolate nose and chocolate pads. It can be common for them to get white hairs that grow up next to their chocolate hairs which create a lighter colored looking chocolate. 

What Do You Mean They Can Have White Hairs?
Sometimes liver and tan schnauzers can get white hairs that grow up next to the chocolate hairs. This can happen when they are puppies but it is more common for it to start showing up when they are an adult. It is impossible for the breeder to know which puppies will do this unless the puppy is already starting to have the white hairs at the breeders.  Liver and tan schnauzers that end up having the white hairs intermixed with their chocolate hairs will always end up a lighter shade of chocolate as adults then the liver and tans that don’t get them. Neither one is better or prettier. Both are popular as it’s completely a cosmetic appeal and personal preference as to which you prefer.
