Could a miniature schnauzer kill a hedgehog?

There is a wild hedgehog in my garden, and we have a miniature schnauzer. I’m worried that the dog might kill the hedgehog. Should i move the hog?

Miniature Schnauzers were developed as fearsome little guard dogs and vermin control so it could easily kill a hedgehog and would probably do so gleefully at the first opportunity. Relocating the hedgehog or strictly supervising the dog (and doing a “hedgehog check” before letting them out) is the best bet to avoid a dead hedgehog. I would also recommending training the Schnauzer in very solid recall and “leave it” commands in case it ever begins to chase or worry something it shouldn’t.
