Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Schnauzer" in Malay language version.
There has never been any breed or variety of Schnauzer that was considered a Toy Schnauzer. Anyone representing their dog as a Toy Schnauzer is attempting to breed small Miniature Schnauzers which could lend itself to whelping and other problems due to their small size.
The breed today known as the Standard Schnauzer, one of Europe's supreme all-around farm dogs, has a lineage going back to at least the 15th century... the Miniature Schnauzer resides in the AKC Terrier Group with other diminutive rat-catcher breeds. But the Mini is unique among AKC terriers in that he has no British blood in his veins... Alone among terriers, the Miniature Schnauzer is wholly a product of Continental stock: Standard Schnauzer, Affenpinscher, and Poodle. This explains that though the Mini was born to the traditional work of small terriers, his personality is quite different. Not for him is the dour independence of the Scottish Terrier or the fiery temperament of the Irish Terrier. Rather, he is an overtly friendly dog, spirited but obedient and willing to please.
During the long centuries before mechanized agriculture, the world's farmers strove to breed versatile dogs to use as all-purpose helpers... A creation of the Middle Ages, the breed came of age in the verdant farm country of Bavaria. Like the world's other barn-and-stable breeds, multitasking Schnauzers made their bones as ratters, herders, guardians, and hunters... During the birth of Europe's organized show scene in the 1870s, the 'Wire-haired Pinscher' proved to be a dashing show dog. By the turn of the century, fanciers began exhibiting the breed as the Schnauzer ('whiskered snout').
These rugged working dogs, bred up from the Standard Schnauzer, were used to drive cattle from farm to market. They also served as formidable guard dogs for farmers, merchants, and innkeepers. After railroads rendered cattle drives obsolete, Giants found work as European police and military K-9s.
The Miniature Schnauzer is derived from the Standard Schnauzer and is said to have come from mixing of Affenpinschers and Poodles with small Standards

Using the Standard Schnauzer as a foundation, the cattlemen added Rottweiler, Great Dane, sheepdogs and perhaps Bouvier to the mix and the result was the Giant Schnauzer
It is thought that the miniaturisation was brought about by the infusion of Affenpinscher blood. The Miniature variety was first officially recorded in 1888.
