Hi and welcome to the boards. I'm not sure about mini schnauzers but I do know that many pups of many breeds change. My Shih Tzu was all black and white when she was a young pup but has a some gray mixed in now that she's older. You might want to get a good book on schnauzers and see what is said about color changes and pick up some pointers on other matters as they come up as well.

I am not sure either, but I know poodles also can change fairly drastically over time.

Jack had some tan on him as a tiny puppy, believe it or not. It all went away as his adult coat came in.

It's hard to see in the pics, but the ears in his 7 week pic show it a little bit.
