By Georgia Diaz


You will probably find numerous Giant Schnauzer breeders in your area. The breed was created in the seventeenth century in Germany. It still isn't clear which breeds were used, but they most certainly include Standard Schnauzers, Rottweiler, Boxer and Great Danes. The point was to create good, reliable working dog with dense, curly, weather and pest bites resistant fur.

Giant Schnauzers can be solid black or salt and pepper. The expression salt and pepper describes the mixture of black, white and gray fur. Schnauzers can be Giant, Miniature or Standard, but they all have similar characteristics. This particular breed is 25,5 inch tall. Females should be between 23.5 and 25,5 inches. As you can see, they are giant only compared to standard and miniature variations.

Like all other Schnauzers, Giants also have distinctive eyebrows and beards. Their incredibly dense and curly hair is difficult to maintain, and you need to get it clipped regularly, even if you are not interesting in dog shows. If you are, you will have to strip your dog's hair regularly, and to crop his ears.

Bred as a work dog for generations, this dog is quiet and obedient, very loyal and especially devoted to its owner. He can become very good guard dog or police dog, but, properly educated, also a perfect family dog. If you are an active person, and live in a house, you should consider buying this lovely dog.

Some diseases are quite common when it comes to this particular breed. For example, hip and elbow dysplasia. They can also have problems with their eyes, and this includes cataract, glaucoma and some other diseases. Their skin is very sensitive, and it is important to use very mild shampoos only, because they are quite prone to skin allergies. They can also get diabetes or have different heart problems.

Although very strong, temperamental and active, sometimes even quite territorial, this dog is really very quiet and gentle. He will play with your children, but also protect them in case they get in some dangerous situation. He is extremely loyal and devoted to his owners, but he needs to be treated properly.

These animals are extremely active. Strong and muscular bodies require plenty of exercise, and the best you can do is to take them for a long walk every single day. It will be good for both of you. This dog cannot be simply left alone in the apartment, and if you cannot provide enough training for him, maybe you should choose another breed.

Giant Schnauzers are dominant dogs, and you need to be very firm when training them. Dogs need to live in a pack, and to know who is the leader. You have to be your pet's leader, and make it perfectly clear. Gentle consistency is the best method for transforming your lovely new puppy into a perfect family dog.
