The Best Giant Schnauzer Breeders

By Georgia Diaz


Most Giant Schnauzer breeders also keep Standard and Miniature Schnauzers as well. This particular variation was designed in Germany, back there in the seventeenth century. In effort to design reliable working dog with strong, muscular body and dense, warm and resistant coat, they made several cross breeds. Some of breeds used are German Sheppard, Great Danes, Rottweiler, Boxers and, of course, Standard Schnauzers.

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.

This lovely dog has distinctive beard and eyebrows. Its water resistant fur is curly and especially dense and wiry. Show dogs usually have cropped ears. This breed requires regular grooming. The coat needs to be clipped, and in case of a show dog, regularly stripped, approximately once in two weeks.

This dog is strong and muscular, but also very intelligent and trainable. Quiet, but quite territorial, always prepared to protect his owners. Can get very suspicious to other people, or animals. Full of incredible energy, this dog should have equally active owner.

Sometimes these dogs can have different health problems, particularly with their eyes, hearts, hips and elbows. Their skin is sensitive to chemicals, and stronger shampoo, for example, may cause an allergic reaction. Older animals may get cataract or glaucoma, and if too fat, they could get diabetes.

This active dog has sound and reliable temperament. Energetic and territorial, he really is loyal and has a great need to protect his owners. On the other hand, he is very gentle and responsible with children, and can make just perfect family dog if you treat him on the right way.

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, just like all other dogs, need a strong, but gentle hand. Their nature is to be dominant, but you need to become a leader of the pack, to earn your dog's respect and obedience. The best method for achieving it is gentle consistency. When he obeys, reward him, but when he does something wrong, let him know you are disappointed, but never punish him.

Experienced Giant Schnauzer breeders will give you all important details about feeding, grooming and training your new family member. Having a dog is a wonderful thing, but also a great responsibility. You have to understand your pet's needs and take a really good care of him. This wonderful animal is certainly worth every effort.
