I started the Wulfgar prefix with Irish wolfhounds in 1980. My second breed was Scottish Deerhounds under the Weirskints prefix from 1996. The Giant Schnauzers have been bred under the Wulfgar prefix since 1999. Our family has always had pets and my mother in Finland had the Reimin prefix achieving International champion status in both conformation and obedience with her Hovawart's and Australian Terriers. All her Australian terriers were imported from Tahee kennels in Sydney . The first imported male was the International Champion Tahee Annalee's Vekku. My mother was awarded the “Vuolasvirta” Prize by the Finnish Kennel club for her achievements as a breeder and exhibitor. The Wulfgar and Weirskints dogs have gained multiple Best in Show, Runner up in Show, Multiple Group and in Show awards. Our Giant Schnauzers and Irish Wolfhounds are also Multi Specialty Best in Show winners. Our Schnauzer Grand champion Wulfgar Phoebe "Tasha" is the first female Giant Schnauzer to have achieved this award in the breeds history in Australia . Our dogs have been exported to Europe, Hawaii, USA, New Zealand , South Africa and Japan. We have semen in storage from our proven Grand Champions and champions. Giant Schnauzers are an alert, reliable and intelligent breed that are ideal with other dogs and children. The Giant Schnauzer has medium to high maintenance requirements for excercise and grooming as the coat does require stripping for the show dog - pets can be clipped. Giant Schnauzers require a good deal of social and mental stimulation. Wulfgar Giant Schnauzers are committed to breeding Schnauzers with outstanding temprements that excel in the Show Ring, at obedience trials and as family pets. Our Schnauzers have a proven record in all fields of endeavour for this magnificent breed of dog. For more information go to our website: http://www.dogs.net.au/wulfgargiants/default.asp
