GIANT SCHNAUZER DOG

The typically headstrong and demanding Giant Schnauzer may not be the best choice for first-time dog owners.
The largest of the Schnauzer breeds, the Giant Schnauzer can be a great family pet — but he's best suited for an experienced dog owner. He tends to be smart, stubborn and an independent thinker, and you need to begin training him early. Learn more about the Giant Schnauzer and if he might be the right dog breed for you.

They tend to like having a job to do.
This working dog is usually happiest when he has something to do and is mentally stimulated — think daily training exercises or participation in a dog sport like agility, obedience, rally or tracking.
They generally like to exercise.
The Giant Schnauzer tends to be energetic and athletic. Plan on daily walks and playtime romps in the yard.

They’re often devoted to family.
Generally a loving and loyal family protector, the Giant Schnauzer's natural instinct tends to be to watch over his family — and he's capable of distinguishing between friends and people who mean harm. However, he may be less suited to homes with babies and toddlers — he can be very active and may accidentally knock a small child over.

They can be a bit messy.
The Schnauzer hallmark is a harsh beard and eyebrows… and that adorable facial hair will often drip water after he drinks. You may also need to wipe walls or furniture if he's wet and shakes his head before you can get to a towel.

They have a distinctive look.
The Giant Schnauzer’s signature look doesn’t come naturally. To maintain his distinctive appearance, regular grooming is essential, including brushing, bathing, hair cutting, nail trimming and ear cleaning. Expect to groom him about ever

We invite all Law Enforcement Agencies to investigate the usage of Giants on their K-9 force! This Breeding kennel will give special priority to those agencies.
These dogs excel in Schutzhund/IPO training, Search & Rescue/Cadaver search/Drug Search/Airport Security.
They are extremely fast moving dogs, with the drive to please!

In a family environment they become a part of the family and protect each member with their lives! Easy to train! Basically non-shedding compared to Shepherds and Mals, however they do drop undercoat if not brushed daily.
This is NOT the first time dog owners dog! This is a dog for an experienced dog owner due to their drive and hard headed ways. It takes a strong person to command the respect of a Giant, but once you have it, you are their world! They will do whatever you ask!
