A Giant Schnauzer is happiest with an owner who loves the outdoors. Although Giant Schnauzers like kids, they often have too much energy for young children. They're sometimes aggressive with other dogs, and they're usually reserved with strangers. Some bloodlines are calmer than others. Giant Schnauzers are working dogs. In general, working dogs pull sleds and carts, guard homes, and serve in the military. Because these dogs are intelligent and capable of learning almost anything, they make excellent companions. Their very size can make them difficult to control, so they must be trained by a competent professional. Most working dogs are pack dogs, so they're often aggressive with strange dogs and other pets. Origin: Germany Height: Males: 25.5" - 27.5"; Females: 23.5" - 25.5" Weight: 70 - 95 pounds Coat: Rough with bushy eyebrows and a beard. Tail is docked; ears are usually cropped. Colors: Solid black is most common. A white spot is allowed on the chest. Less common is pepper and salt. Eyes are dark brown; nose is black. Special Consideration: Because Giant Schnauzers are so large and independent, professional obedience training is recommended. Never hit a Giant Schnauzer or it may bite. |
