Group :Pinscher and Schnauzer Section : Pinscher and Schnauzer type
The Giant Schnauzer is a massive, incredibly powerful, and highly intelligent working dog. Developed in Germany by crossing standard Schnauzers with larger breeds like the Great Dane, they possess a harsh, wiry black coat, a commanding presence, and were bred to drive cattle and guard breweries.
The Giant Schnauzer is a deeply loyal, fiercely protective family guardian. They are highly dominant and require an incredibly firm, experienced owner. They possess boundless energy and absolutely require vigorous daily exercise and advanced obedience training. Their harsh double coat does not shed much but requires regular professional hand-stripping.
