 The Giant Schnauzer is a large, powerful, compact dog with bushy eyebrows, whiskers and a beard. It looks like a larger image of the Standard Schnauzer.
It has a harsh, wiry outer coat and dense, soft undercoat.
Ideally, the dog's height is the same as the length, resulting in a rather square impression. The strong, arched neck should blend cleanly into the shoulders.
The head is about half as long as the back from withers to tail attachment. The muzzle and top of the head should form parallel planes. The large nose is black.
The eyes are dark brown and oval. The teeth should meet in a scissors bite. The front legs are straight and parallel. Dewclaws should be removed on the hind legs and may be removed on the front legs as well.
The tail is generally docked to the second or third joint. Cropping the ears is optional. The coat comes in solid black or salt & pepper.
The Giant Schnauzer is an intelligent dog that is good with children and very reliable. This breed proves to be a devoted and good-natured companion that adapts easily to its surroundings and their owner's lifestyle.
They are very protective, bold and spirited. Calm, loyal and responsible. This is a dominant breed that needs an experienced trainer. They are easy to train and respond best to firm, consistent training with a positive attitude and plentiful rewards.
If the Giant Schnauzer is properly trained, it makes a fine pet. This breed is dominant with other dogs and should be socialized extensively both with other dogs and people as a young puppy. It is usually good with other pets and some can be good with other dogs if properly socialized as puppies. They can be fairly reserved with strangers. |
