They are also non-shedding, which means, their hair keeps growing and will need groomed approximately every 4 to 6 weeks. We consider grooming to be a small price to pay for what this striking, robust, all purpose working dog has to offer. Giant Schnauzers are strong, courageous, vigilant, spirited, eager to please, intelligent and extremely loyal. Their intelligence level, soft manner and eagerness to please makes  them easy to train. Giant Schnauzers excel in many areas such as military and law enforcement, search and rescue, diabetic alert, mobility assistances, therapy and protection.

They also enjoy and excel in dog sports such as carting, herding, agility, coursing ability tests, and obedience. They are deeply loyal and very affectionate making them an extraordinary companion. They are instinctively territorial and protective making them bold guardians of their home and family. Giant Schnauzers are not a breed that will greet every visitor with a wagging tail, but with proper socialization they will learn to differentiate between a welcomed and an unwelcomed visitor. They are great with children and other dogs as long as they are socialized properly. Giant Schnauzers are content lounging around the house, but will also need  physical and mental exercise. 

By choosing one of our Giant Schnauzers you will be rewarded with an oversized, fun-loving lap dog accentuating keen sagacious expressions that will keep you smiling day after day.

Schnauzer History

The term "Schnauzer" comes from the German word for snout and means mustache or whiskered snout

The Standard Schnauzer or Mittelschnauzeris thought to be the breed that all modern Schnauzers derived from. The Standard Schnauzer was developed in Germany during the middle ages. They were bred for ratting and vermin control as well as guarding. Schnauzers were considered peasant dogs for farm and utility work for most of their history. In the 19th century, the Schnauzer caught the eyes of German dog fanciers. It was during this time that the Giant and Miniature Schnauzers were established as secondary breeds of the Standard. The Standard Schnauzer was shown in Germany as early as 1879 and gained American Kennel Club recondition in 1908. 


The Giant Schnauzers or Riesenschnauzers are thouht to have been formed by crossing the Standard with other large working dogs such as; Great Danes, Bouvier des Flandres, German Pinschers and Standard Poodles. The Giant Schnauzers were bred up to produce a larger working dog with more power to drive cattle to market. They also served as formidable guard dogs for farmers, merchants, and innkeepers. After railroads rendered cattle drives obsolete, Giants found work as European police and military K9's. In America, Giants gained renown as eye-catching show dogs, obedience champions, and courageous guardians of home and family. 


The Miniature Schnauzers or Zwergschnauzers are thouht to have been formed by crossing smaller Standards with Miniature Pinschers, Affenpinschers, and Miniature Poodles. The Standards were bred down to produce a smaller varmint dog for farmers to keep inside their homes as family pets.


Giant and Standard Schnauzers belong to the AKC Working Group while the Miniature Schnauzer, with it's rat-dog background, resides in the AKC Terrier Group. The Miniature Schnauzer is the only dog in this classification that doesn’t sport the name "terrier" and it all has to do with were they originated.
