The Giant Schnauzer is a distinguished German Schnauzer - historically a reliable all-purpose working dog. Steady and adaptable. The Giant Schnauzer requires a good daily walk and some off-lead playtime, and a weekly brush keeps their coat looking its best. The Giant Schnauzer is a solid choice for dedicated first-time owners who can provide consistency, patience, and plenty of company.
