GIANT SCHNAUZER

History - The Giant Schnauzer originated  in the country of Bavaria and Wurrtemburg.  Cattlemen were impressed with the  smaller Standard Schnauzer and sought to have it on a larger scale.  Great Danes  and Bouvier des Flanders cross breeding occured.  This could also have happened  between a black Poodle, Wolf Spitz and Wirehaired Pinscher have also been  suggested as one of the breeds to create the Giant Schnauzer. 

Temperament - Playful, rambunctious and  may be too boisterous for small children, otherwise it is very good with children in its own family.  It is a bold protector of the family.

Upkeep - This breed needs daily exercise and fun.  It loves long hikes and walks and to run loose in a safe area.  It likes to live in cool climates.  It likes to go between yard and house.  It  needs to be combed about 2 times a week.

Size - The Giant Schnauzer can weigh up to 90 pounds.  The height of the male is 25 1/2 to 27 1/2 at the shoulder.  The female is 23 1/2 to 25 1/2 inches at the shoulder.
