Introduction

A well-bred Giant Schnauzer closely resembles the standard Schnauzer - only larger. As their name suggests, the Giants are putting up.

A male can weigh 27.5 on the shoulder and weigh 95 pounds. The muscular, substantial body is, as the fanatics of the breed call it, ""the bold and brave figure of a dog."" The double coat is either solid black or ""pepper and salt."" The familiar features of the Mini, Standard and Giant are a stiff beard and eyebrows, reflecting a deep, sharp expression.

History

The Giant Schneiser was developed in the Bavarian Alps in the mid-1800s. These rugged Working Dogs, bred from standard Schnauzer, were used to bring cattle from the farm to the market.

They also served as formidable Guard Dogs for farmers, traders and innocent people. After the railroad turned cattle trains obsolete, the Giants found work as European police and military K-9s. In the US, the Giants earned a name as eye-catching show dogs, obedience champions, and courageous guardians of home and family.

General Appearance

The giant Schnauzer should be, as nearly as possible, a larger and more powerful version of the standard Schnauzer in general appearance, as on the entire bold and brave figure of a dog. Strong, strong, strong, almost square in proportion to body length, active, strong and well fleshy. Temperament that combines emotion and alertness with intelligence and credibility. Composed, attentive, courageous, easily trained, deep loyalty to the family, playful, sociable in repo, and an obedient figure when excited. Sound, reliable nature, rugged construction, and dense weather-resistant wiki coat make for one of the most useful, powerful and enduring working breeds.

Breeding

The gestation period in lasts for 60-64 days The primary period of the reproductive cycle of the female is called Proestrus and goes on for around 9 days. During this time the females begin to draw in males. The subsequent part is the Estrus when the bitch is receptive to the male. It goes on for around 3 to 11 days. The third part is the Diestrus. Usually, it happens around day 14. In this period the bitch's discharge changes for distinctive red and reaching its end. The vulva gets back to average, and she will no longer allow mating. The fourth part called the Anestrus. The time span between heat periods ordinarily keeps going around a half year. The litter size ranges between 6 to 8 puppies at a time

Giant Schnauzer Grooming

The Giant Schnauzer has a dense, wavy, weather-resistant double coat with a soft undercoat and a stiff outer coat. Giant should be brushed weekly, and regularly clipped or stripped to maintain a healthy and attractive coat. The owner must be willing to spend time to maintain the coat or plan to have the dog groomed from time to time by the breeder or someone whom the breeder advises. Giant ears should be regularly checked for signs of infection, and teeth should be brushed frequently using toothpaste designed for dogs.

Giant Schnauzer Training

Highly intelligent and strongly territorial, the giant Schnauzer loves his bosses and feels a lot of responsibility to protect them. He learns quickly and can distinguish between friend and foe. Giants want to live with their owners and cannot be ignored or left in the yard. A Giant Schnauzer also needs to do something as simple as chasing a ball. The Giant is a "high-energy, protective, regional Guard Dog," says a fan of a major breed. "Ethnicity is not for the casual owner." Giants do their best with fencing running rooms, regular exercise and activities that provide mental and physical exercise. They enjoy dog sports such as karting, herring, agility, ability testing, and obedience. Early socialization and puppy training classes are a must with this strong, protective breed.

Giant Schnauzer Nutrition

More energetic and up-tempo than most larger breeds, Giants require a lot more exercise. It would be nice to take long daily walks, play sessions with other dogs or romance with their owners in the yard. Legendary workout companions for bicyclists, bicyclists, cross-country skis, swimming, or schizophrens. All these activities require very active involvement with the owner. Vishal needs a companion as a human being with whom he can play, or with another big dog. Finding sports that he will hide and seek or chase a tennis-ball, practice both mind and body and help keep him fit and happy.

Giant Schnauzer Exercise

Giant Schenzer should be given a high quality diet suitable for the dog's age (puppy, adult or senior) and activity level. Treatment training can be an important aid, but giving too much can lead to obesity. Know which human foods are safe for dogs, and which are not. If you have any concerns about your dog's weight or diet, check with your vet.
