The
Giant Schnauzer's main occupation today is as a police dog. He is a
bold, strong, smart dog who does best with a serious, experienced,
and confident owner. With solid obedience training, he will reward
you with loyalty and obedience.
This
hard-working breed also makes a wonderful pet for owners and
families with the time and space to accommodate its needs. The Giant
is a dog that should be kept busy, and needs obedience training from
a young age. An owner who invests the time to properly train a Giant
will be rewarded with a loyal companion who will do almost anything
to please.
