   The Giant Schnauzer originated in the country side of Bavaria and Wurrtemburg. Developed in the 17th century. Cattlemen there were inpressed by the smaller Standard Schnauzer, and sought to emulate them on a larger scale that would be suitable for driving cattle. It is likely , though not documented, that they crossed the Standard Schnauzer with larger dogs including the . Great Dane and Bouvier des Flandres, and even crosses with the black poodle. They worked as guard dogs on the farm, in the butchers, and the breweries.  The Giant Schnauzer excel in a vast range of fields, from police work and guard work, search and rescue, the agility ring and hearding.

They are enough to keep an experienced owner on their toes.

They tolerate the cold better than the sun.  Given the ideal exercise and mental stimulation you will be rewarded with a calm and settled companion. They have a high prey drive, so care is needed to ensure that you have trained a reliable recall and exercise off-leash in a safe enviornment . They learn quickly, and while this can be to your advantage, it can also mean that they can learn the wrong thing just as quickly. Early enrolment to puppy classes is essential so that you soon have a well-mannered dog who will be a pleasure to own. The key to harmonious living with a Giant Schnauzer is ensuring that their physical and mental needs are met. Then they become a well-mannered family dog who is a delight to live with.
