Giant Schnauzer Pups
Giant Schnauzer puppies are intelligent, high-energy, and willful dogs known for their iconic bearded look, requiring firm training and consistent socialization. They are affectionate with family but naturally protective and territorial, often acting aloof toward strangers. These large working dogs need extensive mental stimulation and physical exercise.
Standard Black or Ghost White
The Giant Schnauzer comes from Bavaria, where it was first bred back in the 1700's. It is the result of crossbreeding between a standard Schnauzer, Black Great Dane and Bouvier des Flandres.
