Giant Schnauzer

The schnauzer coat scaled up to a powerful working dog of roughly 25 to 45 kg. The harsh, wiry double coat sheds little, but there is a great deal of it, and grooming a dog this size costs far more in time or salon fees than grooming a Miniature. A Giant needs serious daily exercise, firm, consistent training and a job to do, so it is a sensible choice only for experienced, active owners who want a big dog without the hair of a shepherd.
