Breed History
The Giant Schnauzer was created as a working dog to drive livestock to market in the middle of the nineteenth century. This larger breed, which was developed from the Standard Schnauzer, worked as a guard dog for farmers, shopkeepers, and innkeepers.
Giants took on new responsibilities more in keeping with their protector ancestry as European police dogs and military K-9s when livestock began to be transported to markets by train. They are esteemed in America not just as household watchdogs but also as outstanding show dogs and top-notch obedience competitors.
