Mary Dick has done serious obedience work with her conformation champion Giants, as her current dog, Frankie (Ch OTCH Magnas Cant Take My Eyes Off of You UDX2 OM5), is an obedience trial champion, and her two previous Giants have earned their Utility dog titles. Their Schnauzers are more narrow, less stocky, than most Schnauzers I've seen. Still, its background as a breed both gentle enough to safely herd livestock and tough enough to defend a farmers property have made the modern Giant Schnauzer a very versatile breed, with Giants earning titles in virtually every dog sport for which the breed is eligible. These days, the Tuerlers make sure the dogs only jump over agility, obedience and IGP jumps. My family member was in the market for a Giant Schnauzer and companion after the death of her husband, and was led on for 3 months by Pat to believe that we had a puppy from an "Oops" litter as she called it. Youve got to love and appreciate this breeds sense of humor!. www.giantschnauzerrescue.net/health/health.htm Ive always loved tough, independent, driven dogs that keep you on your toes.

They drove cattle to market and then guarded the proceeds of the sale on the way home. They have amazing brains and are extremely fast learners, but they are also very independent thinkers and will always try to find their own way to do things, Raukhverger reminds.

Duchess (Intl Ch Duchess Denali Tuerler VCD3 TDX UDX MX MXP MJP CGC TDI FH BH), another Tuerler Giant, loved tracking. Their sound and reliable temperament combined with the breeds natural desire to work prepares them for unlimited dog sport disciplines., Riley notes thattracking is a sport that caters to the Giants natural prey drive, as do fun activities like fastCAT. Contact Page If there were shady characters around, the presence of a Giant makes them think twice about messing with the car the dog is protecting. I believe you are correct.

How about the farmers in the Bavarian Alps along about the 17th Century who needed a multi-purpose dog, big enough to drive cattle to market and formidable enough to guard their property? People are either unfamiliar with this work or think the dogs are dangerous, she says. Our breed standard mentions temperament combining spirit and alertness with intelligence and reliability first, even before coat and build., Lietzau says that unshakeable character is what makes the Giant Schnauzer one of the most useful, powerful and enduring breeds, ideally suited for any dog sport where the dog needs what she calls an on and off switch., Giants that are bred or cultivated for work are very commanding and threatening when aroused, but still must be perfectly under control of their handler, continues Lietzau, whose dogs are Cash (Am/Can Ch Momentumm Strategic Command AD IGP1,) River (Ch Momentumm AuSable V. Iro SchH3 AD) and Starr (Am/Can Ch U-Ch Momentumm V.I.P. I have seen many Giants become fearful and/or too aggressive especially in IGP.

Someone above suggested Skansen as "one of the best" kennels, but I would encourage you to do some heavy research into any breeder you consider purchasing a puppy from. This was our Winston: www.flickr.com/photos/25713791@N03/8333882869/in/set-7215 But outside of training and trials, Tuerler has had some interesting experiences with her Giants, including the time her husband Bernue and Arn surprised a neighborhood burglar when he exited the nearby woods. An inexperienced trainer can ruin a Giant if they dont understand the breed. Unfortunately, the suspected burglar didnt have a sleeve, so Arn was disappointed and the burglar never got to experience his active aggression, Tuerler recalls.

That said, Dick acknowledges that her Giants have made her a better trainer. Herding and bite work, which is part of IGP, are so rewarding that these activities are the game and the reward, she says. Most are first-time owners who come with little breed knowledge or understanding of the correct temperament and coat. She had intended on not showing this litter because it was an accident which happened at a boarding facility from pets with different breeding lines. Boredom and inactivity are why we have so many Giants in rescue situations.
