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.

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.
