    Giant Schnauzer

    Giant Schnauzers are powerful looking dogs with an imposing air about them and they are known as a "groomed breed" because they have high maintenance coats which need to be hand stripped several times a year. They are the epitome of agility strength and unique looks which are just some of the reasons why the breed has become so popular with people all over the world. But it's not just their charming looks that get these dogs noticed because they boast wonderful personalities and rarely would a Giant Schnauzer display any sort of aggressive behaviour unless they feel threatened that is.
