SCHNAUZER (Giant and Miniature) Puppy Dogs

Schnauzer (Giant & Miniature)

It proceeds from the south of Germany. The standard is the oldest variety. The Giant, more corpulent and robust, it was used as a cowherd dog and a guardian dog. Its strength and capacities have caused its separation from the standard variety as a working dog. There is third variety, the Miniature Schnauzer.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The word schnauzer means "snout". In fact, the flashiest feature of this dog it its snout, underlined in addition, by a long beard, hard as wire that has turned into its main characteristic. When they participate in canine beauty contests and expositions, the shape is accentuated by strategically cutting the beard.

 
These are powerful dogs that take a lot of time to get mature. Its sense of the responsibility and the duty make it particularly ideal as a police and army dog. It is patient and trusting and it can travel 16 km walking without rest and almost with no effort.

PHYSICAL ASPECT
