Giant Schnauzers for Sale

The Giant Schnauzer is an intelligent and loyal dog who is both larger and stronger than other Schnauzer variations, the Standard Schnauzer and the Miniature Schnauzer. These devoted dogs have plenty of energy to burn and have an ingrained protective instinct with their families.

Giant Schnauzers were first used to herd cattle in Wurttemberg and Bavaria in southern Germany. The early Schnauzers were popular as coach dogs because of their stamina. Later the Giant Schnauzers were used as guard dogs for butcher shops and breweries. In Germany the Giant became the dog of choice for police and military work. In the US and Canada, Giants are used for search and rescue work and also at airports for the detection of dangerous or illegal substances.

The Giant was ranked 78th out of 154 dog breeds in 2005 AKC registrations. Continue browsing to see our available Giant Schnauzers for Sale.
