Giant Schnauzer Health Information:

Giant Schnauzer Exercise Information:

If you are looking for a pet to help you exercise more, then the Giant Schnauzer is for you! This breed needs twice daily, vigorous exercise. Short jaunts may at times suffice, but generally 5 kilometres is the minimum daily walk. The Giant Schnauzer can easily hike 20 kilometres and happily walk again in the evening. Hunters may think this attribute is perfect for long expeditions, however the Giant Schnauzer's wilful tendency means they can inconsistently obey commands. And, if left of the lead, the Giant Schnauzer can run heedless of the owner.

Giant Schnauzer Grooming Needs:

Although the Giant Schnauzer has been described as a non-shedder, this is not entirely true. Like all dogs, regular grooming at home and twice annual stripping will lessen the shed. The moustache and beard do require greater care. The Giant’s facial hair should be cleaned after meals. This has two benefits; it will prevent matting and difficult grooming, and it should also lessen the doggie odor. Some trimming of the eyebrows will be necessary. Be sure to use blunt end shears for this.
