Looking for Giant Schnauzer
Either a puppy or a youngish rescue dog. Must be good with small children
(4-7). Will have access to a very large, safe yard. Salt and pepper female would be ideal, but open to other available dogs. .This will be a pet (not a show dog). I live in the Northeast. Please email me directly if you know of a suitable pet. Thanks, Stacey |

Thanks, Stacey There are tons of GS available - probably unfortunately for the breed. Have you done a search for clubs, breeders, kennels etc? You should be able with a little careful homework, to find a responsible breeder in your area. Make sure however, that you "do" do your homework thoroughly as to what a "responsible" breeder is all about. The breed has many major genetic problems so should you find puppies where the breeder has not had his stock health tested and for at least a few generations in the pedigee - up front, then I'd run as fast as I could and find another. Orthopedic problems, CHD, eye problems very common. If you haven't had the breed before, be prepared for a very high energy dog, who "needs" a job of work and to be kept busy. They are not a dog to lie around the house and play only when you want him to. Definitely not a dog to be banished to the yard or they will invent plenty to keep themselves busy and it won't something you would probably want. They are a working dog through and through and can become very aggressive and guardy if not carefully directed. Also be prepared to learn to groom or pay a pro to do it every six weeks. They are a pretty high maintenance breed. Fun to be sure if you are willing to invest a great deal of time into the breed. EGD |
