They are the best dogs ever. They are also great family dogs. Yes, they are strong and big and need to properly trained but this applies to any dog if one wish to be a responsible owner.
Dear black giants are pure gold
my family had only giant shnauzers for the past 25 years and they are the most loving and gentle dogs (even with kids, when i was a baby one of them was always licking my feet when i was crying and sleeping with me to make me laugh) theyre the lovliest
Our giant was the runt of the litter and she is currently 90 pounds and a year and a half old. Her father was 110 pounds. She is like having a toddler in the house again. If she is being quiet then you need to find her. And she can't go out to pee without a toy in her mouth. She panics if she can't find one. Our backyard is littered with stuffed animals because she forgets to bring them back in.
Sounds like a great doff!
Do you one sharing your breeders info? @njw1977
My GS is trained. That said, she helped three burglars find the desire to go home immediately. I sent her, and right before she entered the vehicle window, I recalled her as they decided to leave. 😂
Sure buddy
@@billzusner4873 yep. Just made it up. Come on by some time and find out.
Wow fantastic.. Beautiful brilliant dog! Did she get hurt by the glass?
@@Misslisasolutions I called her off before she went in. She’s fine. She acted like it was just a drill. 😊
Nice
Maybe it's how they worded it. But every dog should and needs to be socialized. No dog is born able to calmly maneuver any and every environment or people like being loud or walking by or running by.
I just lost my Giant Roscoe and he was my first dog. Yes, just need to be firm and willing to train. Both you and the dog. Roscoe was 127# at 5 years old. He lived to 11. So, ya, a large breed but alot of fun.
Awesome dogs! Thanks for the comment
I’m so sorry for your loss!! I have a miniature schnauzer named Roscoe. This is our family’s first Breed of schnauzer and we LOVE it. We normally always preferred Rottweilers.

Our boy, Baron, went to 139, and truly was all muscle, never soft or OVER weight, and actually looked trim and fit! He was from an excellent breeder; so, some excellent genetics were on his side for health and temperment. Still, he was defiinitely strong-willed. We were very, VERY careful to socialize and train (with whole-family-consistency) at a very early age, and throughout life. He was loved by the entire neighborhood! Lived 12 years. Died on his birthday. Thrived despite a few toe cancers, but ultimately succumbed to osteo sarcoma in his last 45 days. Went very fast. Miss him terribly. He was my stalwart pal!
To anyone even thinking about getting a GS. Take heed of this video. This is the cold truth not click bait. Our male GS is nearly 6 years old so I know what they are all about. We’ve had other dogs before. Loads of exercise every day, very smart, gets bored very easily. Eats a lot (our has raw food). Very demanding of your time and attention. Think of them as a big heavy hairy toddler that you cannot leave. All that said I love mine to bits. Not an easy dog though.
Thanks for the comment. Awesome breed but can be a lot to handle
@@DogsNowChannel No problem. Credit where it’s due. Before we got our GS I did a lot of reading up & spoke to breeders aswell. He is exactly as I was told he would be. Lately I’ve seen some quite misleading puff pieces about owning a GS on TH-cam that concern me TBH. You have been accurate and fair. People need to realise what they are taking on. I would not recommend a GS with young children for example. Being honest with yourself avoids a lot of misery for both the owner & dog, there are scores of other dog breeds to choose from to get the perfect dog to suit your family, home, work/life balance. A GS is rare for good reason.
Jon. Interesting. I have a gigantic property so there is a lot of running room, etc, and was considering the breed.
I believe all you said and have heard it before. Puzzling though, is that our neighbor in California had one and the dog was very friendly, to me and other neighbors. The owner, a small woman said that yeah, it needed training but that she'd never had any trouble with it at all and that very early on, it learned she was the boss. She said she'd heard that "who is boss" had to be reinforced EVERY single day, but that had not been true with her dog.
Biggest surprise for me was that the dog seemed very calm. Energy yeah, but quite calm. I expected a wayward, headstrong whirlwind. Nope...
Maybe she got a 'prince' of a dog, an outlier.
@@Allan-et5ig Hi. I understand what you mean about ‘be the boss’ and that’s correct sort of BUT that doesn’t mean you have to be mean or mistreat. We are not breaking the dog or anything at all like that. Never. It means showing lots of love, being very consistent with house rules, masses of socialization when young and forever TBH, being very confident and calm yourself in all situations because the dog needs YOU to lead otherwise it will make its own decisions and yes it’s an every day thing. Females are probably less dominant you dont say if your lady neighbours is/was. Sounds like she had good energy and that’s why her dog was the way it was. A big garden is a great advantage provided it’s secure. Our dog is naturally a teffiic guard dog but can clear a 5 foot fence easily if he is minded to so it’s got to be secure. Very strong prey drive. This all sounds like I am putting you off and in a way I am. I absolutely love my GS and he loves us, no doubt about it but these are not easy dogs. Since I left the breeders I have only seen one other GS in 6 years yet hundreds of other breeds out & about. That tells its own story. I would go and find a registered breeder, explain what you are thinking and see if they will let you go and meet some GS dogs, have a long chat and be honest with yourself. I would not buy a GS without seeing it’s mother, it’s home, knowing who the sire was. They are magnificent dogs, handsome, clever, funny, strong willed, powerful, so loyal, that want to be with you all the time. Best of luck with your decision.
slightly further…..forgot to add. Our GS is excellent with neighbours too and calm but he would not tolerate them coming into the garden or house unannounced at all and would run at them, and charge them, no doubt. All the postal people know about him. So to be 100% safe I keep our dog in the rear secure garden all the time where he can run in & out of the house if he wants, I always know where he is safe UNLESS I am with him out the front or out out. If anyone comes into the front he barks like mad through the metal see thru gate. You won’t miss him put it that way! Hope that makes sense.
Had one years ago, they are a terrier mind trapped in a large dog body. They require a lot of attention and it’s hard to tire them out. They do, make good guard dogs naturally, speaking from experience.
Mine is obsessed with swimming. I took him to a dog pool the other day. While we were waiting he could only here the splashes and started crying. Once trained, what a dream dog they can be ❤. I'm getting a poodle puppy in a couple weeks (just worked out with a friend) just for my boy to have a companion while I work. Soccer and walks are enough on some days but not enough every day. I will say I'm glad i didn't let all of this scare me as a first time dog owner but training is a must.
I love my giant, and he does shed a lot. I got him when he was 2. He is now 5 years old. Hes 88 lbs. Great watch, dog. I take him to doggie day care because I work. I would definitely get another one. Great dog.
Thanks for the video~
You're welcome 😊
Informative video. One thing: the ad at the beginning of the video for food had a shot of some beef cuts posed with onions. Onions, like all alliums, are toxic to dogs.
love these dogs!
Okay for loneliness/separation anxiety due to the long work schedules most people work does a second dog help or do they just get good at tag teaming destruction?
Unfortunately a second dog doesn’t help with anxiety. What does tend to help is crate training and a vest, something that makes them feel tight and secure.
Awe, my dog is the best but still gnaws on my pillows when I'm gone 😢. He has his on and if i put it on the couch he'll use that instead of my sleeping pillows. In wish i could take him everywhere. @@tribequest9
But is it strong?
Very. My boy is 6yrs old and 50 kg. He’s strong, athletic, and very determined.
@@jfro5867lmao bruh. Whooooosh
I agree with almost everything you said about Giants. I've had three now, they are HIGHLY intelligent..They do get quite attached to the primary care giver. Don't worry if you already have a cat in your home, they think cat's are dumb. But be careful about strangers on your property if you don't socialize them. All of ours were boy's, ranging from 90 lbs to 115 lbs.
Breaks your heart when they pass away. They truly are a family member. Don't think you can have them in a large size kennel, one of ours was potty trained in that, and he could open the gate with his teeth and paw.
Not for First time owners, without having a stern handle on it. They love water. I miss mine still...
LOL, Just saw this Julie, ours opens doors too, he jumps up and wraps his front paw over the handle to open it. So I’ve put draw bolts on a couple of doors to keep him out of the bedrooms! My wife would go nuts ( with me I might add not the dog he gets away with anything) if he jumped all over the bed with muddy feet.
Good info! Thanks for sharing
@@jfro5867 lol 😆
Ours also used his nose to jingle on the back door to go in and outside.
My Hubby would not let any of ours in the bedroom, because of the mud. Absolutely 💯 Love this Breed.
My dear black giants are pure gold..end off story..so much love for breed..
A couple more things I did not seen this video
They are very prone to same-sex aggression
They are a high Drive dog with a high prey drive
They are hypoallergenic breed
Depending on bloodline, you can get a very different coat type
Show quality is much more suited to being a pet, then working quality
Daily brushing, and haircuts once every two weeks
Also, the sizes that he offered are out of standard
For a male they average 28 at the shoulder
Females average 24 at the shoulder to 26
The average weight is 80 to 90 pounds anything over that is considered oversized anything under is under sized
They are amazing guard dogs amazing if you want to get into bites sports
Amazing sport dogs, especially search and rescue
Great video. They look really nice with floppy ears and long tails.
You have to get there tail docked.
@@julieseifert4680you don’t
I used to have a giant scnauzer , bear 🐻 so much money on food lol. He was so strong willed but such a teddy bear.
My Giant is an amazing family dog. Lovable, ruff and tuff, and mischeivious. He hates storms, and actually chewed through a wooden door when my wife and I was at work. I cannot however, brag on my dog enough, easily trained, and always in tune with his family and surroundings. Naturally protective, some people say dogs are only protective when trained, this isn't true with the GS, he will protect his family if he senses danger. Be watchful of them around children, because they dont know their own strength, and can easily knock down a 200 pound man without effort. They want to be with you at all times, but do have a mind of their own, and will take charge of a unexperienced owner. My approach to my GS was never through yelling or hitting, (this is a huge NO NO), I've always used repetitive training, love, and shown devotion to his needs, in return he has become a wonderful pet. A super domineering owner can turn this dog into something to be feared-so understand the GS won't take to cruelty and become timid, but will become offensive because thats their nature. My GS is my best buddy, I'd recommend this dog to anyone who has experience with large breeds.
How many times do you need to say it’s strong damn .. lol

Every dog needs training and to know that the human is the pack leader, regardless of breed or size. I have worked with many dogs for years and some of the most aggressive ones were small or even breeds people don’t “expect” to be aggressive. At the end of the day dogs are still animals with teeth and can bite so humans are ALWAYS the ones responsible for the dog’s behavior. People need to get a dog that is right for their lifestyle and be educated not just getting a dog based on looks. And it is not fair to the dog when HUMANS are not educated on what they are getting themselves into and they need to be accountable for that. Any dog can be a great addition just like any dog can be a danger. One of the worst dog bites I got was from a Yorkie that had bit multiple people in a two week span. And one of the sweetest dogs I worked with was a Cane Corso that never even curled his lip. I love schnauzers. They are great dogs!
Have a 13 yo Mini that sounds like a giant. Got her a Toy Mini for company. Thinking about a Giant when the Mini passes but might need to go with another mini.
Giant schnauzers are a ton of work and require almost a 24/7 commitment. There are rescue organizations for this breed, because many people cannot handle them. Unlike a mini, a giant will totally change your lifestyle. They’re very loving dogs, but not for most people. I speak from experience I’ve had both types of schnauzers.
Cuties 🐾
This made me want one lol
They're basically a wooly Doberman pinscher.
My words! After two Dobies i am now on my second Giant 😊
@@Keyser_Soze739 Nice, they're great dogs.
I had 2minis at once--we ran into a man with a ĹARGE GIANT my oh my !!! What a mix !!!!! The giant was more freaked 😳 at the end of the play date than mine 😂❤
I love giant schnauzers. It’s a breed I’d love to have one day. 🥰
I just loooooove my Giant Schnauzer NORI ..
How are GS with small kids? Two scenarios I would appreciate providing more info:
1) kid being 2 years old and the GS being a puppy. What should I expect there?
2) kid being 5-6 years old and the the GS being a puppy. Again, what should I expect there?
Are GS gentle with kids in general? Any specific things I should be aware of beforehand? Do they tolerate toddlers’ harsh touch/play?
What about grooming? Can I do it myself? Frequency?
Thank you.
My mini schnauzer dog don't like kids. Schnauzers don't like noise, shout....in my opinion this breed of dog is cute, nice and have a lot of energy 😅 they likes to be the center of attention,they are gentle but they have a character, and they don't tolerate harsh touch 😅 All the breed schnauzers have the same character but i think GS are calmer than mini schnauzers 😅. My dog is jelaous of attention 😅 I think if a small kids would piss him off the dog will go to hide 😅 sorry for my english 😅 this is not my language
We have a 6 month old giant schnauzer and a 6 month old german shepherd. Our giant is extremely friendly and playful but it is a VERY physical play to say the least. She learns new commands with 10-20 repetitions typically but keep sessions to 5-15 minute segments with play and praise between😂 the activity and mental stimulation required for giants is very high….i put in 6-11 miles on foot every day typically so I can’t imagine what our pups put in🤣 we have 17 and 11 year old girls and our 11 year old would have had a lot of trouble handling our giant 5 years ago…but if you do not leave a younger child unsupervised i would see no issue at all👍 natural property protection instincts started showing at 3.5-4 months old(but warms up to friends n family very quickly) we have been socializing in public since 3 months old and she does quite well with external stimulation. All in all i would recommend a giant schnauzer in a heartbeat as long as you have TONS of time to devote to the pup and a good sized yard😁👍
@@nibiru9035 thank you a lot.
We got our GS when he was 9 weeks old, trained him ourselves. My brother (much younger than me:) was 18 months old, my sister was yet to come. Our Short has NEVER made any harm to either of them, not even unintentionally. He was extremely big and strong, even for this race, but equally delicate and careful with kids. Sometimes they happened to pull his ears (or tongue!) and stick fingers in his nose or eyes, as very little children can do. He just sighed and moved aside. I don't know any other GS living with toddlers, so I cannot guarantee its always the same. But ours was an example of goodness.
@@domikm1767 thank you a lot for your feedback. Out of curiosity, how old are you with these younger siblings of yours??
I've had my boy for 3 years now. Love him to death. I would certainly get another but I would never recommend the breed to anyone. Sounds odd doesn't it?
Several joking comments about how often narrator says "strong". It can't be understated. He's 100lbs of lean muscle but the force multiplier is the 'strong' will as well. And his goofy awkwardness can't be understated. They don't know how strong they are and can be like a bull in a china shop. If you own a GS, you're not allowed to own nice things. 😄
bull in a china shop!
100% agree. My 6 yr old male is 50kg and solid muscle. He’s always had raw food. I would not recommend one either unless you can totally devote your life to them. I love mine to bits but he’s not an ‘easy’ dog. Have spend countless hours especially when he was a pup socializing him and he is wonderful now and goes everywhere with me BUT he would be an absolute nightmare if he was badly behaved.
Mine is protection trained and seemingly human level intelligent. I can ask her what she wants, then when she shows me, I can ask her where she wants it and she will show me that as well. She will sweep the property on command and loves to work. If you get one, give them plenty of work to do. They love it. Also get ready to never poop alone ever again. 😂
Thinking a Giant is human intelligent is a HUGE mistake! It just proves that your girl has tricked you into believing that because, believe me, she is a lot smarter than most humans😊
For socializing would it be good to get another dog with him/her in the family? Also would it have to be a specific breed?
Socializing typically means getting them used to things outside of the home, not just in the home. And whatever you do, don't get 2 dogs at the same time unless they are bonded adults.
I had 2 Giants best thing I ever done
they are a great family dog. Mine is great with both humans and dogs alike. She has a great eager to play with other dogs. At dog park she makes sure she gets petted by all humans. I some time wonder if she is a giant teddy bear as seems to be all lovy dowy. I, however, to my dislike, very timid. Any dog being aggressive or dominant , be it medium or large or giant, she gets scare and runs towards human protection with her tail between legs. But at the same time does everything to play with the dogs. It makes me wonder if she can be bold and protective when things go south for us. I believe this breed is a bit skittish.
She is very smart, learnt all commands quickly as if she already new them and learn more. She always wants to engage with human and loves fetching ball.
I have a Giant Schnoodle and I promise they are the biggest babies in a dog breed, lol. She's VERY aggressive to people she doesn't properly know, so we have to physically introduce slowly. She definitely found her way out of her crate at the start but we fixed that real fast.
Giant schnauzers are quite hard to train, but once they are trained they remember everything they were taught.
No they are not
@@tomfisher47 they're harder to train than other breeds
@@ob1qtx421ha! Try beagles!
Also take in consideration: 1. Your Giant is smarter than you and 2. For a Giant if something happens once it’s coincidence, if it happens twice, it’s a new rule.😊
I just dog sat a standard version for a week. He was fairly untrained and not very socialized as a puppy. I was glad the whole time that he was 20-30lbs or he would of been a handful. I have had large dogs my entire life and just lost my golden a few years ago. All these dogs I was able to raise and train from 3 months, so they were easy to handle.. Inside the Schnauzer was a sweet and smart dog, it was just outside when he became erratic and hard to predict. Any other larger dog and or person that would approach us, it was all out crazy time.
Hey I might get a GS can they stay home alone for 8 hours while I work ?
No German shepherds need way more mental and physical stimulation than that it’s a working breed
I meant giant schnauzer
@@UnderDog748 are you dumb?
Well with the separation anxiety, it’ll be hard to manage. They could get destructive so will need to probably stay in a crate unless you have a big property and can let it run around outside. I’ve never had one but that’s my best guess on how to handle it. Getting them exercise before and after work can help a lot too. Wear them out.
If you're gone for 8hours a day, a dog is not for you period.
I wonder if this is a strong dog
Giant Schnauzers are pretty on-par with German Shepherds as far as strength goes. Ours was a protection dog that did quite a bit of cart-pulling. I was around 220lbs at that time(he's passed away, and I've lost weight), and he was content to pull that for as long as I ever asked him to. For context, he was about 105lbs at his heaviest point.
I'be owned purebreds of 6 different breeds in my life. If I could start over from the beginning, I would have started and stuck with Giant Schnauzers, and never looked back. They are large but not unmanageably so, very trainable, can learn a lot of different jobs/sports, very loyal, standoffish with strangers... there are too many positive traits to list. A truly outstanding breed.
Hmm. I also wonder if the ground is down and the sky is up.
Damn strong. Needs an even stronger handler!!!
They are incredibly powerful.
They would kill a bastard like you in a second!
Isn’t the max height 27.5 in and weight 85lbs? 💀
110 lbs actually but I’m not sure about the height. I have seen some online get up to 130 but that’s abnormal.
@@farriermaiden7289 oh cause on the akc website it says the most is 85lbs
I’ve wanted to own one for a while now, just want to make sure of how big they can get
@@treasurewilliams13 it does vary but I would just recommend that you see the parents of the dog before you buy a puppy to make sure they aren’t too big for you and so you can see the dog overall.
@@treasurewilliams13 mine is 70 lbs at 8 months

Mines attacked a pitbull
So if you don't want to have a dog that is lots of dog don't get this dog 😂
For sure those are not reasons to have a dog..
I agree fully! It are just things to know.
7 reasons NOT TO WATCH THIS VEDEO….
Sake, you Americans are . Let's teach them to fight.. attack,, where as, over here in Scotland, we teach our dogs to stand fast, be calm , enjoy their life, with their leader, and family.
You saw something somewhere once and decided to let it shape your opinion of an entire country?
I have had all my vets tell me to never feed a dog raw meat. I will listen to my vet, not an add that pays for misinformation.
