How to Groom a Giant Schnauzer

The Giant Schnauzer is a large, strong dog with a squarish body. Breeders cross bred Great Danes, Bouvier des Flandres and Standard Schnauzers to create the Giant Schnauzer. These dogs are extremely loyal, love company and are smart and thoughtful dogs. The grooming regimen for this breed is fairly low maintenance. Dedicate most of your grooming time to maintaining the double coat.
