Giant Schnauzer

Half of Bumba's family tree. Drove cattle in Bavaria before it guarded homes.

Care tips

Needs 2+ hours of exercise daily and a job for the brain: training, scent work or a sport.
Hand-strip or trim every 2–3 months and comb the beard after meals, ask Bumba how that went.
Large-breed puppy food, and no forced running or long stairs until it's fully grown (around 18 months).
A fast learner that gets bored fast: puzzle toys and short training sessions every day.
Ask the breeder for: hip x-rays, elbow x-rays, eye examination.
Food safety, from Bumba: keep the batch number of every bag. If your dog suddenly can't stand or walk, go to the vet the same hour.

General guidance, not veterinary advice. Your vet knows your dog best.
