Giant Schnauzer puppies for sale across Canada

Breed history

The Giant Schnauzer originated in southern Germany during the 17th century, particularly in Bavaria. They were bred from Standard Schnauzers, Great Danes, and possibly Bouvier des Flandres to create a larger, more powerful working dog. Initially used as cattle drovers and farm guardians, they later transitioned into industrial and urban roles such as guarding breweries and factories. Their intelligence and trainability eventually led to widespread use in police and military work across Europe.
