#10 It should not be forgotten that these dogs have well-developed hunting instincts.
Therefore, when walking, a dog can get carried away by hunting and get lost.
#11 Sometimes Giant Schnauzers pose ostentatiously and draw attention to themselves.
This is one of the hallmarks of their character.
#12 Dogs of this breed are irreplaceable as playmates with children and are very tolerant of toddlers’ fun.
For very young children, they become caring nannies. These dogs are tolerant of other animals in the house. Very strong contacts can occur if animals are raised together.
Much of this information is incorrect. Giants are NOT good with children, and 2-3 hours of exercise should be the bare minimum to avoid behavioral issues (destructiveness, aggression and the like). They DO shed, though that can be reduced by vigorous, daily brushing.
Giants were bred to be multi-purpose farm dogs. Herding cattle or sheep all day, digging rats out of the hay in the barn, wresting and exterminating raccoons from the orchard, pulling a cart with produce into market and not allowing any stranger to set foot on the property. They have a huge amount of stamina and require an owner to reschedule their lives around the dog’s needs. This is not a breed who can be expected to successfully sit on the couch with one or two romps around the back yard daily and an occasional weekend hike.
