Good looking pup! He also looks smart enough to know how to cause trouble.

I’ve entertained trying one of these breed out, but none were available when looking & I got another GSD.
I read they are similar in temperament, drive, family, and guarding. Look forward to hear more when your pup is all grown up. |

A lady was showing her dog at all of the local shows but despite having a tremendous dog, she never placed higher than third. She cornered one of the judges after one show and asked why her dog never won. "Well, the problem is that your dog has too much hair between its toes and we have to deduct points because of that. You have a great dog, but it’s not winning because of the hair between its toes." Upset, the lady says, "I trim it as close as possible! What can I do!?" "Well", the judge said, "go to the pharmacy and get some liquid hair remover and put it between your dog’s toes. You’ll be able to pull the hair right out and you’ll win best in show, I guarantee it!" So the lady rushed to the pharmacy to find the liquid hair remover. She went up and down every aisle but couldn’t find it. The pharmacist saw her searching and asked if he could help. "I’m looking for liquid hair remover, and I can’t find it." The pharmacist said, "It’s on aisle ten. I’ll show you." He walked her over and picked up the bottle. As he handed it to her he said, "Now, after you use this, you can’t wear panty hose for a couple of days because the chemicals will bond the nylon to your skin." The lady said, "Oh, it’s not for my legs, it’s for my schnauzer." And the pharmacist said, "Well in that case, don’t ride a bicycle for at least a week." |

We had a gsd mix. VERY smart dog. There were situations where she didnt like something and instinctively put herself between us and whatever she didnt like. Giants are occasionally used for Police work still but they are more hard headed than GSD from what I understand. Giants seem to stay puppies forever. Love to play and be big dorks but are protective. Otto (my pet Moose) would always try to prevent the kids from running and jumping in the pool. Drove them crazy but Im sure in his mind he was trying to protect them from certain death. |

Are these hypo-allergenic like the smaller ones? I think I'm ready for a new dog but don't feel like dealing with the allergies. Had a GSD that I ended up being pretty allergic to after awhile. Been around miniature schnauzers with no problems though. I just can't deal with the high pitched yapping.
I assume the Giants have some decent bass to their bark? |

I assume the Giants have some decent bass to their bark? View Quote Yes. Mostly. They dont shed per se but they do lose a little hair. Some folks will say they are a completely different breed than the minis and they are. We've had 4 minis and IMO as far as being hypo allergenic they are. I have bad allergies and some dogs make me itchy but never have an issue with Giants or Minis. They also don't get stinky like a lot of dogs. Our Mastador smells like a dirty vacuum cleaner bag about a day after being washed. The giants only smell a little if they've been outside all day but then so do I. The trade off is grooming. I groomed them when we had two minis and Otto the first Giant. It was work but I did ok. After they all passed I decided from now on we're getting them done professionally so I can enjoy them vs always feeling like I needed to give them a groom. Its spendy as hell for a Giant but money well spent in my book. Depending on your groomer you could be looking at $125 - $175 per groom. We always wanted to have a pair of them and have plans to get a 2nd one. Lawd that grooming bill is going to be sucky. They do get a big dog bark. Both of our previous ones liked to lead off with a blood curdling BAROOOOOO! then start barking. So many funny Barooo related stories. Gaming with my friend on the xbox. Lulu (aka Lulu Baroo) would hear something and Baroo! and I could hear my friend jump thru the headset. Every time. One time we were camping and a big family came walking down the road. Kids and ladies were walking up front and Lulu just looks at them all happy/friendly as they passed. The men were in back looking a little drunk. Lulu was just watching. One guys says, "That one needs a saddle." Lulu says, "BAROOOOOO!" Startled him so bad he fell down. ROFL. We laughed. He laughed. All the other campers around laughed. Murphy hasn't touched one of those off yet but his bark is already getting down there. Its only a matter of time. |

We've had three mini schnauzers over the years. Always wanted a giant, but could never find one when we were looking. Absolutely love the breed. Best dogs! Your two look awesome!
