Whether your giant has long wispy bangs or bushy brows resembling Groucho Marx, these basic tips will help you tame those eye- brows to show off those beautiful giant schnauzer eyes. 1. Comb eyebrows forward, then comb down and slightly to the side. 2. Using an imaginary line from the outside corner of each eye to a spot between the stop and the nose as reference, cut eyebrows from the cor- ner of the eye to the area between the eye and nose (for a longer eyebrow, aim closer to the nose). The drawing shows cut- ting the eyebrows from Beautiful photo showing the hallmark schnauzer eye- the back with the points brows. Pictured is Ch.

FCI-CLASSIFICATION : Group 2 Pinscher and Schnauzer- Molossoid breeds - Swiss Mountain and Cattle Dogs. Section 1 Pinscher and Schnauzer type. With working trial. BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY : Originally the Giant Schnauzer was used in the region of Southern Germany to drive cattle. Around the turn of the century, determined breeders realised that he had outstanding working capabilities and particularly valuable traits in character. Since 1913 the breed has been registered in a stud book, and in 1925 already the Giant Schnauzer has officially been recognised as a working dog. GENERAL APPEARANCE : Large, powerful, stocky rather than slim. An enlarged, powerful image of the Schnauzer. An imperturbable dog, prepared for defence, whose appearance fills with respect. IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS : • Square build in which height at the withers is nearly equal to the body length. FCI-St. N° 181 / 10.06.2021 3 • The length of the head (measured from the tip of the nose to the occiput) corresponds to half the length of the topline (measured from the withers to the set on of the tail). BEHAVIOUR / TEMPERAMENT : Typical characteristics of this dog are his good natured, even temperament and his incorruptible loyalty towards his master. He has highly developed sense organs, intelligence, trainability, strength, endurance, speed, resistance to weather and diseases.

I know it will be a better one for all of us. Welcome to the first issue of our ‘bigger and better’ bulletin thanks to the talented Carol Urick. Carol was the editor of Daneline for many years and evolved it into the wonderful publication that it was. We only ended it due to lack of funds in the club and the increasing cost of publication. Since I’ve been doing Throwback Thursday, I’ve heard from several people across the country who told me that they looked forward to getting it each year at the National. I hope everyone will get on board with getting your brags and litters listed. We are planning an every other month publication so the next deadline should be March 1st. I would like to welcome our new Associate Members, Michelle Hojdysz from New Rochelle, NY and Anne Sanders from Gardiner, NY. We hope to actually meet you in person when dog shows open up again.

  • 2017 Horrible Hundred Report
    The Horrible Hundred 2017 A sampling of problem puppy mills and puppy dealers in the United States May 2017 For the fifth straight year, The Humane Society of the United States is reporting on problem puppy mills, including some dealers (re-sellers) and transporters. The Horrible Hundred 2017 report is a list of known, problematic puppy breeding and/or puppy brokering facilities. It is not a list of all puppy mills, nor is it a list of the worst puppy mills in the country. The HSUS provides this update annually, not as a comprehensive inventory, but as an effort to inform the public about common, recurring problems at puppy mills. The information in this report demonstrates the scope of the puppy mill problem in America today, with specific examples of the types of violations that researchers have found at such facilities, for the purposes of warning consumers about the inhumane conditions that so many puppy buyers inadvertently support. The year 2017 has been a difficult one for puppy mill watchdogs. Efforts to get updated information from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) on federally-inspected puppy mills were severely crippled due to the USDA’s removal on Feb. 3, 2017 of all animal welfare inspection reports and most enforcement records from the USDA website. As of April 20, 2017, the USDA had restored some Puppies at the facility of Alvin Nolt in Thorpe, Wisconsin, were found on unsafe wire flooring, a repeat violation at the facility. Wire flooring animal welfare records on research facilities and is especially dangerous for puppies because their legs can become other types of dealers, but almost no records on entrapped in the gaps, leaving them unable to reach food, water or pet breeding operations were restored.

  • Is a Giant Schnauzer the Right Dog for You? by Daphne Cooke
    Is a Giant Schnauzer the Right Dog for You? by Daphne Cooke Reprinted from What You Should Know About The Giant Schnauzer, 5th Edition ©1988 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ARE GIANT SCHNAUZERS GOOD WITH CHILDREN? This question should be reversed. Are your children good with dogs? No dog, Giant Schnauzer or otherwise, should be expected to put up with abusive treatment or teasing from children who have not been taught to treat animals with kindness. Even very young children can and must be taught respect for the family dog, or you can expect problems. All too often parents purchase a dog for the kids. They envision the kids taking care of the new puppy and everyone playing together happily. Puppies should never be bought for the children. At least one adult must accept the ultimate responsibility for the dog. One who really wants it and understands the care, training and love that the dog will need. Even a responsible teenager who asks for a dog should be reminded that teenagers usually leave home and leave their pets behind. Who will take care of the Giant Schnauzer then? ARE GIANT SCHNAUZERS ROAMERS? Any dog who is not on a leash or in a fenced yard is a potential roamer, and possible troublemaker. Giant Schnauzers should be fenced at home or reliably trained for voice control, and you should be on the end of the leash when not at home. It is your responsibility to keep the dog safe from unfamiliar dangers (cars, trucks, garbage, irate neighbors) and to clean up after it.

  • Dilated Cardiomyopathies in Dogs
    Dilated cardiomyopathies in dogs Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is primary disease of the muscle of the heart, characterized by a progressive decline in the contractility of the ventricles, dilation of all the cardiac chambers, leading to congestive heart failure (CHF), arrhythmias, and death. Histopathology of the cardiac muscle (myocardium) reveals necrosis of cardiac cells, scar tissue (fibrosis), and sometimes replacement of the cardiac muscle cells by fat. Interestingly enough, there is very little inflammation. Prevalence and demographics Adult-Onset DCM The overall prevalence of DCM in the general canine population is 0.5-1.1%. This cardiopathy represents 11% of all cardiac diseases in dogs. The prevalence of this disease is 5 times greater in pure-bred dogs (0.65%), than in mixed-breed dogs (0.16%). Large breed dogs are far more susceptible to DCM than small breed dogs. Amongst these breeds, the most predisposed are the Scottish Deerhound, the Doberman Pinscher and the Irish Wolfhound, followed closely by the Great Dane, the Boxer and the St Bernard. Then, one can cite the Afghan Hound, the Newfoundland, the English Sheepdog, the English Cocker spaniel, the American Cocker spaniel, the Labrador, and the Golden Retriever (Figure 1).
