The Labs definitely outnumbered all the other purebred dogs and even the mixed-breeds, which we singled out in 2005 as the Official Breed of the Summer. Amazing how a certain breed becomes the rage in a given year. It is understandable when Walt Disney Jazz, one of the WV 20, before and after her makeover. makes a movie starring 101 Dalmatians but why were the Mixed-Breeds so n April 11, 2006 Maryann Bisceglia notified me that information and popular last year and the Labradoodles reports were circulating on various web sites regarding 20 Giants confiscated the year before? Well no matter— on or about April 3, 2006 by a County Animal Control Office in West Labradors make great family pets. I Virginia. I accessed the articles reported in the local paper. The breeder was a dog O recommend them to most people who show acquaintance of ours from the early 1990’s but we had not been in contact ask me about Giant Schnauzers. It in 10 years. Maryann said the Giant rescue groups were very upset and vocal but takes a special family to raise, educate apparently having difficulty in their approach and handling of a crisis of this nature. and care for a Giant Puppy. Our breed She asked if I would intervene. The mission wassimple : get the dogs released by the is not for everyone. breeder and away from Animal Control. One Haircut Suits All! I obtained a telephone number for the address given in the newspaper accounts; t was obvious this summer that reached an unidentified answering machine; left my name, phone numbers, offers the groomers in the Washington/ of assistance and request for a return call. Surprisingly, the breeder (owner of the Baltimore/Philadelphia area dogs) returned my call within 24 hours. After a difficult and emotional discussion, (maybe all across the country) have the breeder agreed to release all 20 Giants to Maryann and myself to coordinate I simplified their lives by standardizing placements with the help of the GSCA and Giant rescue organizations. There were the multitude of doggie hairstyles. All concerns and reservations as the majority of the 20 Giants were from 5 to 12 years the fluffy and longhaired breeds of dogs old and, as such, more difficult to place. I stated we would “do our best” but could were wearing the same doo: clippered not rule out the possibility of some of the dogs being put down. body and legs with hair left on the tail My next call was to the breeder’s attorney to obtain his approval and support in our and head. At least 50% of the Goldens proposed efforts. The attorney approached the County Prosecutor and the Sheriff ’s were dressed this way, not to mention Department to enlist their cooperation. I was then given the names of the Deputy in Miniature Schnauzers, Bouviers, charge of the case and the director of Animal Control. We proposed having the dogs Collies, and Setters. I even saw a released to the GSCA to relieve the County of the burden of housing them until the clippered, long-haired Dachshund. criminal case was resolved (this was mid-April and the first hearing was scheduled How hard can it be to comb out a for July). Neither Animal Control nor the Sheriff ’s Department were cooperative at Dachshund? The owners all say their first and several calls had to be made, but ultimately the Prosecutor’s office approved clippered dogs are happier because the release. To avoid confusion, I was designated as the party to coordinate activities they’re cooler and easier to take care because the county offices were receiving many calls from various individuals and of—less vacuuming per chance?.

What Kind of WORK Does Your Giant do? n the last issue of the Hotline, I asked if you would please send me emails about the work your Giants do. Our Giants can do obedience, tracking, rally, herding, carting, therapy work, and Iconformation. What does A Giant Working have to do with helpful hints, you might ask yourself? Well…if Giants are doing things outside of the home, they are sure to call attention to our breed. If someone notices, gets to know you and your dog, they might turn out to be a GREAT Giant home! I know there are many more Giants working out there, doing a variety of jobs, but this is what I have to share: Joe and Anne West’s Giants, Chief and Chance, take turns chaperoning Joe while he is hauling things in his 18 Wheeler. I am certain that they are steadfast at the task at hand, and keep Joe going on the long trips. Six month-old Justice is learning to run Greg Reyna’s grooming shop. He is more than happy to supervise the bathers from his top-row crate. The 2005 National Specialty Winner, Slate, is a working dog for his owner. In the Volume 41, Issue 1 edition of Giant Steps Rita Miscke shared how Slate helps her get around and is truly a working dog at home. Jordan, Haje and Lucy rule the roost at the boarding kennel that Rick and Kathy Heschke own. Isabella rules the Fosters’ roost with the help of her dad Randy. Right from the get-go she convinced him that her assistance is required when he runs errands! Diablo Michener is in the child-sitting business. When Judi Boston was directing a local children’s play, Diablo came along to rehearsals and entertained the kids. Diablo has joined Judi at several plays and from what I hear, he is quite the critic! He does not like the villain scenes, and barks at the bad guy from the front row. IF SCOUT CAN READ…YOU CAN READ! Photo by Robyn My own Scout is quite the workaholic! I teach at a low socioeconomic high school in the suburbs of Dallas. Last year, the school library did a huge literacy campaign featuring these words, “IF SCOUT CAN READ…YOU CAN READ!” I had taken a picture of the big guy reading a history book. They made posters and put them all over the building. Scout became quite famous at my school. One afternoon, the principal invited Scout to come to the school library when a famous poet came to read to the kids. Scout was quite the ambassador for our breed. Only a handful of students came, but to this day, kids I don’t have in class come by and ask when Scout will be coming to school again. The reading teachers loved the gimmick and soon, everyone was taking pictures of themselves reading with their pets. Scout has made several repeat visits to campus, and each and every time, I have been able to get him to hold still long enough to “read” a book. Other Hints: Michelle Smith has found magic with Mr. Clean’s Magic Eraser! It seems to get Giant nose grime off with the swipe of the hand! Thanks Michelle, we can always use a new trick for company cleaning. Back to those Fancy Pants: I noticed in a recent catalog from Pet Edge, they were selling disposable doggie diapers with tail holes pre-cut. I thought they might come in handy for someone who is traveling and doesn’t have easy access to a washing machine. Disposable seems to be best when you are traveling! Next Time: More Useful dog tricks! Please send in your hints, tricks, or story ideas. You can email me at: Ilovegiants.com. I would love to hear from you!

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.

  • 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.

  • Border Collie
    SCRAPS Breed Profile GIANT SCHNAUZER Stats Country of Origin: Germany Group: Herding and Working Use today: Companion, police dog and herder. Life Span: 12 to 15 years Color: Coat colors come in solid black and salt and pepper. Coat: The double coat has a wiry, dense hard, outer coat with a soft undercoat. The hair stands slightly up off the back, with coarser, longer, bushy whiskers, beard and eyebrows. Grooming: The wiry coat is reasonably easy to look after, but the undercoat is dense and it will become matted unless it is combed or brushed weekly with a short wire brush. Clip out knots and brush first with the grain, then against the grain to lift the coat. The animal should be clipped all over to an even length at least four times a year and ear care continually is important. A person can easily learn how to do it themselves. Pet dogs are generally clipped, and show dogs are usually hand-stripped, which is the process of hand plucking the outer guard hairs either with your fingers or a stripping knife. Trim around the eyes and ears with a blunt-nosed scissor and clean the whiskers after meals. They have no doggie odor and shed little to no hair. Height: Males: 26 to 28 inches; Females: 23 - 26 inches Weight: Males: 60 to 105 pounds; Females: 55 to 75 pounds Profile In Brief: An extremely intelligent, energetic, natural the ears are V-shaped, carried close to strongly territorial dog, the Giant Schnauzer the head. The back is straight. The front legs are loves his owners and feels great responsibility to straight when viewed from all sides.
