Some good history and information on the breed…

The Giant Schnauzer was bred to be protective, starting with their very beginnings in Germany's Bavarian Alps in the mid-10th century.

UPDATE - looks like we have a solution. Local contact will pick her up from vet on Friday and then hand her off to foster family traveling in on Saturday.

Thank you all for your inquiries and offers of help. It never ceases to amaze me how folks in this breed can rally together in time of crisis. Giant people, just like the dogs themselves, are a special breed.

That being said… There is another puppy mill situation in Midwest involving giants. If you can help by fostering or adopting or donating, please visit https://htzrescue.com.

------------------------

Help!

There is an adult female giant in central Texas that needs immediate help. She was pulled from a horrible puppy mill situation and is now at a local vet. She is very underweight and will need lots of love and care in the weeks ahead. A short-term foster home is desperately needed as she has to leave the vet by Friday (Sep 22).

If you can help in any way, please message us and we will connect you with the person in rescue who has been working so hard to deal with this situation.

Congratulations Team Moses!

Moses had a great weekend at the Evergreen KC Scentwork Trial in Greeley, Colorado. He earned his Scentwork Master Interior and Exterior titles plus two legs in Master Containers and one in Master Interior towards his Scentwork Master Elite Title with first place in all searches! One more leg in Master Buried and he will have his Scentwork Master title.

He also earned his NACSW NW3 Title back in July and we will start on his NW3 Elite journey in November.

We are so proud of Laurie for all that she has accomplished with this special boy!

Alice had another great day in Doswell at Sunday’s supported entry by going Select. Pending AKC confirmation, she is now a Grand Champion.

Thanks and congratulations to Alexandra Nikitakis and Catherine Pikul on everything you have done with this girl!
