Typical features of the Schnauzer are its blunt-wedged muzzle and coarse, long beard. The tail has been traditionally docked and the ears cropped into an erect, pointed shape which added to the dog's already alert expression.
Although it looks like a terrier, the Giant Schnauzer is a true drover. It is a bold and dependable guard dog, combining the qualities of an alert and adaptable working dog and a good-natured, handsome family dog with a reliable temperament. An excellent dog for families desiring both a protector and companion.
