About
What is a Giant Schnauzer?

Giant Schnauzer history and origins
Developed in Bavaria and Württemberg, Germany as a larger version of the Standard Schnauzer by crossing with larger breeds like the Great Dane. Originally used for driving cattle to market, guarding property, breweries and farms, and later as police and military working dogs.

Prós e contras da raça Giant Schnauzer

O que tem de assumir
- Exige muitos cuidados com o pelo — a descrição do próprio padrão é «The topcoat is rough and sufficiently long to allow the checking of its texture»
Retirado de fontes e não escrito como opinião — investigação de saúde citada, o padrão do próprio registo, e estudos de longevidade revistos por pares. Padrão da raça, FCI. Os animais de um criador podem diferir de tudo isto, e uma coluna vazia significa que não temos nada desse lado, não que não haja nada a dizer.
Characteristics
Padrão da FCI · Giant Schnauzer
Pelo e cor
Tal como o padrão da FCI o estabelece. Cada linha abaixo está nas palavras do próprio padrão, etiquetada com permissible e undesirable.
Coat
The coat should be wiry, harsh, and dense.
It consists of a dense undercoat and a not too short topcoat, lying close to the body.
The topcoat is rough and sufficiently long to allow the checking of its texture
it is neither bristly nor wavy.
Hair on the limbs tends to be less harsh.
Coat short on forehead and ears.
Typical characteristics are the not too soft beard on the muzzle and the bushy eyebrows which slightly shade the eyes
Cor
- Preferred
- Permissible
- Undesirable
- Disqualifying
«Preferred», «permissible», «undesirable» e «disqualifying» — preferida, admissível, indesejável e desqualificante — são as palavras da própria FCI sobre a raça, e ficam em inglês porque é assim que constam do padrão. Descrevem o que o padrão exige — não são uma avaliação de nenhum cão em concreto, nem nossa.
Resumido de FCI standard n°181 — cada etiqueta está nas palavras do próprio padrão, com o veredito passado para a etiqueta ao lado. Leia a cláusula completa na fonte.
O que o padrão penaliza
Aquilo que faz um juiz descontar pontos à raça Giant Schnauzer, e o que a põe fora do ring, nas palavras do próprio registo. Isto descreve o padrão da raça — não é uma lista de verificação para o animal que tem à frente, e um animal de companhia com um defeito desqualificante é um cão que não pode ir a exposição, não um cão doente.
Defeitos graves
Contam fortemente contra um exemplar no ring.
- Clumsy or light build. Too low or too high on leg.
- Inverse sexual type (i.e., doggy bitch).
- Elbows turning out.
- Straight or open hocked hindlegs.
- Hocks turned inwards.
- In Black/Silver: patchy coat.
- Over- or undersize by more than 2 cm but less than 4 cm
Defeitos desqualificantes
Põem o animal fora do ring por completo.
- Malformation of any kind.
- Lack of breed type.
- Faulty mouth, such as over- or undershot or wry mouth.
- Severe faults in individual parts, such as faults in structure, coat and colour.
- Over- or undersize by more than 4 cm
FCI varieties
FCI divides the Giant Schnauzer into these varieties, listed in the registry's own words. Depending on the breed they separate colour, coat, size or line — they are not a full list of colours, which no registry we hold publishes. Ask a breeder which variety their line is.
- pepper and salt
- pure black with black undercoat
- black and silver

That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.
