The giant schnauzer is a dog originally developed in Germany and because of their high training ability, they were used as police dogs. The first Giant Schnauzers were used as working dogs who helped the farmers with their herds. Some Schnauzers were used as guard dogs when the brew masters retired at home for the evening. They have a large build, long hair and are seen black or salt and pepper.http://www.akc.org/breeds/giant_schnauzer/
