Best Answer

Giant Schnauzers were used, along with German Shepherds, as messenger, guard and police dogs in Germany during and after WWII. They are extremely alert, intelligent and loyal, so they can certainly be trained for protective service.

Are giant schnauzers good with horses?

In the earliest day of the giant schnauzer they worked at farms where they served as supervisors of horse and cart (herdingdogs and protectors of property) . The giant schnauzers used to live with the horses and other animals in the stables so they are generally good with horses and other animals. Of course you can't just put an adult giant schnauzer with a strange horse, but when they grow up together (with caution!) there shouldn't be a problem.

How big is a giant schnauzer?

I used to have a giant schnauzer. She was about 70-80 ish pounds and was the runt of her litter. They are fairly large dogs and can weigh up to and even over 100 pounds and can be around 25-30 inches at the shoulder area. They are extremely powerful dogs, very solidly built but in my history of owning schnauzers, I have never had a fat or even chubby schnauzer. They tend to be lean and muscular. My schnauzer was able to easily reach an average height dining table but a proper sized one would definitely be alb to. They are large dogs but they don't seem so, maybe because they are so solid and not out of proportion, possibly the tail makes them seem smaller? But yeah, they can be big but are the greatest breed ever. Good for active lifestyles, mine have been great with children and very calm animals overall. :)
