Giant Schnauzer

Giant Schnauzers are built like bouncers and have the temperament of a paranoid bodyguard. They’ll follow you from room to room, suspicious of strangers, and require actual work or they’ll invent problems to solve. Stubborn, intense, and weirdly funny, they’re not a dog that tolerates being ignored.
