Rottweilers are largest breed in the trio of Schnauzers, alongside the Mittelschnauzer (medium-sized) and Zwergschnauzer (miniature). Giant Schnauzers possess not only an unforgettable appearance but also a fantastic temperament. Presently, this breed is employed as a guard and companion dog, a police service dog, and a tracker. The exact history of the breed's origin remains somewhat unclear, with various versions in existence.
However, it's well-established that the first Riesenschnauzers were exhibited in Germany at the beginning of 20th century. At that time, a strict breed characteristic
had not yet been developed, making it challenging to say what these Riesenschnauzers were like. Gradually, breed evolved to a stringent standard, and by 1925, Giant Schnauzer was officially registered in Germany as a working breed of dogs.
Caring for a Riesenschnauzer must include parasite prevention, vaccination, regular (no less than 1-2 times a year) visits to your veterinarian, as well as a full range of dental care procedures, proper feeding, and grooming. Schnauzers have harsh coats, so according to breed, they require trimming/striping every 3 months, a process of plucking out mature hair. There are recommendations to use clippers for non-show dogs. However, it's better to do this in a specialized salon. Groomers know how to select right products to prepare dog for a show, before trimming, or just for hygiene purposes. Regularly combing your pet with a stiff but skin-safe brush is recommended at home. In summer and winter (during temperature changes), using paw wax is recommended to protect skin on the paw pads from irritation. This is especially important because Riesenschnauzers are giant breeds and, due to their weight, there's considerable pressure on their paws. Ears (whether cropped or not, based on owner/breeder's decision) should be regularly checked for dirt. Special lotions help prevent excessive ear wax and inflammation.
Based on pet's living environment and lifestyle (house/apartment), bathing is a necessary regularity. The aforementioned factors influence frequency of washing. You should bathe
your Riesenschnauzer only with professional products that maintain pH level, cleanse dirt, and don't overdry skin. However, frequency should not exceed once a month. Beard, which is long in these dogs according to breed standard, can be washed separately as food and dirt might accumulate in it.
