NATIONAL VELVET A GIANT SCHNAUZER STORY 

Our giant is amazing, friendly, and very protective as stated in the video. She has great intuition about people and their character. If your sketchy and look sketchy she will let us know, if not she has not issues walking up to you and letting you pet her. When my wife got pregnant she became even more protective of her and rarely left her side. Going to the dog park if my wife goes outside the park to change my sons diaper our giant stops playing follows her, sits at the fence and watches her until my wife comes back then continues to play. None of that was trained or taught just pure instinct. Biggest bark I have ever heard from a dog. She takes a beating from our toddler and never nips nor barks at him. Perfect breed for a family companion and protector.

I’ve had my giant Greg from Sylvia’s kennel coming up on a year. I never knew a dog could be so stubborn and moody, yet so loving and affectionate. I have heard them described as velcro dogs and the description is spot on. Where you go, your dog will follow.

Our first giant "Sugus" was a wonderful dog, great guard dog he lived with us in Alaska for 8 years, his last year was in Spain and when he passed it was some of the most difficult times we have had, after a year we decided to get another Giant "Buddy", certainly he is my best friend and I would not know what to do without him... giants are really special

Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your beauties life Sylvia gave me a wonderful 5.5 year old standard girl 2.5 years ago and she defies superlatives. She is now well into retirement and is smart/beautiful and outrageously affectionate. Everything I give her is given back then fold. I thank Sylvia for sending this precious little creature off to Canada.

I could not agree more. I got my Giant Schnauzer from Skansen as well and she is gorgeous! She has the biggest heart and fit right in to our family. We look forward to many more years with her building awesome memories. Giant Schnauzers are beautiful inside and out.

Thank you, I needed to hear that about the Giant Schnauzer.

This is a short form of the breed. Never seen such a short and bulky Giant. A breed standard correct GS has a square build. The dog she started going to shows with seems more correct to the standard. We got our Odin 4 months ago. He’s 6 months old atm. I love him to bits and wouldn’t want to live without him anymore. He’s a challenge to train and learn to behave but gives so much back with his character, strong will and loving kindness (if he’s in the mood 🤣) Advice for people that are interested in one: get your shit together, lead a stable life, invest time in him/her on a daily basis and last but not least, stand your ground physically but especially emotionally.

We have had 5 dogs from Skansen: 3 giants and 2 standards. Great breed. Great breeder!

PLEASE do a dogumentary on Standard Poodles, love your videos SO much :)

We just purchased a pup of this breed, we pick her up on November. I’ve done endless research on this breed, just researching the dog made me fall in love with them. Thank you, nice video

Please make a special on service dogs! I'd love to learn about these heroic animals!

Sylvia's dogs are something else!

I have had two mini's, I now have the giant salt and pepper from Sylvia at Skansen Kennels, my research turned out she had the best. My girl is almost 3, she is the joy of my life, we are always together ❤ April

I'm on Sylvia's waiting list for a spring puppy now. Starting to get excited.

I have a mini and he’s the best dog ever.

Great video this breed is high in my list and I will have one eventually that's a guarantee

My dads friend is a K9 officer and he has one never knew they used them till he told me

Roscoe helping with the dogumentaries hurrah

Sweet dog! I still miss our standard schnauzer who left us this February .... Lovely rott too, still remember the one we had once.

I love them. They don't look threatening but they will defend just as well as a German Shepherd.

The essence of this breed is not in external beauty !?! From the beginning, the Giant Schnauzer is a secret working breed of war! From the beginning it was "iron-breed for special purposes! Many years ago I worked with such dogs. There are archive videos). Nowadays it has been turned into a show breed in many ways. In general, an incredibly interesting breed, not deservedly relegated to the background!

OUR SCHUNAUZER IS GREAT BUT OUR ROTTWEILER IS THE BEST !!DANKE !!

Amazing Dog 🌍✌🏾🐸

I wish she had mentioned if they are a low/med/high energy breed, do they shed throughout the year, if their coat is high maintenance, do they require a lot of mental and physical stimulation, etc...

Giants have always been interesting to me glad to see a good video. Also wanted to note you have never done one on greater Swiss mountain dog's.

Great video! would love a video of some working line schnauzers.

You must have gotten one of the first white schnauzers from Skansen....we have a 12 yo black mini. He's got a very balanced personality but not sure introducing another new pup to the family...

My first two Standards were from Skansen.

Excellent - I have an Australian Kelpie (there's an interesting breed) and a Border Collie, in Australia - fascinating companions. Thanks for this.

Do you ever see salt and pepper Giants?

I like them but I just love amstaffs so much

i wishd id had dog like that

I WISHD ID HAD GIANT SCVHNAUZER

So why do you prefer them over black Russian terrier or bouvier?

Can you do a video on standard schnauzers?

Greater swiss mountain dog

A DNA study found that Rottweilers and Giant Schnauzers are sister breeds. Giant schnauzers are more closely related to Rottweilers than to mini and standard schnauzers.

My step mom dad has a minture schnutzer he a amazing dog but i never seen one big one in person

Can you do a video on the blue bay shepherd please

Do one one Greater Swiss Mountain dog please

I noticed the tails are docked. Are the ears cut also?

Love this Chanel👍🏾 you should do on bandog

I WISHD ID HAD 6 GIANT SCHNAUZERS

She kept saying guard dog lol

I need to know something, I heard that giant schnauzers bark way too much outside, is this true?

Bernese mountain dogs next ¿ ? ¿ ?

i wishd id had 6 giant schnauzers

Like watching your videos bro very informative. wondering if you can help me out bro?? are there any real game kennels here in California??

But what is National Velvet?

can you make one on the standard schnauzer

настоящие ризеншнауцеры! со стоящими ушами, сейчас запретили купировать уши и хвост и собаки стали выглядеть смешно

Are the ears natural?

This is going to sound weird but her voice is very soothing ahaha

Not a giant but its definitely medium.

I’m indecisive about what dog breed I should get next, a Giant Schnauzer or a Bloodhound?

Hey, I’m new to this channel, and I’m picking up a French Mastiff in a few weeks. Would you mind making a dog training videos with a french mastiff? I’ve watched your others, and would like to see one with a french mastiff. Thanks, and I’ll see you later.

Perché nessuno parla del medio tutti del gigante e del piccolo ma il medio è l'origine ed è il migliore su tutti i livelli

Leave the ears alone.

Daniel I never liked Rottweiler, good dogs but something about them I didn't like. Evidently I am not alone as they are banned in a lot of areas like pits

I would never crop my schnauzers ears.... it's pretty mean

Looks small for a giant.

That's a short G S

Perhaps it's because she's overweight but she looks short to me no?
