It is thought to be result of crossbreeding between the oblanders, the Standard Schnauzer, the Great Dane and the Bouvier De Flandres. In the olden days, the breed was primarily used for driving cattle and as a guard dog during the First World War. However, like most breeds, the Giant Schnauzer was on the verge of extinction after the First World War. The breed was resurrected by Mr. Clalaminus through a dedicated breeding program. The breed was first recognized by the AKC in 1930. |
