I saw one and learned them to be great protectors, smart, playful and they dont shed...
also their bite is only second to the Pit Bull...no wonder Germany uses them as police dogs!

I like the shaggy natural ears look.

a college buddy's parents used to raise giant schnauzers, and they were great dogs- lots of heart and personality!
