Crufts Best in Show 2008- Giant Schnauzer

Best in Show at Crufts 2008 was taken by The Giant Schnauzer CH Jafrak Phillipe Olivier owned by Mr and Mrs K Cullen. This Giant Schnauzer is a seasoned dog pro having won Crufts three times!

What better than to post a blog about the Giant Schnauzer breed? They’re popularity is sure to soar following Phillipe’s win.

The Giant Schnauzer hails from Germany. In the 19th century, a Great Dane was crossed with a Standard Schnauzer to create a rough haired, large, herding cattle dog. The Giant Schnauzer was born!

This breed has devoted fans. His good nature, loyalty and devotion to guarding his owners is what people love about the Giant Schnauzer.

Standing up to 70 cm tall, this muscular dog breed needs plenty of exercise. These are quick, intelligent dogs. This was utilized in World War I and World War II when they put to work contributing to the war effort.

The Giant Schnauzer will not be the best dog breed for everyone. They are lively, active and need a lot of space. If this sounds like your home, maybe you could choose a Giant Schnauzer!

Pictures of Crufts coming soon...
