Reading on the bus - that was excellent! Sometimes my partner says he'd like a Giant and I always object by running through some of the points raised in this article but I will be asking him to read this just to nip it in the bud. After all he's not a member of this forum and has an unrealistic idea about them.

He'd never seriously suggest it but even as an idea it just exhausts me to explain - if that makes sense? Thank you.

Good idea to put it over here to educate people.
It is a brilliant and informative article, but then again, Outi is from Finland... (sleazy)

This article is very useful for beginners who're considering getting a Giant Schnauzer. It's a very informative article.
