Featured Famous Giant Schnauzer Dog

Tyr

Tyr has a different look than your regular police dog, which is usually the typical German Shepherd. For one, he has a shaggy snout and carries an air of excitement about him. But when he is on the job as a member of the Saskatoon police canine unit, he is all business and is a total professional. He is the first Giant Schnauzer to become a fully fledged member of the esteemed patrol dog roster in Canada. Due to the high demand for police dogs and price hikes for the German Shepherd after the Sept 11 terror attacks, the force has had to consider other breeds.

Chad Malanowich says he started investigating the Giant Schnauzer after his German Shepherd partner was diagnosed with medical conditions. The Giant Schnauzer has been used as a police dog very successfully overseas for many years. In Canada, Tyr can outpace a German Shepherd on the run in most instances, and with his shaggy thick coat is well suited to colder regions. Tyr is five years old now, and came to Chad as a puppy.

The special bond they share is unique. They live, work and play together both at home and on the job. Tyr gained his acceptance into the canine training program in Sept 2012. Chad and Tyr depend on each other in many hostile or difficult situations, and they have a tremendous bond of friendship. Tyr is the first of the breed in Canada in this line of work, but won't be the last. He has led the way to introducing this loyal, devoted and very intelligent breed to the police force. Other officers are now seriously looking at the breed. Tyr is a typical working dog, just happy to be with his master and to be working as a team.

Giant Schnauzer Dog Name Considerations

When considering a tag for your gentle Giant Schnauzer, try to get a name that really defines your dog's character. A large, hairy dog like yours may suit the name Beast, whereas the name would sound weird on a Chihuahua. Unless of course, you like the humor of that name on a small dog! Let's get back to big dogs, shall we? Is your German Schnauzer a colossal bundle of pent-up energy that suits the name Nitro? Perhaps they are shy and conservative and would be better with a name like Bella, Velvet or Shadow. Don't rush into choosing a name, even if it means your Giant Schnauzer has no name for a day or two. Make sure you like the name and can live with it, before bestowing your new friend with their own forever name. There are many titles to choose from, but something simple, easy to say, and one that is easy for your dog to recognize is always the best. Being of German origin, consider Karl or Klaus for a male Giant Schnauzer or Ada for a girl.
