This is my friend's Giant schnauzer puppy. She is one intense girl!

OOOh she is pretty. That is one breed I have tried talking my boyfriend into, but he doesn't like the sound of "Giant" schnauzer. Beautiful pics!!

They are smart, intense, non shedding dogs. About the size of a large lab. They are not laid back though. She is sweet, but needs to be doing something to wear her out. Granted, she is really a very good dog for being under a year old.

Okay-beautiful dog! But why is she doing agility with a large breed dog under 18 months old? She can do serious damage to the growth plates under that age. I don't believe I've ever seen a giant without the cropped ears--and I like them better uncropped!! Rounds out their head nicely!

This is not regulation size equipment and I think she is more playing with her trying to let her burn off some steam. I had her put the jump up for the photo. I asked how high she could jump and her answer was, "I have no idea, we have never really tried".

OK, this is going to sound really dumb, but you have made me sit here and think. I think she is going to be two in July, not one. I just asked my 5 year old daughter who rolled her eyes at me and said she is going to be two Mommy(insert annoyed tone)

I will have to call and ask. Has to be going two vs a year as I was going to buy her a Christmas present last year. I wonder if senility stars in the 30's.

Geez. I really thought she was under a year. Where did last year go?

Hahaha! I hear you! I have a hard time keeping the kid's age straight sometimes-I just bring out the paperwork for the dogs. It's easier than hurting my brain

. That's some nice equipment for playing on!! (I'm jealous! Our yard isn't level enough even if I did have the equipment!)

If you get to see them tell me what they look like. Bah, maybe I'll just sit here and wait. I'm patient...

Mwahahahahaaa, finally

. Great pictures! Just a few days ago I saw a show on TV and they had a pug in agility! Wasn't too bad considering it was a pug.

We watch too many of the same shows, you know that right?

I love schnauzers. I think they are the best of all the breeds. I had a minature schnauzer. Her ears weren't cropped either. She was probably 1 of the best dogs I have ever had as far as tempermant goes.
