Giant Schnauzer

This is Clyde, he is a Giant Schnauzer. Linda is dog-sitting Clyde and Micah for the week-end. Their owners are Brian and Julie, Linda and Bruce's, son and daughter-in-law. What a gentle giant this fella is, he is around 150 lbs and is so well behaved.

Micah, in comparison, is your more standard size Schnauzer. They are great pals and it was really fun to watch them play and explore.

He is a nice looking giant but I bet he weighs nearer 100 pounds and even that would be a bit much for a giant.

Who are you desertdreamer? I am just stating what the owners told me of his weight. What a great dog.

desertdreamer- I am the woman in the picture with him. I thnk Sue misheard us when we said he was 150 pounds, but he was sick a couple weeks ago and he now weighs JUST under 140. Yes - that is alot - he is a neutered male and over the top end of the size scale for a giant. He is a beauty and has a nicer disposition than you can ever imagine. Although he is not fat at all - they are trying to knock his weight back to 125-30 as there is some concern for his joints.
Trust me - he is that big and that heavy, I should know!
