History
The standard schnauzer was developed in the area east of the Rhine River in Europe (today called Germany) around the 14th century or possibly even earlier. It was a great guard dog and was also used for herding and hunting vermin.The miniature schnauzer was developed in the late 1800s by breeding the standard schnauzer with the smaller German affenpinscher. The miniature schnauzer is a farm/house dog and was bred for hunting rats (also called ratting) around the house and barn.
The giant schnauzer was developed later in the southern Bavaria area. Standard schnauzers were possibly bred with black great Danes, local cattle sheep dogs, bouvier des Flanders, and/or even the Doberman pinschers or Rottweilers. Giant schnauzers' primary purpose was to drive cattle.
Later, the standard schnauzer became a popular dog for guarding the farmer's carts at marketplace. They were even used as dispatch carriers and aides in World War I. The standard and giant schnauzer were sometimes used as police dogs. The giant schnauzer was also used by butchers and breweries for guarding.
