[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like a delightfully weird dog that is smart, playful, and enjoys hopping like a bunny. I wonder why there aren’t a lot of schnauzers around, at least in my neighborhood.  Are there downsides to the breed in general?[/quote]
It's working protective dog, intelligent, but a bit stubborn 
In general, I don't see a lot of protective dogs in US, I guess because they are viewed as liability (rightfully so). How often do you see dobermans or rottweilers, cane Corso or even German shepherds? Giant schnauzers are in the same group - large powerful guard dog.

They're...tough dogs, especially the giant schnauzers, and can be pretty scary in the wrong hands.theyre very protective, which can turn aggressive quickly, and they don't have the working dog mentality something like a Shepherd to make them a bit more biddable. I'm not surprised we don't see more because they're definitely advanced level in terms of ownership and can go bad quickly. I do think they're gorgeous but I've trained (many!) Large dogs including Shepherds, Dobies, and a Corso and a giant Schnauzer would give me pause...[/quote]
