Tips for choosing a Quality Breeder

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter, the cast offs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear, dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry. "God, " I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?" God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly. "I have done something," he replied. "I created You."

Humane society of the United States Breeder Complaint form


Nothing changes until it is spoken about. We have to be outraged to effect changes in our breed so that those breeding irresponsibly will not be allowed to continue as they are. Thus, one of the purposes of this site.

Welcome! G.I.A.N.T. Schnauzer Rescue Network (GSRN) is the brainchild of many GS owners around the country whose desire is to be of assistance with picking up dogs from shelters, vetting, foster care, drive networking, etc.. We are also here to help breeders with screening potential new puppy owners if they are out of their breeder's area, help new giant owners with questions, and be mentors to new GS owners or those who are seeking responsible/reputable breeders to purchase their first Giant from AND to help and support each other.

If you need help with any of the above click on a state below and find a volunteer to help you. No one is paid to do rescue. We are all volunteers and do the best we can. Rescue does not happen overnight and rehoming your Giant should be your responsibility as owner because no one knows your Giant as well as you do. We can give you suggestions and tell you what we do so that you can find a suitable match for your giant if you are giving your dog up, but we cannot do it for you.
