do they look like either of these?

miniature schnauzer

or

giant schnauzers

[Plunder Down-Under]

I can just seeing that dog jump up on its back legs, shout "ITS TERRIER TIME" then attack something.

It was on a tv show.

the giant. stayed with a friend that had two for a week. first two days were spent convincing them i was not the bad guy and the next five trying to avoid them. they're cot hogs. i'd go lay down at night and they'd pounce up onto it and nudge me around until i tried to shrink myself into a 2 foot space, or fell right off. i loved it.


thank you for helping me figure it out ^.^

LOL! That reminds me of a child my wife met while couseling elementary kids. this one little boy was telling her about his dog.

boy, "I have this dog and he's a miniature schnauzer. He's tiny and he's a schnauzer. I don't know why they don't call him a tiny schnauzer. So I looked up miniature and found that it really means tiny. So he's really miniature after all and a schnauzer. That's why we call him a miniature schnauzer, because he's miniature and a schnauzer."

Now just imagine that said at high speed.

[Leffy]

kids are great at reiteration at high speeds.

giant schnauzers are pretty cool dogs. the minis (of any breed) are terrors!! Glad to help ya out Leffy! I like to think i know a thing or two about dogs...

Bouvier de Flandres look pretty similar, and are big.



Generally have more hair than a schnauz, though.

[Leffy]

... coulda been that too. their babies were shaved though. something about local terrain and their hair being an evil mix. dunno bout you but in a swamp... i would say hair would be a good thing to have, but they apparently thought less was more.

[Kamn]

Swamp? Isnt that the place with leeches, lots of ticks, and other insects that are dificult to detedt in lots of hair?

[Leffy]

also a place of lotsa moisture and goo you want to have something between it and skin. better when brush and trees grab your fur then straight skin. they had like a quarter inch only which was frequently medicated against bugs and such ickies but not much protection from brambles and the like.
