5. Giant Schnauzer

These canines originate from Germany, where they were used as work dogs, usually herding animals like sheep and goats. They have a striking silhouette that you can immediately recognize and a self-assured demeanor.

But even if they look serious at first glance, they are as playful and happy as any other puppy. They are extremely lovable around their family and like to spend time with their owners. They can be reticent when meeting strangers. That’s why training is important. If socialized early, your dog won’t have problems or become aggressive around other dogs or people that it doesn’t know.

Since the Giant Schnauzer is a double-coated dog, it won’t shed and also won’t produce too much dander. If you know that you suffer from allergies, this breed can be a good choice for you.
