Temperament of the Giant Bolonauzer
|
The Giant Bolonauzer will have a combination of Bolognese and Giant Schnauzer temperaments and personalities. The Bolognese is a cheerful, gentle and friendly companion. It loves play and daily walks, but is not a very energetic dog. If properly socialized, the Bolognese enjoys making new friends with people and other dogs. The breed is not a big barker and has no yapping voice. The Bolognese suffers from separation anxiety. It does not do well to be left alone for long periods. The Giant Schnauzer is a dominant, strong-willed breed. Early socialization with strangers and other dogs is imperative. Early obedience training is highly recommended. The breed tends to be territorial and aggressive towards dogs. It is a loyal and affectionate companion to its family. The Giant Schnauzer is an energetic breed, requiring daily exercise. A bored Giant Schnauzer can become destructive in the household. Your Giant Bolonauzer will need direction to thrive in its family role, kind and well-meaning, a leadership role from its owner is what it needs. |
Needs and activities of the Giant Bolonauzer
|
The Giant Bolonauzer will enjoy long daily walks. A fenced yard is essential with this breed; an apartment simply won't do. It has a lot of energy and needs plenty of time outdoors where it can let off steam. Trips to the dog park can be managed if you've been working with your Giant Bolonauzer to perfect his social skills. He may enjoy obedience trials. This activity may be just what he needs to use his intelligence, while working on his listening skills. |
Maintenance of the Giant Bolonauzer
|
The Giant Bolonauzer's coat can be medium to long, wavy or stiff. The coat should be brushed with a pincushion brush and carefully combed to avoid matting and tangles. If his coat is stiff, he may need to be stripped every 6 months. Trimming with scissors will be necessary to keep the hair away from the eyes, and if there's a beard or eyebrows, these will need trimming too. As with all hybrids, tooth care is important. Daily brushing, or at least three times a week, is essential to prevent decay and pain. Your hybrid's nails should not be neglected, as nail tears and breaks can lead to infection. |
