Baker, a 4-year-old, 90-pound Giant Schnauzer is a loving, snuggly, and loyal dog who thrives on companionship. However, he also comes with some reactive tendencies that require an experienced, patient adopter. His current family is heartbroken over the decision to rehome him, but they want to ensure he finds a home that meets his needs.
What You Should Know About Baker
- Affectionate & Loyal – Loves being near his people and enjoys snuggles.
- Knows Basic Commands – Understands “sit,” “paw,” “come,” “drop it,” and “leave it” (though he can be stubborn).
- Good with Small Dogs – Currently lives with a mini Yorkipoo, whom he allows to dominate play.
- House-Trained & Well-Behaved Indoors – Free range at home, sleeps by his owner’s bed, and does well on car rides.
- Needs a Home Without Children – While he has lived with kids, his herding instincts lead to ankle-nipping and leg-grabbing.
- Not Recommended for Homes with Cats – He has no experience with them.
Challenges & Considerations
- Reactive Behavior – Has bitten both his male guardian and a veterinarian under stressful circumstances.
- Food Aggression – Becomes defensive if approached during feeding.
- Grooming Sensitivity – Rejected by a groomer for aggression but has been groomed successfully at home.
- Needs Strong, Consistent Leadership – Best suited for an adopter experienced with strong-willed or working breeds who can provide firm but positive training.
Ideal Home for Baker
- Someone working remotely or home frequently (he’s used to having his person around).
- A patient, experienced adopter who can work on training and behavior management.
- A fenced-in yard or farm where he has space to roam and a structured environment.
- Possibly another small, confident dog to keep him company.
