In 1985 we imported a p&s coloured Giant Schnauzer bitch Explosives Ilse with the aim of breeding this difficult colour. Because of the small number of p&s Giants around the world, this task hasn’t been easy. We have tried to expand the genetic pole by using sires from abroad from different lines and by importing bitches from Sweden and Germany. We have exported puppies to Sweden, Germany and USA. Our first bitch, EXPLOSIV’S ILSE, who lived with us for almost 14 years. Ilse was very successful in shows, being for instance, Best of Breed 4 in Helsinki International Dog Show 1987. At that time the P&S were judged together with black ones. Nowadays the P&S coloured are judged separately as their own breed.

A few of the dogs, which deserve a special mention are: INT & FIN & EST CH W-93 ESTW-93 ZIMYRS FLASHETTE, which is the first p&s coloured International Beauty Champion in Scandinavia and her brother FIN CH ZIMYRS FAUSTOS, which was awarded by the Finnish Giant Schnauzer Club as the best tracking dog of all Giants in 1995

Other successful p&s Giants are ZIMYRS DALIE in shows and ZIMYRS DEMPSEY as a working dog. ZIMYRS FABIUS has achieved many Best of Breed victories in international shows and in the main show of the Finnish Giant Schnauzers being, for instance, BIS working dog in 1993 in the main show of the Finnish Giant Schnauzers. Fabius has also competed as a working dog and a rescue dog. ZIMYRS FEMINA and ZIMYRS FILEMON of the F-litter competed also as working dogs all the way to the winners’ class. ZIMYRS FAINA was among the other things the P&S winner in the main show of the Finnish Giant Schnauzers in 1995.

Winner-95 ZIMYRS JEMINA, CACIBs and Best of Breed placements like ZIMYRS JEFINI and ZIMYRS JAMBA from the same litter. FIN CH ZIMYRS JOLANDA has competed actively in search and rescue dog trials. ZIMYRS MISTY has succeeded in shows, as a working dog and in agility. The title of the winner of Scandinavia-96 was achieved by the handsome male ZIMYRS MAX,and from the same litter also ZIMYRS MITZI and ZIMYRS MEGGY have done well in shows. Zimyrs Toby and Taiga have been the most successful of the still very young T-litter.

Our last litter, the Y-litter, was born in winter 1999 and some of them have allready started their show carier. We are following their progress with great interest.

At the moment we have a pause in P&S breeding.
