The Great Dane - Embodying a Full Exposition of the History, Breeding Principles , Education, and Present State of the Breed (A Vintage Dog Books Breed Classic)

About this book

Noble, powerful, and famously gentle, the mighty Great Dane is the Apollo of dogs. Frederick Becker's study - reputedly the first English book devoted to the breed - remains a classic account of its history and its making.

First published in 1905, The Great Dane by Frederick Becker gives a full exposition of the breed's history, its breeding principles and points, and its state in his day. Practical chapters on rearing, feeding, and exercise sit alongside the standard of points, making it both a historical landmark and a working guide to the German boarhound.

This edition features:

  • Reputedly the first English book devoted to the breed
  • The breed's history, breeding principles, and points
  • Practical rearing, feeding, and exercise, with the standard
