The Great Dane is the giant Apollo of dogs, a German boarhound of noble bearing and gentle temperament. In Great Danes of Today, Beryl Lee Booker sets down what every owner and breeder should know of the breed.
First published in 1930, Beryl Lee Booker's account sets the Great Dane's history and origins alongside guidance on its points and standard, its character, and the everyday work of rearing, feeding and preparing a dog for the show ring.
Long scarce in its original edition, it returns here in a faithful modern reprint for Great Dane owners, breeders and breed historians.
This edition features:
- Traces the origins and history of the Great Dane.
- Sets out the breed's points, character and show standard.
- Practical notes on rearing, feeding, breeding and management.
- Restored from the original text and illustrations.
