A comprehensive guide to Great Dane ownership

We have owned Great Danes for a little over two years and now have four of them. Great Danes are a very special breed, with a sweet, affectionate personality, and great need for interaction with humans. In recent months we joined the Great Dane Mailing List and have learned much more about the breed from the breeders and other owners who contribute to that list regularly. This is how we heard of Jill Swedlow and learned about her book. We wished we had had the book before we bought our first Dane. This book is a clear, concise, and comprehensive introduction to the breed and all the things needed to be successful with them. From history to health care, behavior problems, and techniques for traveling with your dog, this book presents excellent advice. Great Danes are not for everyone! Since they are a giant breed, good behavior and obedience training are a must! Jill Swedlow is a highly respected long-time breeder of Great Danes, and her good sense, experience, and thorough knowledge really show.
