The Great Dane Frederick Becker

This special reprint edition of Frederick Becker's 'The Great Dane: The History, Breeding Principles and Present State of the Breed' was the first book ever written on the Great Dane. There was not another one for many years after. First published in 1905, making this book well over a century old, it is written with passion and great knowledge of the breed and is a must for all Great Dane enthusiasts be they pet owners or champion breeders. Chapters cover topics including history of the breed, breeding principles, rearing and feeding, exercising, and standard points. Note: This public domain edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some characters, illustrations and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background. Some images may not appear as crisp as we are used to with digitally-derived images.
