Book Description
The ancient land of Greece is said to be the home of the bree now known as the Great Dane. These tall, elegant dogs, alert and strong with short, smooth coats were powerful allies of their human hunting companions. In Rome, Roman emperors watched Giant Fighting Hounds fight bears and bulls and even tigers. But the breed as we know it today was developed largely in Germany where the breed landed when the Romans established a foothold there. The British also developed the dog from the time of the Roman conquest. In Winchester, then known as the "City of Dogs," the finest specimens were shipped back to the Emperor in Rome. The steady popularity of the breed continued throughout the Middle Ages and by the late 1800's there were major breeders in England, Germany and Russia. To learn more about the Great Dane, if the breed is right for you and where to locate a breeder look in "The Basic Guide to the Great Dane."
