This review is from: Great Dane: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)

Basic history and breed info is OK, but a disappointing proportion of the book covers general dog information (i.e. training) instead of looking at the specific issues faced when teaching a great dane. I already own general dog books thus I was looking for a manual which covered more dane-centric issues.

This book has some basic and very general knowledge. I was a bit dissappointed, and had hoped it would give me a more complete picture of the Great Dane breed
