3.0 out of 5 stars A good book but not what it proposes to be, November 12, 2001

By	Amy M. Sheflin (Lafayette, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I think this is an excellent book for an overview of Great Danes and the considerations in deciding to own one. Making the decision to get a giant breed is a big one and this book is great for considering all that comes along with that. I would say it's better for people to read BEFORE deciding whether to buy a Great Dane to prepare and make sure you're up for all that's involved, but as far as a complete book for a Great Dane owner, I would recommend getting a book that has more specifics on the various topics rather than just an overview. This is NOT a one and only book for the Great Dane owner.

3.0 out of 5 stars Informative and a quick read, October 4, 1999

By A Customer

A good, easy to read overview of the Great Dane. Enjoyed it. Helped me prepare for being a first time Dane owner, and left me with a very good idea of what to expect.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad but..., July 6, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Idaho) - See all my reviews

This was pretty good and i will use it as a reference, but i was a little frustrated with the book. Throughout almost the entire middle section instead of answering very important questions on the topic of the chapter, he would just say "check with your great dane mentor for information on...." - feeding, bloat, purchasing, etc, etc etc. I got this book to get this guys opinion not for him to tell me to check with someone else. I did think that the sections on training were good.
