The following educational material was posted on line by the authors for the public's free viewing. For the same reason the material is linked to or presented herewith again strictly for public viewing without any commercial use.
They were written by reputable and caring breeders (very few of those are around) and some articles here are combined selected parts of several write-ups by several breeders or authors, one of whom is Paul Gouda of BC, Canada, at Anubis Great Danes who personally and directly wrote over 99% of all the material posted on this site (there are a few videos shot by other, such as those posted on the how smart is my Dane page). We selected the parts that we felt are needed most and avoided when possible the use of unnecessary extra lengthy presentations.
Those breeders submitted this material out of genuine care to educate the public and out of love for the breed with no self-interest in any commercial aspect obviously (having made it available on line to anyone). Otherwise, copyright practice prohibits any commercial use. And by the way, the material that I personally wrote have been quoted and posted by others, and you're welcome to utilizing them for any on-line free public education.
If you need more material, I can direct you to more sites (similar material are all-over the net, including free full ebooks and videos). In fact some of the material I selected and presented are some form of re-production of older books and literature produced years ago (I collected a large selection of Dane literature produced over decades and some of the recently produced books, ebooks and articles are mere re-wording!)
The material presented however are good material by good breeders and I certainly didn't want to present older printed material that would require retyping instead of copy& paste or link-to! The only significant typing I done was the material I wrote myself.
And, the Anubis Great Dane breeder, Paul Gouda, will be introducing a comprehensive 10 hours video on all aspects of raising a Dane - from birth to giving birth, including the selected topics addressed here - but with live and visual presentation; and it will be available on line free, no restrictions.
The attached files are written in Microsoft Word (.doc) format or Acrobat Reader (.pdf) format; and the videos are in flash (.flv) format.
If your browser asks for which programme to open with; for .doc documents choose Microsoft Word (I believe I converted them all to adobe acrobat .pdf). For .pdf files choose Acrobat reader which - if you don't have, you can download it for free on line. {HERE is a free link - just click here} and for the flash videos choose any flash video programme you have such as Real-Player (again available on line for free) or Click HERE for a link to a free real player download
Under construction, in part!
a lot more material will be posted soon.

This 5000 years old Egyptian drawing shows the 4 ancient Egyptian dogs including the one that was known as the Pharaoh's dog (highlighted with a green frame) which is the origin of the gray hound and perhaps the oldest drwaing of the dog we now call Great Dane.
