So, you think you want a Great Dane. You’ve seen the Instagram photos: majestic giants lounging on couches, draped in toddler hugs, the picture of calm nobility. You’ve heard the nickname "Gentle Giant" and thought, how bad could it be? Well, buckle up, because you’re about to find out. Great Dane Insights isn’t another sunshine-and-slobber dog book. It’s the brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, painfully true guide to life with one of the most breathtaking—and backbreaking—breeds on Earth. Written by a dog professional with over twenty years in training, rescue, and veterinary work, this book doesn’t sugarcoat a thing. When a creature the size of a small horse moves into your house, reality hits fast. Inside these pages, you’ll get the truth no breeder brochure or online forum will tell you: why "gentle" doesn’t mean easy and what your furniture is about to suffer; how genetics, bloat, and heartbreak turn ownership into a race against time and vet bills; why your 150-pound dog thinks he’s a baby and cries when you leave; the financial apocalypse of feeding and housing a dog who eats like a linebacker; how to set boundaries before your dog learns to body-slam you for fun; why so many Danes end up in rescue and how to be the human who doesn’t quit when it gets hard; and the painful reality of loving a giant who burns twice as bright and half as long. Every chapter blends sarcasm, science, and the kind of insight only earned after decades in the trenches of real-world dog ownership. You’ll laugh, cringe, and probably start measuring your doorways. And by the end, you’ll know—truly know—if you’re ready for a Dane, or if you just like the idea of one. This isn’t just a breed book; it’s a survival manual. It’s the guide that saves owners from heartbreak, dogs from bad matches, and wallets from spontaneous combustion. Whether you’re a first-time owner, a seasoned dog pro, or someone already living with a drool volcano disguised as a pet, this book delivers the full, uncensored truth about what it takes to love—and survive—a Great Dane. Because here’s the thing about these dogs: they’ll destroy your couch, test your patience, and drain your savings, and then they’ll rest their head in your lap and remind you why you’d do it all again. If you’re ready for 150 pounds of devotion, destruction, and drool, this is your warning label and your roadmap. Perfect for readers of dog breed guides that don’t lie, real-life dog owners, fans of Woof-a-Pedia: The Brutally Honest Dog Breed Guide, and anyone brave (or foolish) enough to think, "I want a big dog." You’ll learn real Dane behavior and emotional needs without sugarcoating; the true cost of ownership from vet care to sanity; training strategies that actually work on giant breeds; critical health issues every owner must prepare for; and how to avoid the heartbreak of bad breeding and worse advice. Zero Woofs Given Press delivers the dog books no one else will write—sarcastic, smart, unfiltered, and grounded in truth. Because owning a Great Dane isn’t a lifestyle. It’s a full-time relationship with chaos, comedy, and love the size of a small SUV. If you’re still reading this, you’ve already made up your mind. Just remember: this isn’t a dog. It’s a life choice.
Autorenporträt
Zero Woofs Given Press was born out of one sarcastic human's lifelong gripe with the sugarcoated nonsense you find in most dog books. Founded by Shannon - a snarky, lifelong dog devotee, former vet tech of 12+ years, and proud Rottweiler mom to Rowan and Rip - this little operation rolls across the West Coast in a camper stuffed with dog hair, coffee mugs, and the occasional muddy paw print on the dashboard.After two decades in the dog world doing just about everything (and watching far too many pups land in shelters thanks to clueless "owners"), Shannon decided enough was enough. Zero Woofs Given is her mission to call B.S. on the cutesy breed fairy tales and tell you the truth: which dogs will steal your bed, eat your drywall, ignore your kids, or blow your savings on vet bills - all so fewer dogs end up dumped when reality smacks people in the face.Right now, she's laser-focused on purebreds, but the so-called "designer dogs" are next on her list (brace yourself, doodle fans). Through every brutally honest page, Shannon hopes you'll find the gut-level guidance you actually need to pick the right dog for your real life - and maybe feel like you've met a kindred spirit who's fluent in sarcasm as a love language.If you're hunting for fluff, platitudes, or promises that every breed is "perfect for kids," keep walking. But if you want the messy, hilarious, sometimes uncomfortable truth - served with a wink and a Rottie side-eye - welcome home.
