FOR ALL THINGS “GREAT DANE”

* YOUR BREED COUNCIL (BC) is made up of the 9 UK Breed Clubs who provide delegates for its meetings.

* Attendance at the BC AGM is open to all Breed Clubs fully paid up members

* A Judges List is maintained by the BC and the List/Criteria have now been adopted by the member Clubs

* A Health Day for the Breed is held every 2 years

* A Hereditary Register is maintained by the Health Co-ordinator
