EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1897, showcases CHAMPION HANNIBAL, an impressive Great Dane with cropped ears and a striking brindle coat. The image captures the essence of the fall season with its warm, golden hues and the crisp, cool air that can be felt in the atmosphere. Great Danes are one of the oldest breeds of dogs, with origins dating back to ancient Egypt and Greece. They were originally bred for hunting large game such as boar and deer. CHAMPION HANNIBAL, with his powerful build and muscular physique, embodies the strength and agility of this noble breed. Despite their intimidating appearance, Great Danes are known for their gentle and loving nature. They are loyal companions and make excellent family pets. In the late 19th century, owning a Great Dane was a status symbol, and CHAMPION HANNIBAL, as a champion, would have been a prized possession. The cropped ears of CHAMPION HANNIBAL were a common practice during this time, believed to enhance the dog's appearance and make them look more alert and aggressive. However, this practice is now considered inhumane and is no longer accepted in modern dog shows. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history of the Great Dane breed and the bond between humans and their beloved pets. The brindle coat of CHAMPION HANNIBAL adds to its unique charm and makes it a standout among other Great Danes of the time. The fall foliage in the background adds a touch of warmth and elegance to the image, making it a timeless piece of history.
