A great book for the Beginner,
By A Customer
This review is from: The American Pit Bull Terrier: An Owner's Guideto aHappy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)
This book, i felt is the best book for the person thinking of getting an APBT it outlines proper care and grooming of these dogs and the fulfillment that can be achieved by taking proper care of your wonderful pets, my only problem was that it didnt outline the temperaments that some of these dogs posess and dangers associated with a dangerous untrained animal. Jacqueline O' Neil did an otherwise excellent job.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The American Pit Bull Terrier: An Owner's Guideto aHappy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)
This book has a very good section about the human in the pit bull relationship- who that person or persons ought to be- and if the pit could pick his own best owner who would that be. This book is one of a series that tend to be too general for me, however I believe that people do buy the series and I am pleased that the personality of a pit- the loving nature of this breed and their loyal obedience to their humans is described well. I wish people interested in pits would research ahead of time; however I am also pleased that a book such as this one does have pertinent info about the pit and what makes them good pets and what about them makes them not suitable for some. And my feeling is that they are suitable for many types of people- but certainly not people who want them to be an extention of their 'power' in this world.
