4.0 out of 5 stars Good But Would Have Liked More Color Pictures, March 16, 1999
By A Customer
Unlike so many breed books that present every breed as being the best and don't mention possible adversities, this book addresses the highlights and not-so-highlights of the breed. I really liked this.

Comparable to other breed books, this one describes in detail the breed description for showing, as well as how to showing, breed, and train an Amstaff.

The information is presented in an eye-pleasing manner, and is useful, such as what to do if your Amstaff is in a car accident or becomes involved in a fight with another dog. But it really didn't have the information I expected it to by its title.

I was disappointed by the lack of color pictures. The book had a lot of really great pictures, but over 95% of them are black and white. In fact, only the cover and a few pages toward the end of the book are in color. Which is too bad. I would have paid more for more color pictures.

Overall, it was a good book on a favorite breed.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book indeed, captures the essence of the Amstaff!, March 11, 1999
By 
Sarah Foster's hands on knowledge of the breed has enabled her to write one of the best books I have read about this wonderful breed. This book is not about the general pablum one reads in many of the books about this breed, but it is about the history, breeding programs, and the multi-faceted personality and purpose of this wonderful breed. Ms. Foster has done her homework well and given to all Amstaff breeders and lovers a well rounded picture of the breed. Thank you Sarah!
