5.0 out of 5 stars bulldog book, March 16, 2007

By	Kelley Nolan "Kelley" (USA) - See all my reviews

The cover picture alone would be reason enough to buy this book. The book itself, though, is a very good manual for bulldog owners and has lots of other pictures scattered throughout. A very good purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive overview with lots of color photos, September 29, 2008

By	Lori L. Mattis - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a breeder I look out for bulldog books all the time, and this one is superb. Right from the inside cover (full color diagram of the breed standard) to the inside of the back cover (a really nice touch for first time owners, including a place to put their picture and to keep notes such as vaccination records) this book delivers 100%. Highly recommended for ol'timers like me and new bulldog owners alike!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative for the New/Refresher for the old Bullie Owner, February 21, 2009

By	Crystal Golliday "LovabullDog" (SC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this book to be a nice refresher for an old Bullie owner. The photos are nice and wonderful suggestions. A condensed Bulldog book that hits the main topics and provides helpful ideas for training and more. Includes a short history section providing excellent examples of past Bulldog Champions and the distinctive breeders that helped to develop in the US. I would diffently recommend this book to all interested in the Bulldog breed, especially before the purchase of a puppy.
