5.0 out of 5 stars Knowing the Man Loving the book, May 10, 2000
This review is from: Colby's Book of the American Pit Bull Terrier (Hardcover)
I've owned many Pitbulls in my time, All were great dogs but I did'nt know much about my own dogs back ground. I've recently recieved a puppy from Louis Colby and i'm very glad that I did. Having the book shows me what kind of History my dog has. I knew alot about the breed before I got the book but not as much as I know now. The book goes into great detail of how the breed has come along in all these years. It also puts the debate of the Amstaff and the APBT being to different dogs to rest. This book does cover lots of dog fighting history,keep in mind that 100 years ago dog fighting was acceptable and a common practice. I only live about 15 minutes away from Louis and I have gone out to his house many of times, each time I go we talk about the "New" sporting of these great animals "Weight pulling". So please dont think that Louis only promotes dog fighting,he doesn'nt,he appreciates them as they are and he really enjoys going to the pull contests, he much like me will never deny the dogs history. If your a history buff like I am this book is a must have for your collection and who knows...you might find a decendant of your dog in his book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Telling It As It Is, January 5, 2000
By 
Chris W. (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Colby's Book of the American Pit Bull Terrier (Hardcover)
I am the proud owner of a pure Colby APBT. So, first I would like to thank the Colby family (even beyond JP) for keeping such accurate records of their history. Few breeds have as rich a history as the APBT. And even fewer bloodlines have records that are as accurate as the Colby bloodlines are. Thus, this book is very special in that it tells the history of a very wonderful breed of dog that is too commonly misunderstood. And completely reports the history of the Colby dogs which are undoubtedly the most influential dogs in the breed. For anyone interested in truly grasping the truth behind the APBT for themselves, this book is a must have. It is a keeper that any APBT fancier should have in their library.

5.0 out of 5 stars For The History Lover - A Real Find., December 19, 1999
This review is from: Colby's Book of the American Pit Bull Terrier (Hardcover)
Louis Colby and Diane Jessup did a great job with this, and many thanks are due to them for bringing this wonderful information public. I think many people interested in this breed enjoy the history aspect, and this book will more than please you if that is your interest. Lots of pictures of dogs from the past. Of special interest: one can see how little the true pit bull has changed over the past 100+ years, unlike breeds which are ruined by the show ring.
