Lan T. Dam (ma.usa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fighting Dog Breeds (Hardcover)

dr.fleig should have done more research before writing.Theres no proof that molossers started in tibet .its simply re- written material.Non functional sour mugs are presented as bulldogs."Billy"the champ from the rat pits wasnt a bull terrier either,he was a manchester terrier.The french bulldog and pug should not even be in the book.Dr. fleig should stick to writing about what he knows,AKC show dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Welcome Relief From The Usual Book Of This Type!, December 1, 1999

Diane Jessup - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fighting Dog Breeds (Hardcover)

Wow, a scholarly book on a subject too often represented in a rather low-brow fashion. The author states his facts and opinions clearly, consistantly and for the most part fairly. (Every once in a while he gets a little defensive about the English national character, but as a German, I guess that is forgivable!) Really nice photos round this wonderful book out. Get it and enjoy it.

Diane Jessup, author: The Working Pit Bull and Colby's Book of the American Pit Bull Terrier.

Laura Brown - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fighting Dog Breeds (Hardcover)

Excellent book for the most uneducated people who take pleasure in animal cruelty. Maybe Amazon will start selling child porn next- that will be a good accompaniment to these types of books. I am no longer a customer of Amazon.
