A nice historical review of the American Pitbull Terrier.,
By
This review is from: Memories Of The Pit Bull Terrier And His Master (History Of Fighting Dogs Series) (Paperback)
What a great way to put such a great representation of this breed by having bobtail bob right on the front cover! I do not condone dog fighting, however that is part of this American breeds history! And that is where it remains, but its crucial information that we as owners should never forget....believe it or not, but if you actually know your dogs history, human agression was discouraged back then, it was a liability (considering there was no health insurance back then) these old time dogmen bred these dogs to have stable strong temperaments, not these weak unsound dogs that are being bred today. Educate yourself first before casting judgement on an entire breed of dog.

Historical Book on the American Pit Bull Terrier,
By
This review is from: Memories Of The Pit Bull Terrier And His Master (History Of Fighting Dogs Series) (Paperback)
This book is a collector's item for those who have studied the antecedents of the modern day American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and the American Pit Bull Terrier. Our society has changed significantly from those early days. Back then, dog fighting was considered a legitimate "sport". In fact, popular dog fighting rules were called: "The Police Gazette Rules".
This is a valuable part of American History and is now a part of my APBT literature collection. Those who love this breed should ignore the self-righteous comments of those who would like to legislate what we should and should not read. Barney Fife's Brother
