5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Worthwhile Read, January 1, 2004

This review is from: The World of the American Pit Bull Terrier (Hardcover)

Although I do agree that Stratton can be a little biased in his exaltation of the breed, I do say that this book is something those wishing to acquire a wealth of Pit Bull knowledge should read. It really is a good book, like Stratton's three other American Pit Bull Terrier books, and is something I enjoyed to read.

Get this book if you like a good read!!

I not only reccomend this book to you but I reccomend Stratton's books "This is the American Pit Bull Terrier" , "The Book of the American Pit Bull Terrier" and "The Truth About the American Pit Bull Terrier"

1.0 out of 5 stars Love of fighting, not love of the breed., January 16, 2001

This review is from: The World of the American Pit Bull Terrier (Hardcover)

I thought this book would be in support of and for the breed. Instead I found the author completely in favor of, and promoting fighting. It is book's just like this that give pit bull's a bad rap. TRUE lovers of the breed know their genuine potential as an incredibly affectionate and loving dog. My pit bull is so gentle and cuddly. Working in a vet clinic, I often see the results of accidental fights. NEVER would someone intentionally expose somthing they "love" to this situation. They never have and never will appreciate this dog. They love the way their ego's feel watching two dogs rip each other apart. It is disgusting. If people succeed in outlawing this breed, it will be with the help of book's like this. Once again, this book is about what people have made the breed. Not the breed itself. What a waste.
