5.0 out of 5 stars Very Comprehensive, February 22, 2000
By A Customer
This book is a Bulldog Bible! I bought this before I adopted my beautiful Bella and I am glad I did. This is the complete history of the bulldog, along with grooming tips, their habits/traits, common health problems - absolutely everything you wanted to know about them. Its full of adorable pictures too! I would recommend anyone thinking about buying a bully to get this book and keep handy for reference!

2.0 out of 5 stars Depends on what you're looking for, July 11, 2001
By A Customer
This book is excellent if you mostly want a coffee table book about show dogs and the "elite" owners and breeders. The history is interesting and many of the pictures delightful.

For the average owner who wants advice and information for raising and caring for the average bulldog, the book is minimally helpful, in my opinion. No more than a third of the book contains any practical advice at all, and most of that has to do with show dogs. At most, parts of four or five of the eighteen chapters contain advice useful for ordinary owners--and some of that, like the advice on nutrition, seems woefully dated, while a fair bit has nothing to do with bulldogs in particular and amounts to common pet-owner sense. (Like anybody of normal intelligence doesn't know to take a snake-bitten dog to the vet, for instance.) I can't say that I found answers to more than one or two of my many questions about owning a bulldog.

I'd never have bought this book in a bookstore, where I would have seen quickly that it didn't contain what I was looking for. Still, if I'd paid ten or twelve dollars for the book, I'd have been disappointed not to find what I had expected, but content with the enjoyable parts. At ... dollars, I consider the book a seriously bad value for me, an average owner.

2.0 out of 5 stars The book fo the Bulldog, April 22, 2000
By A Customer
I thought the book had some interesting things about the bulldog but I thought it was just to outdated. The pictures were nice but mostly in black in white. To be honest when I received the book I was disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Extensive, detailed, but outdated
This book is great for history of the breed, telling of previous bulldogs, but it is a little outdated. The latest reference I think I found was 1983 I think. Read more
