Memories Of The Pit Bull Terrier And His Master (History Of Fighting Dogs Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
