5 out of 5 stars Wonderful, informative book to understand the breed!   July 29, 2005
 11 out of 11 found this review helpful

This book spells out the true nature of a Pitbull. To M. Adamcik, did you read the book or did you use this forum to just vent?? I recommend you read Fatal Dog Attacks, the Stories Behind the Statistics, as this will open your eyes and show you documented facts that precious Golden Retreivers, Dachshunds and even the ever popular Yorkie and Westie can and HAVE killed. One of pits extreme qualities is their ability to please. They will do anything and everything and turn around to their owner with a look "Did I do good?? HUH?? HUH??" That is the appeal to the "hoodlums" that exploit and abuse these dogs for their own pleasure. The book is clear, concise, informative and unbiased.


4 out of 5 stars This really is a decent book   October 8, 2004

Yes, it is true there are Pit Bull books out there that tell you tons more about the breed than this one does, however these books I speak of do not tell you much about general dog care while this one tells a great deal.

This book gives you enough information on the breed to help you decide if you want to own one and it contains plenty of information to help you succesfully raise and care for your dog.

It was only on the second day with our "red heeler" shelter pup, that we realized after staring at her confirmation and piecing together the tidbits of history supplied by the adopter lady, that we realized we actually had a cattle dog--pit bull mix on our hands. I found this book to be a good introduction to the breed. I did not get the impression of breed confusion that another reviewer stated. While I have owned dogs before, I appreciated the sections on basic care because it brought me up to date on the latest thinking and it eliminated the need for me to buy another book on general dog care that I probably would not have. We already have another cattle dog mix, so my next purchase will probably be a cattle dog book. But I found this book a very good starting point for planning a strategy to successfully raise my half pit bull rescue child. Obviously this book is written for someone like me. If you are a hardcore experienced pit bull person, you probably need something more heavy duty.

I agree with Nunya Business. There are some interesting tidbits, but nothing in depth or particularly illuminating about pit bulls.

This is a refreshingly accurate book compared to all the ones that seem to be written by dummies and filled with old wive's tales. It is a great book for pitbull owners.
I don't know what the earlier reviewer is talking about. I looked through my copy and found none of the problems mentioned. Maybe he is confusing it with another book?
