2.0 out of 5 stars Dog Fighting Glorified, Feb 5 2004

By

"hello_pitbull" (Indiana) - See all my reviews

This review is from: World of Amer Pit Bull Terrier (Hardcover)

Unless you honestly think that any animal enjoys fighting another for his life, unless you enjoy the idea of animals abused for entertainment purposes or unless you think that "dog fighting" quaifies as a "gentleman's sport" then I'd suggest you look to someone other than Stratton for your information. His glorification of the past and present of dog fighting is both sickening and and frightening all at the same time.

Calling the low lifes who get their kicks watching animals suffer "dogmen" in an attempt to sanitize this brutality does not change the facts. Dog fighting is not now, nor was it in the past, anything to be admired. His description of match details is enough to make any honest dog lover cringe.

The book does provide some excellent historical information on the development of the breed. However, there are other excellent sources of information on the subject, which manage not to make dog fighting sound like an acceptable activity.

Thank you Mr. Stratton for pounding one more nail into the coffin of this beautiful, loyal and misunderstoond breed.

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

By

Starry "evenstar7139" (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: World of Amer 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"

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't live without it!, Aug 12 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: World of Amer Pit Bull Terrier (Hardcover)

I bought this book when it first came out, it is an essential reference for the pit bull fancier. Lots of nice pics, information and great dogs, to boot. Chronicals the breed from its beginning, a great dog for the right (responsible) owner!
