3.0 out of 5 stars should have brought another book on my trip..., May 7 2003

By	FL Bill "FLB" (St. Petersburg, FL United States) - See all my reviews

I liked the book just fine for the first few chapters, which were just about AB's. As far as house traing, health, and other issues I found this book to be very basic. Could apply to any breed of dog. I got this book right before a trip I took to California last month. After the first half of the book it was like any other dog book I read. (I read lots of puppy/dog books recently) I lost intrest then. It even tells you that certian chapters are not Blakwell's work but used with premission from 'other resources.' Which are not about AB's, and anyone with an AB knows, OUR dogs ARE different! (your AB even sit on your foot and look up at you like it knowes you own it, with love? (you know what I mean)If you want a generic puppy book then try 'puppy preschool' or one of the hundreds of other dog books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but not the best... Good buy for the newcomer, Jan 10 2003

By	Claudiano (Sao Jose dos Campos, SP Brazil) - See all my reviews

The book is not bad as some say.
Indeed, it provides good information specially for those new to the breed (new owners, new breeders, etc) about the history, pictures, facts, etc.

The second half of the book is breed-independent (health, food, puppies, trainning, etc), but again, is quite good for the newcomer.

Bottom line. Get both (American Bulldogs and The Working American Bulldog). I DO recomend both for all of my customers.

1.0 out of 5 stars You get only 10% of what you want to know about the breed, Dec 30 2000

By A Customer

This book should only cost 10% of its price, because only 10% of its content is actually devoted to the American Bulldog breed. Don't blame the author, though. As with other T.F.H. publications under this series, the latter 90% of the book is "standard" content. You can buy a book about a Rottweiler and find the same 90% "standard" section (expect a lot of write-up about NYLABONE and its allied products)in it, with only the 1st 10% section devoted to the breed. YOU CAN GET MORE VALUABLE information from the few good web sites in the internet.

2.0 out of 5 stars More information needed
This book is very vague and for lack of another source, it was the only reason I bought it. True bulldoggers know the facts of this breed. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Its a good book but too brief to satisfy a real enthusiast.
As I said it is too brief. Most of the information is insufficient and it doesn't describe the different strains of bulldog i.e Johnson/scott and standard. Read more
