The Working American Bulldog

Summary: A well thought out book by a true AB lover
Review: This book is a true labor of love by someone who obviously has great respect of the breed. I am the proud owner of absolutely beautiful AB and was disappointed by the limited number of AB books available. I own three AB books including this one and find this one by far the most comprehensive. Dave put's a lot of his own personal opinions in the book which would be expected since little history seems to be available on the AB, and that Dave probably has a lot more personal experience with his ABs than most of the audience for the book. This book is well worth the expense.

Summary: A Must Have for the American Bulldog Enthusiast
Review: This book is an excellent source of information for those wishing to learn more about the American Bulldog. The book is refreshingly free of the not-so-well disguised advertising for the Nylabone and other dog products.

Dave does a good job of discussing the origin of the breed as well as the status of the breed today. There is a wealth of accurate information here with an unflinching analysis of the breed's temperament and tendencies for canine combat/aggression.

Dave is clearly not a professional writer and his writing style is somewhat awkward in places. Also, Dave is not afraid to express his own personal opinions. While most of the book is based on solid factual information, some sections are based more on Dave's opinion and some of his explanations should be understood to have been "filtered" through his personal beliefs. Nevertheless, this book is a must have for the person who wants to read detailed and no nonsense information on the American Bulldog. Highly recommended.

Summary: The BEST dog book on the market...PERIOD!
Review: This is the best book about dogs that I have ever read! Tons of high quality pictures..with GREAT stories and history about the American Bulldog (the BEST breed in the world). I have read many other breed books and this by far is the best... Thank you David Putnam for putting this AB book out for all of us to enjoy. I have already purchased 6 copies for family and friends...and I think I need another 5 from the looks of things.... Jose Lopez (American Bulldogger for life)

Summary: The Working American Bulldog is comprehensive
Review: This is the first comprehensive book on ABs. It has over 300 color photos, dozens of historical prints and covers AB history, training, care and quirks. Foundation breeders and their programs are analyzed extensively. This is not a formula book, every bit of it is about Bulldogs. American Bulldogs are not for everyone, after reading this book you will know if they are right for you.
