Summary: Dog Fighting Glorified
Review: 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.

Summary: the most informative book on APBT"s
Review: when I first purchased a am.pitbull this is the book I read
you may think it promotes fighting, when in fact it does not
He even says in it he does not encourage it...
But he does explain about the facts of it and why
which in my opinion is very open and honest
and to the fact about the novices pit fighters he explains
that you don't use abuse,which in my opinion again helps those who choose to game test their dogs.
I am against all forms of abuse with animals, and in his explaining the right way to
train a pitbull is in fact saving alot of animals from abuse!!!!
if you are an intelligent person you will understand this
it's up to the individual to choose what they do
I appluade Mr.Stratton for writing this book
It's definately a book that will become dog-eared(LOL): )
