 Excellent book November 9, 2007

I read this book a long time ago and have saved it ever since.
It is a scientific evaluation of a dog bred for combat.
There are sections of the book that go into feeding, breeding and conditioning. Any serious sport dog owners should have this book.
Some may be offended by the pull no punches style of reporting and explaining but if you want a real pit bull book or a sport dog (shutz or catch dog) this is the right one.

Even though it was written in the 1980s, this book is far ahead of anything else regardng canine nutrition, conditioning, and breeding. Please understand, Bob Steven is from the old school, politcally incorrect in this day and age, but he loved dogs and had his own belief as to what pitbulls enjoyed and what is and is not cruel. The book is a treasure and well worth reading.

I cannot beleive that a company like Amazon would sell trash like this!! This book supports animal cruelty. Maybe some of the sadists that gave it high reviews are into that type of thing- but I am not! Just look at the pictures of what a dog looks like after a fight- and to think all of that suffering happened because some derainged freak thinks it is a fun sport. I pity you when your karma catches up.

It is irrelevant if Mr Stevens was convicted. It has NOTHING to do with the fact that this is an extremely well writen, extremely informative book. People need to stop trying to sensor what others read because of thier own views. Especially views based on an opinion and NOT FACT.
