If anyone wants an informative read, the Cesar Millans book, Cesars way is a real educational read. Also 'Fatal Dog Attacks' by Karen Delise, is a superb read explaining canine behaviour and the reasons for attacks, and the statistics. Sounds gorry but really educational. Amazon is a really good source.

Mike Homans, Staffordshire Bull Terriers in History and Sport is a brilliant read, and well worth the current price. I have seen it available in the book section at www.edreid.co.uk

If you want a true and honest read about APBT's then Richard Strattons books are a must. He tells it as it was. There are four i can think of, all a mine full of info, diffrent from any of the other publications. 1.The world of the APBT 2.This is the APBT 3.The truth about the APBT 4.The book of the APBT

i have just got a copy of a book calle memories of a pitbull terrier and his master by L.B.Hanna it was recomened by the guy from Harris & Watson Collars were i got it at the show i am only half way in to it its a good book but its mostly storys about old time pit fighting dogs wen fighting your dog was the way to prove them its a bit much for me but i will keep on there is supposed to be good tips on condioning dogs and how they did it back in the day. there is some good dogs in it real game dogs but shows how times have changed. even thou they fight there dogs wich we all no is really wrong they seemed to have a lot of resect for the dog and it would be a pet and is loved and it makes out they really loved to fight. he speaks about lines that are still around today like kk if its the same
