[.ca] The Working American Bulldog (ISBN 0967271002)

Great book on the history of the American Bulldog!!!!:
I really enjoyed this book for many reasons: 1)This is a good book for the history of the American Bulldog...there are not a lot of books out there on American Bulldogs 2)The pictures are awsome 3)Written very well. I would recommend this book to anyone that has an American Bulldog or is thinking about owning one.

Good resource and a nice fun read!:
Dave's book was a nice fun read that truely depicts the versatile American Bulldog. What I enjoyed most was reading the stories about his experiences with his own dogs. Dave is willing to honestly share mistakes made and lessons learned, which is hard to find these days. Such honesty is invaluable to those of us getting into the breed for the first time, regardless of whether you want a working AB or not.

Good book... but needs a review:
I liked the book especially because of author's attempt to be polite and neutral in a world where breeders tend to show very little respect to the ideas and preferences of the folks breeding "the other" type of AB (Scott ABs vs JDJ ABs vs etc). The author talks about all "kinds" of ABs, but I somehow think that the book now needs a complete review, in order to accomodate the changes and perceptions in the last few years. I also would like to see a more complete section (or perharps a complete new book) exclusively about JDJ ABs, which happens to be the type of AB that I prefer and breed. Claudiano

Expertise from an Expert!:
Interested or merely curious about this breed, this magnificent book is the major definitive work! Full of beautiful photos which enhance the personal stories and factual data! This is not a "cookie-cutter" series, but rather a hands-on knowledge from first-hand experience, tempered with candid observations! This is a marvellous volume in every respect on many aspects of this canine species!

A Must Have for the American Bulldog Enthusiast:
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.
