Summary: Guide to owning a staffordshire bull terrier
Review: a decent book on the breed, but has a reference in it that the pit bull is vicious. to me it seems the author doesnt know to much about the pit bull. statement like that get the bull terrier in more of a bad rap.

Summary: The Guide to Owning a Staffordshire Bull Terrier(Marion Lane
Review: Amongst the limited number of books available on this particular breed, most of which I own, this one stands out. Not only is it lavishly illustrated with superior quality photographs of Staffs, supplies, other recommended books and how-to-photos (say, clean the puppy's ears), but the contents is detailed enough, to the point, useful and informative. As I was reading the book what also came through was the Author's affection for this breed. Other books on the subject, either boring or too matter-of-factly, have fallen short of affording me such a bonus.

Summary: Irresponsible
Review: I would not recommend this book to most dog owners. I was immediately turned off by it from the first page:"Most Stafford owners are quick to answer no [to the question 'Is that a Pit Bull?'], and then take the time to say the name of the breed over and over, slowly and carefully, to make sure there is no misunderstanding. They may go on to try to explain what a Pit Bull actually is: 'bigger,' 'longer legs,' 'cropped ears,' 'vicious,' 'trained to fight.'" In my opinion it's terribly irresponsible that she would defend the Stafford whilst demonizing the Pit Bull. Also, pictured on the back cover of the book is an American Staffordshire Bull Terrier, not a Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
