They have 30 Years with Fighting Dogs on Amazon right now with the "Look Inside!" feature, and wow..... there's some very compelling stuff in there, just in the PREVIEW of the book!!

One of the match accounts it documents tells of a pure Colby dog being licked by a mutt that was half Boston Terrier and half Bull Terrier, I believe it went on to say the dog made CH, or at least 2xw. The Colby dog QUIT to it. Could you imagine a pit bull of today quitting to anything resembling a Boston Terrier? Anything with a DROP of Boston Terrier blood in it that wasn't crossed up with a bulldog? Just goes to show you how much things have changed.

It also told of how a guy who'd screwed him over in a deal went to a NOTARY and had it officially documented when he recanted his story and apologized to clear his name. A NOTARY. I couldn't believe that.

Another thing of note is that the writer gave the impression that it was pretty common practice to keep curs around and use them later on, for rolling, matching again, AND breeding. The couple of stories you could read in the "peak" made it very clear that they found other uses for the animals that had quit in earlier shows, which I found interesting. Not at all like how the everyday "hard asses" make the good old days seem. I wonder how many of those blowhards have read actual history books such as this, as opposed to getting all of their historical data from a google site.

I'll definitely be buying this book, as well as some of the old classics written in the 20's-30's.
