ANY READERS ?

For those interested in the Max Brand short story Bulldog it was later renamed Blondy and appears in the book Max Brand : More Tales Of The Wild West.
I found a copy online for under $5 U.S.

Ahhh thanks for the info… I did not know that. I am pretty sure I read it in the collection of dog stories titled DAWGS by Charles Wright Gray from 1925, I think there are several other pit bull stories in that book. It is also available online for about $5 --

I've not read the Max Brand collection but he also wrote an odd novel titled THE WHITE WOLF in 1926 about a bull terrier raised by a wolf. The animals talk and I did not think it was as good as his Bulldog (Blondy) story, but I'd think his "bull terrier" hero was really a white pit bull since in 1926 they were called bull terriers. I doubt he means the fat white dogs now called "bull terriers" which can hardly waddle around a show ring…

For some more modern pit bull books, Frank Rocca wrote 3 books on gamedogs which are worth reading, Wayne Brown wrote HISTORY OF THE PIT BULL TERRIER which went thru 3 printings but is hard to find now (be careful of bootleg reprints), and James Crenshaw's book MY LIFE AND TIMES WITH THE AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER along with Jack Kelly's 50 YEARS WITH FIGHTING DOGS, plus Schoolboy's book THE BIG RED HANDBOOK, these are all good books.

I'll post more as I think of them….

Any other ''hidden gems'' out there ? I know there are two books co-authored by Mister Bill & Bad Momma called The Ultimate Gladiator Book I & II that are almost impossible to find as are Lockdown Rudy's Fire On The Mountain and Pit Side.

didn't really like the kemmer book was just a bunch of how great we were and how bad everybody else was...
