The American Pit Bull Terrier Handbook
Preface The APBT will surprise you. It doesn't matter if you have years of experience with dogs or have never owned a dog before; the APBT will surprise you. Because of the many highly derogatory things that have been said and printed about this breed, the real APBT will surprise you. This book is not a piece of public relations literature about this breed. It is not designed to gloss over the negatives and accentuate the positives about the APBT. This book's goal is truth, and sometimes that truth can be revealed only when the interaction between a specific dog and a specific human being has played itself out. So, prepare to be surprised. The APBT is not the dog you may perceive it to be and owners of the APBT may not be what you imagine them to be. One thing is also certain; if you read this book and then take time to get to know this breed, you won't be who you were when you started the process. Now, that's a surprise! An old English proverb seems to fit the American Pit Bull Terrier, "Give a dog a bad name, and hang him. The virtues of the dog are his own, his vices, those of his master." This APBT would do well to look over its shoulder with all the hype and misinformation that has been put out about the breed. The Pit Bull Song By W.W. Schnipp Copyright© 1995 Quillian Publishing Company, BMI I stopped at a little roadside cafe in a new town hopin' to change my luck I heard a small boy holler at me as he climbed upon my truck He said mister, is that a Pit Bull that's riding up front with you?
