Description
The Pit Bull Garden: Evolution of the Pit Bull Terrier & Other Game Dogs
This book explores the history and development of game dogs, including the British Pit Bull Terrier, English Bull Terrier, and other Terrier breeds. The author delves into the world of dog fighting and badger baiting in 18th and 19th century Britain, and examines the creation of the American Pit Bull Terrier. With insights from dog fighters themselves, this book offers a unique perspective on the evolution of game dogs.
Topics covered include the concept of gameness, the birth of the game dog, and the comparison of the Pit Bull Terrier to other breeds such as the Japanese Tosa and Caucasian shepherd dogs. With a focus on the working game dog, this book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history and development of these breeds.
