A very good book.......2000-10-24
For someone who wants to get an American Pit Bull Terrier should read this book. It talks about responsible ownership and how to socialize your puppy so that it will become a good canine citizen. Although it has a whole chapter about dog-fighting which I don't like, it uses that information to explain the temperament of the breed - which is not a vicious animal like everyone says. Ofcourse pit bulls are dog-aggressive, although some live with other dogs their whole life without any incidents. They love people and strangers and are not guard dogs - in fact they love people so much that they will let a stranger in your house, take everything including the pit bull. Some pit bull owners even get other dogs like Dobermans to protect their pit bull. It might sound strange but its true. Bad breeding, dog-fighters, gangsters, and the media gave this breed a bad reputation. Before you buy a dog - read this book first. Pit bulls are only for very few people - only if you you are getting this dog as a pet, have lots of time to spend timewith them, socialize them, and have time to love them then may be you should consider this breed. Be a responsible owner!
great info on a breed hated by many.......2000-07-03
for someone who knows nothing or little about the breed this is a very informative book and even greater for someone who refers to the breed as a blood thristy killer who lives to fight.if it can change my fathers view on an american pit bull terrier it can change anyones!
Should be required reading for all owners/potential owners!.......1998-12-09
This short, inexpensive book realistically depicts the unique challenges and responsibilities of owning this special breed. If everyone followed his advice, we wouldn't have the negative press we do today. If I bred APBTs, I would give one to everyone who purchased a puppy from me.
Mr. Fenstermacher's book exorcises the dreaded APBT demons!.......1997-01-28
Finally, Finally! Here is a book written in an easy down-to earth style which covers the raising of one of America's most controversial breeds of dog. Mr Fenstermacher's knowledge of this breed obviously comes from hands on experience, as he has been breeding and raising these dogs for some time. He playfully writes of his own pets and gives brilliant examples of often overlooked training methods and their desired results. In this day and age of the dreaded "Pit Bull Danger" it is gratifying to read of these fine animals as loyal and intelligent pets

Not that great.......2003-01-09
I thought this book had way too much information about showing and breeding...We recently got a new Bull Terrier puppy and were looking for "useful" information. This book didn't have it. It's not a terrible book, but definitely not what I was expecting...Perhaps more useful to someone CONSIDERING getting a Bull Terrier
Very informative for the new bullie owner...a must have!.......1999-09-27
A great book for the new bullie owner. Chock full of photos for those of us who can't get enough bullie pics! Informative about all the basics of puppy ownership...do's and dont's...what to buy...what to teach...also a great history section. An essential guide for the bull terrier owner written by an experienced breeder of the bull terrier.

Rachel Alexander, PI, and Dash, her pit bull, are back again in a fourth outing of this winning series, which does a lot to counteract the negative image of the breed--the four-footed rather than the flat-footed variety. When Sophie Gordon, an epileptic teacher at a school for deaf children, asks Rachel to find Side by Side, the mysterious organization that cloned her faithful companion Blanche, Rachel finds more than she bargained for, not only more than one carbon copy of Sophie's pet, but a litter of trouble.
Sophie loves Bianca, the supposedly cloned animal Side by Side promised her, but Bianca doesn't seem to have inherited the one trait that makes Blanche so valuable and that others suffering from Sophie's disease require: the ability to warn their owner when a seizure's coming. Concerned that whoever gets the other clones won't be able to rely on them for assistance, she sets Rachel on the trail of the veterinarian who supposedly cloned her pet. Then Sophie dies in what turns out to be murder, and although Rachel no longer has a client, she's determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. Motivated as much by concern for what will happen to Blanche and Bianca now that Sophie's dead, she presses on with her investigation despite her personal misgivings about the implications of cloning and soon finds herself a murder target. This is a smart, carefully paced mystery that has a nice surprise tucked into the conclusion. Rachel's doggy-love seems more important than her feelings for her boyfriend, a dog psychologist, or any other human, but her emotions are entirely believable and likely shared by plenty of others who are owned by their pets. --Jane Adams

Dash is an English Bull Terrier.......2002-02-19
Sophie Gordon, a woman with epilepsy who teaches the deaf has a wonderful pet therapy/aide dog. Her dog is alert to whenever she has a seizure. She loves and depends on her dog.
Enter P.I. Rachel Gordon and her sidekick, Dash. Dash has the trademark anvil shaped head that distinguishes the English bull terrier from the pit bull. Rachel and her anvil headed dog crack the case and yet you wonder -- is Sophie's dog really a clone?
Was Bianca really a clone of Blanche?.......2001-12-15
Sophie Gordon was an epileptic. She used a seizure alert dog to tell her when she was going to have a seizure. The dog was getting old, so when someone approached her in the dog park proposing to clone her dog, she jumped at the chance to have a dog just like Blanche. In due time, she received Bianca, who looked exactly like Blanche. One problem, she did not alert. Sophie wanted to find the people who cloned her, to tell them that the alert trait that they were looking for wasn't there. Enter Rachel Alexander, private investigator and former dog trainer. Sophie hires her and Dash the pitbull to find the organization, so she can inform them. Not long after, Sophie is found dead of a seizure, or was it? There are alot of strange circumstances in this case and Rachel is determined to find out why Sophie died and to place Bianca and Blanche.
Each one of Benjamin's books seems to be better than the last. I just couldn't put this book down. It was very exciting in parts, lots of action, and a very satisfying ending.
Excellent work.......2000-11-08
Sophie Gordon arranged to meet private investigator Rachel Alexander at the Washington Square Park dog run. There, Sophie explains why she needs a sleuth. The School of the Deaf teacher uses a service dog to help her by alerting her when she is going into a seizure. This allows Sophie the time to insure her safety. Her canine Blanche died, but before she did, the Side by Side agency cloned the dog. However, the canine Sophie received, Bianca, is unable to detect seizures. Sophie worries that the other clones will also fail to perform that task and wants the agency to warn their owners. However, the agency seems to have vanished off the planet.
Not to long after that meeting, Sophie dies conspicuously from a seizure. Rachel wonders about the questionable coincidence that her new client should die shortly after she tells the sleuth her tale, especially because Sophie was very careful with her ailment. Rachel feels obligated to find the Side by Side people and accompanied by Dash begins to make inquiries without yet realizing the danger she places herself and Dash in at the hands of unscrupulous individuals.
THE WRONG DOG is an exciting mystery filled with intelligence, humor, and a dash of Manhattan. The enjoyable yet educating story line is fun to read as the plot centers on cloning, disabilities, and an exhilarating investigation by one of the better female detectives as well as one of the better animal detectives in a current series. Fans will want to read Carol Lea Benjamin's other well-written canine tales.

So - SO.......2006-11-07
This book is decent for people new to dogs in general. I'd hoped to find more info specific to staffords especially in training and dealing with common stafford problems like chewing and skin problems. There are some things inside I didn't know, so I'd still say it was worth the price.
Introduction to Staffords.......2006-02-09
This book is a wonderful introduction to the Staffordshire Bull Terrier! It provides not only a confirmation information but also a history of the breed, how to care for and train it and what types of activities are enjoyed by staffords and their owners. Quality, often large, color photos really round out this book. If you are considering a stafford, this is the first book you should purchase.
Poor production values.......2005-02-16
I haven't read this book. I own it, but I haven't read it. The reason I haven't read it is because they chose an unfortunate font for the text of the book, a font that's too "dense" on the page. I kid you not. I admit it's a strange criticism but if reading a book is an exercise in eye strain, that's a problem. The only time it lets up is on the one page where the font inexplicably changes. And what's with the photo on the page three title page? That's an American Staffordshire Terrier, not an SBT. It has cropped ears, and its legs and neck are long. I gave it three stars because I didn't think it was fair to completely pan a book I haven't read, and the photos that are actually of SBTs are adorable
ALL AROUND GOOD READ.......2001-03-10
A really good book well written by somebody who obviously knows the breed first hand. Whatever you would like to know about the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is here in one book. Whether you would like to show your dog or just provide the best possible care for your best friend, all of the answers are here. VERY highly recommended for either a fancier of the breed or for anybody who wishes to learn more about it.
Quite comprehensive.......2000-11-30
It is amazing the amount of facts to be taken in consideration when you purchase a new dog, if the SBT is on your short list, this book is a must buy, aside from the average information needed in make the decision, it is obvious the amount of time, dedication and love the author has or the breed, one of the most incredible dogs finally gets a great source of info for the beginner Staff Bull owner, alongside with great pictures, this books gives you everything you need to konw before and right after you get your Sttafordshire Bull Terrier

Everything you'll ever want to know about Bull Terriers.......1999-01-06
One of the very few books about a very facinating breed, and also one of the best every written. Although some information are a bit out dated, but it is still very informative and detailed. This book begins with the history and development of the breed, and most improtant of them all what to expect from this breed. I Bought my first bullie after reading this book, and still referring back to it time after time. A must for new Bull Terrier owners or anyone interested in them!
Great general book about Bull Terriers.......1999-01-03
Probably the best general book on this breed, including both the joys and challenges of owning this breed. Includes classic articles written by breeders instumental in development of the modern Bull Terrier.
The book to read on Bull Terriers!.......1997-03-28
A very knowledgeable treatment on the subject of buying, owning and showing a bull terrier by one of the finer breeders of this continent. If someone were planning on adding a bullie to their home, they should read this book first

From the supplier: A New Hampshire court ruled in Roland v. LeBlanc that a landlord had to pay damages to a tenant injured by a pit bull for not keeping the apartment building free of foreseeable danger. Since landlords did not have strict liability under New Hampshire law, the case had to be made on common law grounds and became a premises liability case. The case was complicated by the fact that the plaintiff had been drinking before going to the apartment where the pit bull was.

identical!.......2006-08-01
Just so you know this book is the exact same book as Flower innovations; Flair with flowers is just a newly published edition. You can confirm this by looking on the amazon site under product details of both books.
Brilliant and inspiring!.......1999-07-17
This book is absolutely wonderful! Paula has created beautiful arrangements in this book. Every page contains yet another arrangement to take your breath away. Not only that, but Paula makes her creations available for all of us to try. The information and history about each flower is also extremely interesting.
Whether you're a lover of flowers or of beautiful photography (of which I am both), this book is definitely worth buying.
Stunning photograpy and creativity make this book a gem........1999-07-11
British florist Paula Pryke and photographer Kevin Summers have produced a stunning book of floral designs which is well worth owning. Amateur and professional floral designers alike will be charmed by the quality and variety of the photographs as well as the very readable and informative text. This book is a must-have for arrangers interested in new ideas.
The chapters center on specific flowers (e.g. orchids, gerbera daisies, roses) which is a unique approach.
The book would make a lovely coffee table book for those who just enjoy beautiful floral design photography. For those of us who take floral arranging seriously, it is an inspiration.
The most artistic creative floral design book yet........1997-07-11
I have been reading and buying floral design books for years. Paula Pryke is the most creative imaginative artist I have ever seen in this field.
And she shares all of her creative ideas and techniques with the reader. If I pick up this book and start reading it I cannot put it down! I lent both of her books Flowers Flowers! and Flair with Flowers to a friend who said the same thing!
There is a flood of new floral decorating books out there and none of them can come close to these two books!
