Bully - It's the Pits (Paperback)

Are you game? For owners of dogs classified as bully breeds, it's a loaded question, one that conjures up scenes of aggression: canines pitted against one another. A complex reputation - and history - precedes Staffordshire bull terriers, Amstaffs, bulldogs, and American pit bull terriers. But did you know that the bully breeds are responsible for less than 1 per cent of all dog bites on humans? Facts aside, these affectionate dogs are widely misunderstood, and pit bull devotees are game for a change in public perception of the breed. Bully is an anthology of art, advice, interviews, and anecdotes; a celebration of the pit bull and the people they love. the heart of this oft-maligned breed and the cultures that surround it. Packed with interviews from top breeders, pit bull rescue operation organisers, and the mastermind behind rappers DMX's dog clothing line Boomer 129, this beautiful book explores the evolution of the breed, offers practical and personal insights into a world that need not be intimidating, and smashes stereotypes with facts and style.
