Right on! Thx for the warning on that. I'm tryna decide which book to add to my collection next. I've got the PBB, Ed's book, Gary's Book, one by Colby, and Bob Stevens' book. Is there one I should add before Armitage's?

The Hollingsworth Dogs

The boston terrier was only being developed at the time so still had a lot of fighting bull terrier in him before the kennel club finished them, just like the english bull could fight one time ,in that rocca book fighting for life he states how Walter Kominski had white hinkle bull terriers blended in to his strain and back in the day the could fight all the above books you mentioned are worth a read

Got a copy of the original Armitage hardback & it is most definately the best book out there imo.
Cheap reprints are available new & the print is more than fine. Pix are good too,but not as crisp.

From a historical perspective yes, but do not attempt George's methods yourself. He was very hard on the dogs.

i didnt think he was that hard on the dogs i know he two dogged them but he also pit them in shape for the test
