Pit Bull by Bronwen Dickey Pdf

The hugely illuminating story of how a popular breed of dog became the most demonized and supposedly the most dangerous of dogs—and what role humans have played in the transformation. When Bronwen Dickey brought her new dog home, she saw no traces of the infamous viciousness in her affectionate, timid pit bull. Which made her wonder: How had the breed—beloved by Teddy Roosevelt, Helen Keller, and Hollywood’s “Little Rascals”—come to be known as a brutal fighter? Her search for answers takes her from nineteenth-century New York City dogfighting pits—the cruelty of which drew the attention of the recently formed ASPCA—to early twentieth‑century movie sets, where pit bulls cavorted with Fatty Arbuckle and Buster Keaton; from the battlefields of Gettysburg and the Marne, where pit bulls earned presidential recognition, to desolate urban neighborhoods where the dogs were loved, prized—and sometimes brutalized. Whether through love or fear, hatred or devotion, humans are bound to the history of the pit bull. With unfailing thoughtfulness, compassion, and a firm grasp of scientific fact, Dickey offers us a clear-eyed portrait of this extraordinary breed, and an insightful view of Americans’ relationship with their dogs.

The American Pitbull Terrier: A Complete and Comprehensive Beginners Guide To: Buying, Owning, Health, Grooming, Training, Obedience, Understanding by Michael Stonewood Pdf

The American Pitbull Terrier is a medium-sized, solidly built, short-haired breed of dog. The Pitbull Terrier was created by cross breeding Old English Terriers and Old English Bulldogs, to produce a combination of the Terrier's gameness and the strength and athletic ability of the bulldog. The Pitbull Terrier was created in England and was introduced to the United States of America in the 18th century. The American Pitbull Terrier was traditionally used in bloodsports such as bull baiting, bear baiting and dog fighting. After these bloodsports were outlawed in the mid-19th century, the American Pitbull Terrier was employed to catch semi wild cattle, hogs and other ranch animals. Due to the strength and athleticism they were also used to hunt and drive livestock. In modern times, the American Pitbull Terrier is mainly used as a police dog, therapy dog or as a family companion. An average American Pitbull Terrier will be confident, eager to please and greet guests, loving, loyal and obedient.
