    i personally would suggest The Complete Gamedog by Ed Faron...it has some stories in it but it also has alot of how to in it also

    If only purchasing one book...The Merck Veterinary Manual is the one to get!

    Here is a good start to read it online, I dont know how it compares to the real book in hand but it does teach a lot, and Tex is right... knowledge about Vet info should be of the utmost importance before reading other useless info about APBTs. I found this site very informative compared to other books...Tex could you check this out and see if it is like the real manual...

    IN the 80's the most popular book by far was Stratton's third book World of the APBT. IT's still my favorite of the ones I've read. I've not, however, read the Complete Gamedog in full. I would say avoid Stratton's last book as his second and third are better. Also avoid Semencic books. The Colby book is good
     
  14. your gonna need 2 books merck vet manual,and the complete gamedog.once you know these books inside and out you wont have a whole lot of questions left,lol.

    I agree, between those two books many questions will be answered.

    I've got Roccas book too, but found it more a call to arms to start fighting back against the bullshit surrounding the breed and everyday life than an informative book on bulldogs. He does delve rather deeply into the geneology of many dogs although.
