Over the last few weeks I’ve been talking alot about dog fighting and Pit Bulls.  Due to the type of emails I’m getting I’m posting the following article one more time.  Also for anyone who wants to learn more about dog fighting and how to prevent it, please visit the ASPCA’s or HSUS links which are at the bottom of today’s post.

On Thursdays I’ve been sharing my story about finding a Pit Bull who was used for fighting. “Pit Bulls for Dummies,” is an extremely helpful book. I used it when I first found Sabrina. It gave me a good understanding of the breed. Written by well known dog author D. Caroline Coile, Ph.D. , she shares information in a fun, easy to read style. She spares no details when it comes to the Pit Bulls gruesome history, but those who are squeamish can speed read that particular chapter. This book includes how to analyze a dog, deciding if it’s a right breed for you, training and health care tips, and other resources. It’s a must read for anyone who’s considering adopting or purchasing a pit bull.
