Customer Reviews

Excellent book for potential owner of an Amstaff or APBT!

I really enjoyed this book. I am not yet an Amstaff or APBT owner but I found the information in this book to be extremely informative as I attempt to evaluate whether this breed is the right choice for me. The pictures are just excellent.

This is a very informative, well written book.

The author covers everthing from housebreaking and training to what to look for in body structure, to what to expect from your APBT. It answered all the questions I had and more that I didn't know yet. It's a great book, a definite buy.

Great guide for the first time amstaff owner!

As a new owner of a staffordshire terrier, I found this book to be very helpful and informative. It leads you through all the basics of puppy care and beyond with lots of tips and info. The pictures and illustrations are really a plus. Get it!

A great, first-time owner's guide to the AmStaff Terrier

This book answers all those questions that a first-time owner of an AmStaff may have. From bringing home the puppy to caring for the older dog, the author covers this misunderstood breed of dog in detail. I especially liked the chapter on training the AmStaff. It helped me to avoid mistakes that so many other owners have made in training their dogs. You will want to occasionally review this book for additional advice at different stages of your pet's life. The book is a pure enjoyment to read. Once you start to read this book, you will not want to put it down.
