"Without question, the most controversial of all groups of dogs, Fighting Dog Breeds evoke love or provoke hate from the dog person.  Each of the breeds discussed in this book have been the target of uniform dog legislators and partisan media, yet each breed continues to thrive despite its many detractors.  Dr. Dieter Fleig, an acknowledged international expert, details the origins of the old fighting breeds and tells the whole truth about their modern counterparts and their skills, temperaments and shortcomings. The author’s impassioned, intelligent account begins with the Tibetan dogs, the Roman warriors, the Bull and Bear Biters, and the Mastiffs and Bulldogs of England and continues with the modern breeds that rightly are counted among the Fighting Dog Breeds.

In addition to the premier fighting dog, the American Pit Bull Terrier, Dr. Fleig discusses the Staffordshire Terriers, Bullmastiff, Great Dane, Boxer, Neapolitan Mastiff, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, Tosa Inu and Bordeaux Dog, among others.  This second volume on the fighting dogs is illustrated with valuable historical photographs as well as beautiful portraits of these gladiator dogs today.

Look for the accompanying volume: History of Fighting Dogs by Dr. Dieter."
