"Foremost scholar on purebred dogs in the United States, Anna Katherine Nicholas offers an astoundingly clear portrait of the bull and terrier breeds in the The Staffordshire Terriers, covering both the American Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Judge and exhibitor for over fifty years, Miss Nicholas bears witness to the growth of these two breeds in the exhibition world and their potential as quality companion animals. Over 250 color photos as well as a gallery of historical black and white photos depict the past and present of the Staffordshire Terriers. This book will prove invaluable to active members of the breed fancies and pet owners alike, as it offers information concerning history, breed conformation, management and health care.
Front cover photo by Michele Perlmutter shows the American Staffordshire Terrier Ch. Fraja E. C. Winning Ticket, owned by Bonnie Currie, and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier Ch. Sans Tache’s Tour de Force, owned by Joseph LeBlanc and Marie Guthier.
