The Story of the Real Bulldog (Hardcover)
This book is informative, fun, and easy to read without being over simplistic.
This is an exhaustive, intelligent history of the breed, and an up to date record of it's development. It details why the modern KC registered Bulldogs are failing, and even points to where the failing begins and at what date! Every vet in world should back the Victorian Bulldog over the modern dog... and the KC Bulldog club even refused a contest, in fitness and health and well being between the two breeds. K. Mollett and R. Jenkins went out on a limb to bring us this book, and everyone who loves bull breeds should have a copy, or at least have read one from the library! Ken Mollett's work is rightly praised, and his ethics are beyond reproach. A well written, entertaining book, by real Bulldoggers... for Bulldoggers. Of course if you like your dogs so inbred they can't move, breath, or give birth naturally, and if you believe the kennel clubs always know the best dogs, and what's best for dogs, then you might just be offended!
