I would like to hear from the readers, either by letter or through the various journals, Bloodlines, Grit and Steel, or The Gamecock, whether the book comes up to their expectations. Without their help, so enthusiastically given, this book could not have been made possible. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all my personal friends and the many new acquaintances that I have made for their kindness in sending in the histories of their dogs, and for the many rare photos of famous dogs which appear in this volume.
I had to make my word good, for a thing that I place on the list first is to be as good as your word. In writing this book I have spent many an hour when I should have been in my bed sleeping, but I had promised the Fanciers that I would get this book out by December 1st, if possible. A fascinating look at a vanished era.Keywords: George Armitage Fighting Dogs John Noonan Acknowledged Master Rare Photographs Master Of The Game Famous Battles Saddler Dugan Galvin Shipley Bozo Rarity Pup Thirty Years Brandy 20th Century Read more
