COLBY'S BOOK OF THE

AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER

by Louis B. Colby
with Diane Jessup

For over one hundred years, the Colby family has dedicated itself to breeding the best Pit Bull Terriers in the world.  This long-awaited volume, written by the son of the great John P. Colby, the pioneer breeder who helped establish the Pit Bull in America, accounts in historical photo-graph, fact and anecdote the very foundation of this loyal breed of dog.  Author Louis B. Colby, like his father, has dedicated his life to the preservation and breeding of the Pit Bull, and Colby's Book of the American Pit Bull Terrier is a triumphant testament to the culmination of the extraordinary work of these two men.  This book documents one hundred years of the Colby family's breeding program, capturing in painstaking detail the dogs that became the pillars of the Pit Bull Terrier in pedigree and story, as well as in many rare photographs that never have been published before.  Because of the quality of the dogs they bred and the clear documentation of their breeding program, the Colbys are among the most respected dog families in America.  No other family in the country can lay claim to having so profoundly affected a popular dog breed-it is true that practically every American Pit Bull Terrier in the world today can trace its pedigree back to the Colby dogs.
