Not much in the way of stories or write ups in it, but plenty of interesting pics.

A nice book if your into strong dogs.

I had a so called Irish staff bitch about 17yrs ago.very shallow stop on here.

Could see the English bull in here makeup.very leggy bitch.

I had a black staff at the same time.

I use to feed them bones regular.with nuckles on each end the black staff would chew away on the end knuckles.

The Irish bitch would line it up on her back mollars and bite straight through it effortlessly.

Tremendous strength in her jaw.

She was from psycho lines.

moonshine quit on more than one occasion, changed owners more than once and met  rather gruesome end if memory serves me well. and whilst it's true scotsmans max met his demise at the hands of the R.S.P.C.A. It was his owner who handed him in, voluntarily!...
