Q: What books about American Bulldogs are available?
A: Several titles are available, some are better than
others.... here are some examples.
(There are also articles/chapters in many general dog books and
in books about bullbreeds, but I won't go in to them here. You'll
have to take a look around and see what you can find).
"American Bulldog Stories, Facts and
Legends" by Pastor Lemuel Miller. 
This very readable book is full of stories and factual information along with input from
some of the famous old names in the breed.
Available to order from Lem at Joshua
Kennels.
"American Bulldogs" by
John Blackwell.
In my opinion this is probably the least useful book that is
available on the subject. It is also the cheapest....

"American Bulldog" by
Abe Fishman.
This book is worth adding to your collection. Whilst not
perfect by any means, it is sensibly written and it considers the
breed's origins in a thoughtful way. Worth reading.

"The Working American Bulldog"
by David Putnam.
I met Dave at a dog show when he came over to England some years back; he is
an intelligent, and articulate man.
Every bulldogger should have this book in his collection, it is an
interesting read and full of colour photographs. However, it is
written from a very personal standpoint. I understand that this
book currently out of print, but the it may still available if you look around.

"American Bulldog" by
Gesa Fenge
This book was written by Gesa Fenge, one of the proprietors of Chestnut's
Little Indians kennel in Germany. The book is written in
Gesa's native tongue (German) and since my German is pretty much
non-existent I can't really comment meaningfully on the text.
However Gesa is a person who does all the right things with her
dogs when it comes to testing and evaluation, so I would expect
the book to be a worthwhile read. Or you could just look at the pictures!
