I have had not higher compliment than to have the veterinarians show off my dogs to people who don't know the breed, and have them say that my dogs are great representative of the breed.

There are a variety of factors that contribute to molding a person's life; for me a key factor has been the American Pit Bull Terrier. This fascinating creature has been a part of my family all my life.
