Akita Breed Book Nancy Richmond
Hoflin 2005 0866670718 / 9780866670715 New Softcover
A well-written, thought-provoking book that takes an in-depth look at the Akita breed. With all the beautiful, one-of-a-kind illustrations, Akita fanciers will be wanting two of these books - one from which to display the wonderful prints and another to keep intact to be added to their Akita library. With its unique form of publication this book is every bit as much an Akita art book as it is an Akita breed book.
This book comes as close as it gets to giving the reader insight into the complex, powerful and enduring Akita.
232 pages softbound, large 8.5x11 size. Profusely illustrated with 64 frameable prints, most in color.

Bill Siggers: He Whacked the Bloody Lot Robert Heal
Breachurst, UK, 1985 Softcover Very good condition. Label residue inside page
Very very hard-to find copy of the biography of the infamous Bill Siggers and the story of the famous Ouborough Kennels (Great Danes and Irish Wolfhounds). Packed full of fascinating details from the early 1900's, includes black and white photographs of some 'foundation' dogs. And yes, I'm afraid available copies (if you can find them) do go for these prices. The book has a stamped author's signature, but this is a posthumous joke of Mr Sigger's, who died prior to publication.

Bullmastiff Manual Bill Walkey
Kingdom/TFH 1999 1852790350 / 9781852790356 2nd Edition Hardcover Very Good
The names Bullmastiff, Bull and Mastiff, Bandog, Tiedog, and Gamekeeper's Night Dog have created an identity confusion of the breed known today as the Bullmastiff. It is one of the few dogs that was not adopted by Royalty and hence has not enjoyed the promotional publicity enjoyed by such breeds. Owing to this, its origins, purposes and history have become a little obscure over time and lost in the annals of history. In the 1930's, breed historians such as Eric Makins and Arthur Craven did their best to acquaint the public with the breed of that time.
This book provides background, methods and a 'how-to' for novices and first-time owners, plus a host of information for the long-time fancier, in a comprehensive format to supplement the true fancier's library.
