RARE REPRINTS AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME!

"PIT DOG REPORT"-1970- The first great year of publication of this rare and famous pit dog magazine of the past containing many photos and match reports on the most noted dogs in pit fighting history.

We have just completed a reprinting of several very old pit bull fancier magazines of the '70's and 80's. We have hand picked these issues for their valuable content, both text and photographic, to the modern day pit bull fraternity. Even if you could find these valuable old prints in their original form they were done on poor quality, high acid content paper and likely will be falling apart as are my old copies of them. And just try getting an old-timer friend to let you take his home and look at them! Good luck!

These prints are done on heavy 24 lb. bond white, archive quality, acid-free paper and will last a lifetime. And we had them put on a 24 lb. ivory color cover to make them look especially presentable. In other words they are better than the originals, if you could find them.

And this is no slap-dash job by an 18 year old at "Quick Print" hurrying to get to lunch, either. These were carefully done by a professional at this own printing shop on a $10,000 copier as that process reproduces the photos much better than offset printing and we paid particular attention to trying to do the pictures as clearly as we could. These are full size 8 1/2" by 11" reprints done on 11" by 17" paper, folded in the middle and stapled just like the originals! Here's what we have.

Volume 1-Issue 1--Jan./Feb. 1970--Cover-George Saddler handling his dog. Reports from a big convention in which Crenshaw's Reno; Boudreaux' Eli; Hooten's Butcher Boy and Miss Spike's sister, Stockton's Big Liz, were all matched!

Numerous photos of famous dogs like: Hernandez' Zeke; Crenshaw's Colby Rusty; Mayfield's Jug; Clouse's Baldy vs. Mason's Bear Cat; Mayfield's Trip; Johnston's Goofy vs. Heinzl's Clancy; Anderson's Troubles vs. Barbee's Rock; Carver's Black Widow; Leo and Maurice; Wilder's Big Tuffy; Stockton's Big Liz; Mayfield's Kitty and more.
