LIMITED EDITION COLLECTOR'S SET

Two-Volume Limited Edition only $90 USD including postage!

Review by Barbara "BJ". Andrews, author of the Miniature Bull Terrer (t.f.h. publications), "mother" of the breed in the U.S., Importer of the first English Champion, first Junior Warrant Winner, etc. and 1st President of the new MBTCA which sought and achieved AKC recognition for the Miniature Bull Terrier.

What a find!  If you are a breed historian or just one of thousands who adore this breed and want to hold the first 100 Champions in your hand, you can own this Collector's Limited Edition (only 200 copies printed).

Compiled and edited by the one of the world's foremost authorities on all things bullie, Valerie Allenden presents A Record of the First Fifty Miniature Bull Terrier Champions, that's English Champions of course. 

Then, in an even more arduous undertaking, Allenden again collected photographs and pedigrees for the Second Fifty Miniature Bull Terrier Champions, also a Limited Edition.

Each dog's registered name, number, and vital statistics, including Owner, Breeder, date of birth, color, Challenge Certificate Awards, including date, show, and judge's name.  As though that were not enough of a feast for the breed gourmet, the books include number of litters and registered puppies produced by that dog or bitch!

But there's more!  Photos are English-style, mostly free stacked and natural as the breed is shown it its homeland.

The five generation pedigrees are traditionally displayed with Champions in red.  As one studies the genealogy of the breed, with a mind to the fact that there are very few English Champions "made up" over the course of a year ( a dog must defeat the champions in order to receive a Challenge Certificate) dominant dogs are easily identified.

 This two-volume set is a reference treasure of genetics, both phenotype and genotype.  An absolute must for every serious Mini-Bull breeder. 

It's a mark of distinction to own one of these rare editions but supplies are obviously limited. 

Import-shipping prohibits author autographing but Mrs. Andrews will be happy to ascribe your limited edition and wish you well in MBT at no extra charge.   Please specify if you wish for a personal autograph.
