IN THIS ISSUE
Due to popular demand ; we are adding a historical section to our current and upcoming issues from the past forty one years of the American Pit Bull Terrier Gazette .
A large portion of these articles and photos are from back issues that are no longer available , except in private collections . We cannot find any of these old issues , even on EBay .
So enjoy this look into the distant past of the American Pit Bull Terrier Gazette , as some of these stories were old history when they were originally published .
