Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

If you’re a new owner of a Lab, whether for companionship, hunting or show, you need this book!

From the Author

This book is a manual for new owners of a Labrador Retriever. Information is presented for owners of a companion dog as well as for those who might be interested in bench competition, field training, or field trials.

The goals that were expressed for our earlier book, The Labrador Retriever remain the same, but the information has been completely updated and an additional chapter has been added to reflect the new ways in which the versatility of the Labrador Retriever is being realized. The Breed Standard has been revised by the parent club, the Labrador Retriever Club, Inc., and new dogs have established their own records in the field and on the bench. The photographs in this edition will reflect the winning trends of today. Robert J. Berndt and Richard L. Myers
