I purchased this book after viewing many. I found that this book had all the essential elements of Labrador care, characteristics and training with a very nice picture illustration. I bought this book for other Labrador (1st and multiple time) owners who also enjoy it. Some things the pictures present may otherwise be difficult to explain. I recommened this book highly to all Labrador lovers.

If you're considering a purebred dog, make sure you check out these books by Dr. Bruce Fogle. They're full of up to date info and colour photos. The profile on the Labrador Retriever features information on general care, feeding, training, grooming, and exercise.

This book is very helpful when it comes to learning about and understanding this intelligent breed. This book covers the following subjects: Puppy Care, Adult Care, Feeding and Food, Grooming, Health, Breeding, Showing, the Working Dog, and a special chapter called "The Dog For You", which introduces you to the Labrador breed. I recommend this book to anyone who is considering or already owns a Lab.

I liked most of this book. I have a male chocolate lab and wanted to know more about the breed. It covered every area from showing, to the breed standard to lab behaviors. The only subject I was dissapointed about was the lack of information on breeding a male labrador. I wanted to know more about the basic steps to take when breeding my male lab with a female. For example, when can I breed him? How do I get the word out that I have a male labrador to breed? If you're an owner of a female labrador, this book covered those areas. However, there were only a few lines on breeding a male.
