This book provides the basics on Labrador Retrievers. If you are new to the breed this is a very helpful book. It does provide enough information to get you started with a new puppy and a new breed. If you are looking for very detailed instructions on training and retrieving this book really doesn't go into enough detail.

This book was informative on the basics, but did not go into a lot of depth on any one topic. I bought it because I was researching the breed, but I feel I need to buy additional material in order to answer my questions, since I plan on being a new parent to a pup.

This is the first book I read on this breed, it is has lots of helpfull information, covering various aspects of the dog, including puppy care, training, health, breed standard, and more. I found it very interesting to read plus it has got very good ilustrations, prime photographs let you see how the dog looks in different situations. Without doubt I recommend it, however it does not go in much detail in some areas, as it only has 64 pages.

Great first book for anyone who is interested in owning a Lab. Simple yet detailed. Illustrations are great. Gives the basics on most aspects of owning a Lab. Great compliment to Water Dog. Enjoyed the book immensely.

As a person who has had the distinct pleasure of sharing my house and my life with as many as six Labrador retrievers at a time over the last 20 years (I now have five), I am acutely aware of the wonder and awe associated with getting such a wonderful companion can be. yet, sadly, I am also aware of the profound ignorance many would-be labrador-people are regarding how to select, introduce, and socialize this new member of the family. In that sense, this book , along with a number of others such as Richard Wolper's "Family Dog", can provide the wary would-be initate with all of the essentails on how to successfully transform that cute little puppy into a happy, obedient, and well-integrated member of the household.

This book does offer one the expert advice one needs regarding the care and nurture of what has now become the single most popular breed in the United States, with information ranging from an impromptu history of Labrador Retrievers to such topics such as adoption options. The book also features a wealth of facts and details regarding Labrador Retrievers. It provides essential and vital information regarding nutrition, socialization, and exercise, and offers some sage advice about how to find and select a reputable breeder. In addition, it also touches on aspects of ownerships such as common illnesses and chronic problems associated with the breed. This is a book I can heartily recommend!

I have to say that I was very disappointed with this book. I was hoping for more information to be contained within the book but this is more like a book that you would give an elementary school child. The book gives only superficial information about the breed. I think that people can find more information on most online sites,i.e. Wikidpedia, etc.

I think this book is very nice. It's teaches you about puppy care, show the first time hunters how to hunt with their dogs. It also teaches you about showing your dog in the show ring at dog shows and taking care of your Labradors health and etc.

I ordered this book but Amazon shipped me a different one. Customer Service will not return my emails to get it fixed.

I thought I'd say that as the owner of a sixteen-month-old female black lab I learned a lot of useful information from this book. It doesn't waste time, and always comes straight to the point: something I tried to do with this review.

This book had more information about labs than I've ever seen before.This is one great book to buy than rather buy 5 books on each of th contents.This book has a five star rating from me!
