Review

"This is a book for all of us who love retrievers regardless of breed."--Town Talk Newspapers

From the Back Cover

In the tradition of Just Labs and Just Goldens, Just Retrievers is a captivating new book celebrating all retrievers, regardless of breed. Just Retrievers is a heart-felt salute to those endearing yet sometimes perplexing "fetch dogs" that toil hard, play with cheerful abandon, love their masters without reservation, and never fail to fascinate us with their antics and heroics.Just Retrievers encapsulates the character - the virtues as well as the flaws - of these amazing canines, while providing an insightful story of who they really are and why they behave the way they do. The book's 200 superb color photographs depict adorable puppies, retrievers at home and afield, and capture a plethora of fetch dogs in performances and predicaments that retriever owners know only so well. (10 1/4 x 8 1/4, 146 pages, color photos)

5.0 out of 5 stars just fun, March 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Just Retrievers (Hardcover)

Some books are meant just for fun - this is one such with cute photgraphs of young puppies, clear, easily understood language and perceptive insight into retriever dogs. Cuddle up with your favorite four legged friend, a granchild (if you are so lucky - if not borrow one) and enjoy. This is a good book for reading to young children - it treats a topic of virtualy endless interest to them in a way that helps them (and you) to expand their competency on topic while enjoying the experience - The perfect coffe table gift for lovers of retrievers.
