This review is from: The Labrador Retriever (Terra Nova Series) (Hardcover)

I just purchased this book at a local book store....I have just started reading it and I love it....the pictures are great and so far so is the book....It's easy to understand and it takes you from early puppy to adult dog with training problems....I would recommend the purchase of this book. p.s. If and when you are able to download this book onto your Kindle....you might think about the Free Training DVD inside the purchased book prior....just a thought.

This review is from: The Labrador Retriever (Terra Nova Series) (Hardcover)

I got this book as a Christmas present from my kids. I read it all in just 2 days! I love my black lab, and this book is so helpful! I wish I would have had this book before I even got my lab so I could have started certain advices sooner. It tells you everything you need to know about loving, caring for and living with these wonderful dogs!

This review is from: The Labrador Retriever (Terra Nova Series) (Hardcover)

I purchased about 10 books, and found that some are way better than others. This did not seem to be lab specific, at least most of it. Much of it seemed copy and pasted from other books in their series of books. This was overpriced, an less effective than some of the other books, including "Good Dog, Great Owners" and "My Smart Puppy" both of which were suprisingly good, even compared to breed specific books.
