4.0 out of 5 stars
Updated for the 80's and early 90's.,

This review is from: Labrador Retrievers Today (Hardcover)
Carol Coode, a breeder of Labradors in Britain has produced a book that brings the reader up to date on the Labrador Retriever. At the time of publication, there was an approximate 10 year gap from the last breed book published. Ms. Coode provides an excellent overview of the dominant kennels breeding Labrador Retrievers in many countries. She also supplies chapters on the care and training of the Labrador Retriever
4.0 out of 5 stars
Good, solid info,
This review is from: Labrador Retrievers Today (Hardcover)
I like this book. It gives a slightly different perspective on caring, raising and training your Lab. Coode knows about the Labrador Retriever and share her toughts in an easy and understandable language. I like the point of view which is a bit different compared to the American point of view on topics like training and kennel maintenance. I do not believe it's a five stars book because of the pictures, they are all black and white, but they are all good though. Nice overview of influential kennels. I really like all the information this book offers. Recomended for Lab lovers, not for general public eventhough the info applies to many types of dogs.
