While I would not make this the single book I used to learn about and train a Labrador Retriever, it is indeed a quite serviceable treatment of the subject, and used in conjuction with another good book such as Richard Wolper's "Family Dog', can be an excellent reference resource for the neophyte Labrador person. The most improitant aspects of choosing, procuring, and settling your new canine family member into the fold are all covered here, as are a number of improtant other aspects of being thoughtful and helpful caretakers of Labradors.

One thing I would personally stress is that the new owner always use a kennel or crate in which to let the dog feel secure as his little private personal space, a retreat where he can eat, sleep, or watch his new humans as they go about their puzzling life activities. Knowing he or she is safe in the crate when you leave the house is comforting, and the dog is saved from making harmful or mischievous choices in your absence. And, of course, ensuring you take care to get proper vet care for you rnew friend is critical as well. This book offers some sage advice, and is a great bargain considering its value to the process of welcoming your new Labrador Retriever! Enjoy!

After reading this book I realized I have a great dog and the book helped me to understand him and the right way to care for him. He is a 30lb baby right now but will get alot bigger by the time he is full grown. This is a great book&recommended reading for anyone with a lab.
