5.0 out of 5 stars
A facinating read and highly informative,
This review is from: Reaching for the Stars: Formerly Advanced Labrador Breeding (The Pure Dog Bred Series) (Paperback)
Learing about the five stages of the development of a dog breeder and exhibiter was mind boggling. Mary Roslin Williams is an excellent story teller and her knowledge cuts across all breeds. With the added information bringing the book up-to-date and adding famous dogs and breeders from around the world has made this book even more valuable.

The gospel according to Mary: how to breed Labradors!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Labrador Breeding (Hardcover)
The owner of the famous Mansergh Kennels, what Mary Roslin
Williams didn't know about Labrador Retrievers isn't worth
finding out.
In this book, the distillation of years of experience, Mary
ruthlessly dissects the business of building a better lab.
Her examination of what separates the mediocre breeding
program from the spectacular is required reading for any
serious student of the breed.
Beautifully written, this book spills over with Mary's
intelligence and tough-minded wisdom. Crammed with
inspirational photos of famous labradors, Plate 17 deserves
special mention. A head study of Fulbeck Flashing Stream,
it shows the perfect labrador head and expression. Also
lovely is the photo of Fabracken Georgie Girl.

A "Must Have" for the serious dog fancier.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Reaching for the Stars: Formerly Advanced Labrador Breeding (The Pure Dog Bred Series) (Paperback)
If you could only have one book to guide you as a serious breeder and/or canine judge, this would be it! All the knowledge, experience and wisdom is contained in this one book and all you have to do is absorb it. Don't be put off by her Laborador Retriever background, the information pertains to all breeds. I only wish I had read this book 10 years ago.
