labradore books

This is a pritty good book about labradores. It teaches you the basic stuff about them. It also teaches you what their specialties and habits are. It has some pritty good information about their lives, and if you owned a lab i recomend checking this book out!

Hmmm ?

The text is good & well researched, but only if you are looking for an indepth history of the breed ... it's a book that requires careful reading to bring out the best ...The Editorial Review by Dr. Bernard W. Ziessow provides a very precise summary of its content, read the Editorial Review and make sure the book serves your purpose and interest before committing to a purchase.As far as the photography goes, the book doesn't quite make the grade, there are several coffee tables books on the market that contain much better photographs of Labradors ...

FOR THE LOVE OF LABRADOR RETRIEVERS

The superb color photos of Labs led me to choose this book as a gift for a fellow Lab-lover. But I found I could not part with it bacause the text is equally captivating and one I want to refer to again and again. The author's very careful research and citations of source material befits the scientist he is; his delightful writing style entices the reader to continue reading to delve deeper into this historic puzzle. Hutchinson's conclusion is like the surprise ending of a mystery story - perfectly reasonable in light of the evidence and explanations presented, but still unexpected, and a fascinatingly different extension on the usual story. Buy two copies - one to give, one to keep!
