Must-read for new Labrador owners (and even old ones)

I always keep a few copies of this excellent, readable manual on hand and send one home with each puppy that leaves my kennel, together with a toy that has been in the nest. This makes for a much easier transition for both the new "parents" and the baby.

A 'Must Read' before getting your puppy!

This book is a definite for anybody who's going to get a Lab puppy. Don't think because you've owned a dog before qualifies you with knowledge to raise a Lab because it does not. I strongly recommend reading this before getting your puppy.

DID YOU KNOW THAT A LAB ACTUALLY "SMILES"?....BUT IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS, YOU MIGHT THINK HE/SHE WERE SNARLING! THE FRIENDLIEST AND MOST INTELLEGENT BREED OF DOG REALLY DESERVES THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE OWNER! IF YOU LOVE YOUR PUPPY/ADULT LAB, YOU OWE IT TO HIM/HER AND YOURSELF TO READ THIS EXCELLENT MANUAL.
