If you are to buy one book before purchasing your pet Labrador, make this 'That Book'. To read other books after this will leave you saying, "I knew that". Those looking at Labradors for Working or Hunting dogs will require additional purchases; But for those looking at Labrador's for a Pet or Companion - this fact-filled manual will be all you need, and more.

The knowledge gained from having this book on your shelf, coupled with the price you paid to get it there, guarantees everybody wins...the biggest winner being 'YOUR LAB'.

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.

INFORMATIVE AND EDUCATIONAL. EASY READING!

THIS BOOK IS TRULY AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL FOR ALL NEW LAB OWNERS. REALLY A "MUST-READ"! THIS BREED OF DOG IS SPECIAL ENOUGH TO WARRANT READING THIS BOOK. 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.

Excelent guide for new owners on understanding their Labs

This book helps you to know your pet better, specially if you are new with Labradors, is very specific on how to train your dog the basic commands (sit, stay, come, heel, down), for a good communication with your pet, saving you lots of troubles and avoiding undesirable behaviors from it. Good explanation on how to train the retrieving game.
