Must Have Book!!!!,
By Kevin R. Michaud (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Idiot's Guide to Labrador Retrievers (Mass Market Paperback)
What can I say about this book? Except that it was very informative and that it was very fun to read. I learned ALOT from this book. I would definately recommend it to all my friends and would-be dog owners. I've read 3 books about Labrador Retrievers and if I had to choose only one...I would choose this book over all of them. Very pleased and worth what I paid for.

Entertaining & Informative Primer On Labrador Retrievers!,
By Barron Laycock "Labradorman" (Temple, New Hampshire United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Complete Idiot's Guide to Labrador Retrievers (Mass Market Paperback)
Regardless of the title to the contrary, this is not a book for idiots, but rather a no nonsense nuts and bolts primer for the new caretaker of a the best dog breed yet devised by the Heavens; the Labrador Retriever. As someone who shares his house and life with four of God's single most nearly perfect craeature, I can testify as to the accuracy and relevance of all the information in this wonderful compendium. It is a literal treasure trive of data about how to raise and care for your new best friend, and it covers everything from potty training to kennel care. As a personal note, it is improtant to remember how sensitive Labs are, that one never ever strikes one, and that gently scolding them will get you the reaction you want much more efficiently than would any unjustified corporal punishment. Just remember, friends, there are really no bad dogs; only ignorant and incompetent people trying in vain to train the dogs. What you need to avoid such pitfalls is all here! Enjoy!
