Labrador Retriever (Animal Planet Dogs 101) - Hardcover

Dogs 101: Labrador Retriever will explain everything you need to know about caring for your Lab, including breed characteristics, essential supplies, grooming, health issues, training and activities. 
My once-in- a-lifetime dog was a Labrador, Tank. Officially: U-CD Tiger Mountain's Yellow Gold, CD, JH, CGC. This book is dedicated to him and the countless hours of fun we had together. I made some of the best friends and had some of the happiest times of my life with this dog. We trained and competed in obedience, agility and for hunting tests. He accompanied me as I rode the trails of Tiger Mountain, and we spent countless hours just hanging out together. He was everything a Lab should be, but he was also a tremendous challenge. A combination of field and show breeding, he was whip smart and full of energy until his dying day. 
Today that adventure continues with Angus, a black Lab that shares my life.
One thing you can count on with a Lab, and that is lots of laughs. Some of the anecdotes included in this book give you a peek at what life with a Lab is all about.
Labs have been the number one breed in the Untied States for the last 20-plus years, and with good reason. This book will help you get off to a great start with your new best friend. 
Thank you to the many people who helped me in my research for this book, including Edith Bryan, Julie Cantrell, Don and Barb Ironside, Nina Mann, Angie Meeks, Sarbit Singh, DVM, and Frances Smith DVM, Ph.D.
