Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book was recommended to me as a great book for overall information on retrievers. It not only covered growing up and loving your dog, but also topics from how to choose a good dog through derby training. It is an excellent reference guide for all owners with working retrievers. Another must-have for advanced training is "Training Retrievers to Handle" by D.L. and Ann Walters.
