”A superbly-written comprehensive collection of advice, information and ideas about the breed & beautifully illustrated with lovely photographs. Plenty of research has clearly gone into this book with so many quotes from reputable breeders. As an Assured KC Breeder of Labradors I have already added this Handbook to my suggested reading list for prospective puppy families, and can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in welcoming a Labrador into their family or those who already have one,” A. SHELTZ, UK
“This is the book I have been looking for. I have had only had Springer Spaniels. This is my first Lab & after reading this book I am able to understand why my Lab behaves the way he does. I would recommend this book to the first-time Lab owner & to veteran owners,” L. NORDENHOLD, USA
