Summary: A condensed, informative manual for the new puppy owner.
Review: This book is a comprehensive manual of practical information for the beginning or novice pet owner. Ms. Agresta presents her material in an organized fashion, starting with the history and development of the breed, from its origin to the Labrador retriever today. She speaks from a personal point of view, reflecting her years of experience distilled down to a brief form. All the basics are covered, with helpful drawings and photos in support. She covers health care, first aid, orthopedic problems, and other practical issues. A wide range of breed examples are presented, representing various ages and types. The third section of the book includes chapters written by experts in their own fields, addressing basic training in various fields, such as obedience, field trials, hunt tests, herding, and agility, and most importantly, the Labrador retriever in the family home. Each subject is presented briefly, but positively, with information, encouragement and guidance to the reader. The author offers lists of recommended reading covering a wide range of subjects. I would recommend giving it to new puppy owners.
