The BEST Lab Book
I just recently got a Yellow Lab Puppy and was given this book as a present. It is absolutely the best book on Labs. I have found answers to all the questions I have had about him and learned so much about the breed. I was able to take him to the vet with lots of intelligent questions about Lab specific diseases and problems. My vet was so impressed that she got a copy for herself.

A great book!
I think this is a great book! I got a puppy about 2 months ago. I didnt know what to do with my little lab until I got this book. this is information you can really trust. If you have a lab or are planning on getting one you'll see that you and your puppy will really benifit from this book! There isn't a better book out there about raising a Lab!

Nice Compendium Of Information On Labradors!
Here is an attractive entry by author Virginia Parker Guidry, abook that takes a loving look at America's singular and by far most popular wonder dog, the Labrador Retriever. As Berger points out so well, there are few other animals who draw such love from humans as a dog, and surely the Lab is the most loveable of the breeds. Here she presents the Labrador Retriever in all its wonder and does a yeoman service to the rest of us by enumerating all of the superb qualities the dog has to offer potential human enthusiasts. They are by reputation excellent working dogs, both as field dogs and as guide dogs for the disabled. They are also incredibly loyal, and the news services are often filled with wonderful and heartwarming stories of Labs crawling out on the ice to save their masters, often at considerable danger to themselves. Nonetheless, they stand by our sides.

Therefore, this book, "Your Lab's Life", is the ultimate tribute to the breed, and is chock-full with stories and photos that actively serve to substantiate what might otherwise seem as idle boasts and overethusiastic praise. In fact, for anyone who spends any time around Labs, like me, it is hard nto to use superlatives when describing them. More than one of the stories herein will bring a smile to your face, a tear to your eye, and the idea in your noggin perhaps it is time to consider getting one of these incredible creatures into you rlife, and that of your extended family. they boost the energy level in any room they enter, are incredible chick-magnets, and have been shown to reduce high blood pressure and dissipate depression through their mere presence. This is a wonderful book about what I believe to be the world's most nearly perfect living creature, the Labrador Retriever! Enjoy!
