Personal Review: Labrador Retrievers (Complete Pet Owners
Manual) by Kerry Kern
One of the aspects of this book that drew me in was its premise that the
Labrador Retriever is perhaps the single most agreeable and people-
oriented of all the domesticated breeds, the author shows the reader how
and why to care for God's most perfect earthly creature, the Labrador
Retriever! By showing us the degree to which the breed represents a
witch's brew of intelligence, honesty and loyalty to its human companions,
the author illustrates why the Labrador has become the single most
popular breed of dog in the world today. Labradors are sturdy creatures
indeed, bred for sporting use along the quicksilver shores of
Newfoundland, where the water temperatures and sea conditions require a
healthy dollop of strength and endurance, and those are qualities these
dogs have in spades. For any of us that have seen them at work or play in
the fields and in the water, their unique combination of physical attributes
and obvious intelligence makes them the ideal human companion. I should
know; I live with four of them! The proof of their adaptability to almost any
condition and their loyalty, intelligence, and unparalleled work ethic is
demonstrated by the wide use of them as guide dogs and as adjunct
partners for the physically handicapped. Stories of Labradors crawling out
onto the ice to save their masters are legendary, as are the tales of them
rescuing children from fires or from underneath rubble. Never has there
been a dog superior to them. The author has recruited a wide variety of
experts to testify as to the qualities and abilities of the dog, and one walks
away from a reading of the book much better informed as to the all of the
many qualities and capabilities of the breed, which seems to represent an
astonishing list of useful and worthwhile attributes. We also get quite
critical information as to what to look for when choosing a lab, and how to
analyze the quality of the puppy you see before you. The author offers a
compendium of information regarding genetics, feeding, health care, and
inherited dispositions, as well as some sage advice as to how to ensure
your puppy becomes the grown up Labrador companion you will come to
view as another family member. This is a great book, and one I heartily
recommend! Enjoy!
