by Garry Wallace
Paperback from Pronghorn Press
ISBN: 1932636315
As you might expect, Biography of a Bird Dog is the story of a man
and his dog. But it is more than that, it's a memoir of not only of a puppy's
first year of life but of a man's appraisal of his own life and career
in a small town in Wyoming. As Ebenezer, his bird dog, is nearing the end
of his hunting career, the author decides to add a new puppy to the family
with the intention of using all he has learned to train her to achieve
the full potential of her breed, a process that turns out to be filled
with both joy and frustration. When tragedy strikes, he must re-evaluate
his own plans along with his dog's future. Many photos add to this heartwarming
story, making it a memorable experience for any dog lover, a story that
will be read and re-read for many years to come. |

Retrievers for Dummies
by Joel Walton, Eve Adamson
Book Description:
You have a picture in your head. A picture of yourself with your practically
perfect dog. You’ve always preferred big dogs, and your ideal
dog is sturdy, strong, and energetic. At the same time, you envision a
dog who is gentle and completely in tune to your needs, your whims, and
your every move. That perfect dog is likely a Labrador Retriever. After
all, the Labrador Retriever is the most popular dog in the United States,
according to American Kennel Club registrations. Labs are beautiful, friendly,
adaptable, easygoing, brave, loyal, dependable, and intelligent. What could
be better?
Labrador Retrievers For Dummies is a useful guide to have if you're
thinking of getting a Lab or even if you already own one. Perhaps you're
just curious about this popular breed. This handy reference is for you
if you want to:
Find out if a Lab suits your lifestyle
Know what to look for in Lab pups
Determine if a breeder meets high standards
Understand health and nutrition needs
Handle emergencies with a cool head
Train your dog with the lure-and-reward technique
Show off your Lab in competitions
You can live a fulfilling life with your Lab by making sure she is
socialized, healthy, and well trained. What better task for humans and
dogs than to be great companions for each other? However, you may need
some help in knowing how to get the most out of your relationship with
your Lab. This friendly guide offers that help with the following topics
and more:
Exercising your pup and older Lab
Choosing the right veterinarian
Exploring spaying/neutering
Keeping your Lab beautiful with good grooming
Helping your dog deal with divorce, a new baby, moving
Managing barking and whining
Housetraining your new puppy
Traveling to dog-friendly vacation destinations
Choosing a pet sitter or boarding kennel
Volunteering your lab as a therapy dog
Labrador Retrievers are big, energetic, and sometimes boisterous (especially
as puppies), and they don't take care of themselves. They need you. Don't
let them need you unless you're ready to be needed.

The
10-Minute Retriever : How to Make a Well-Mannered, Obedient and Enthusiastic
Gun Dog in 10 Minutes a Day
by John I. Dahl, Amy Dahl
Book Description: The 10-Minute Retriever reflects the authors'
belief that daily ten-minute training sessions best suit a retriever's
attention span and lead to rapid learning. This book is easy to use for
the absolute beginner and yet deeply informative for the serious student
of retriever training. The text has the information most needed by the
owner of a pet retriever: how to make it reliable obedient and well-mannered.
It also has the information for which amateur retriever trainers are clamoring:
how to force fetch, how to set up tests in the field, and how to use an
electric collar humanely and effectively. The emphasis of their training
method is on obtaining necessary control and good manners while maximizing
the dog's enthusiasm for its work by establishing training situations where
the dog desires to cooperate. Primary importance is placed on developing
and enhancing the desire to retrieve, from early puppyhood onward. The
method presented provides a solid foundation to the dog and owner continuing
to advance retrieve training (blind retrieves and competition). Concepts
and methods are illustrated with true dog stories. Difference between the
major breeds are described and adaptations are given for the different
breed personalities.

The
Ultimate Labrador Retriever, Second Edition
by Heather Wiles-Fone, H. Wiles-Fone
The Labrador Retriever is, in many ways, the dog with the ideal temperament.
A special blend of intelligence, honesty, and kindness has made it unrivaled
as the most popular dog in the world. Bred originally as a fisherman's
dog, the gentry were swift to see the potential in this sturdy retriever,
and the Labrador was adopted as a versatile gundog, retrieving game over
land and in water. Today, the Labrador is still highly prized as a working
gundog, but its intelligence and good nature have been put to many more
uses.
The Labrador is used worldwide as a guide dog for the blind, its excellent
nose has made it a first class arms and drug detection dog, and its gentle
nature has made it an ideal therepy dog. Quick to learn and eager to please,
the Labrador has also made its mark in the competitive sports of Field
Trails, Working Trails, Agility, and Obedience. The breed's handsome looks
ensure its success in the show ring, but perhaps most important, the Labrador
excels as the perfect companion dog. The Publisher
