Product Description
A fascinating and thorough history of Labs and the people who have developed and trained them over the years, this definitive new edition of a classic is by far the most beautiful and authoritative book on the subject. 36 full-color plates. 224 photographs.

Customer Reviews:
Fascinating book, great to add to collection of Lab books. November 6, 1997
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
This is a lavishly illustrated book that is just plain a treat for the eyes. It's also well written; slanted toward the working side of the breed and containing a few digs at the show breeders, it nonetheless offers up some good reading. The most controversial part of the book deals with Mr. Wolter's theory of the history of the Labrador (lost in the mists of time, so open to [wild] speculation), but the theory is interesting whether or not you buy it, and the photographs and supporting documents of interest. I like this book even though I have quibbles with parts of it and recommend it to people seriously interested in Labradors. If you're just looking for basic info on the lab, though, I would start with something else.
