 The Working Labrador - £10.53
A good broad book that takes you through the theory of puppies, to how to choose a good one and then what to do when you get it...a relaxed and laid back style - could possibly do with simple summarise at start/end of each chapter to make it easier to focus time, however worth the money.
|  Labrador Retriever (Best of Breed) - £5.99
A great book covering all aspects of the Labrador Retriever over eight chapters and 148 pages. Written by someone who obviously loves the breed and its easy to read with a nice layout and plenty of lovely pictures.
Negative comments are relatively minor. Could have done with a little more on first aid; some pictures/diagrams would be good. Perhaps a bit more on dog training; though there a resonable fair amount on it. The section on the breed standard was pretty boring but then I'm not that interested in this but probably very good for people interested in showing/ breeding. Finally it had no index; just content page.
Overall a very nice book to have read and own. Its not the only book we bought when we got our adult Labrador (a few on training and behaviour) but a very good book coverign a lot of ground.
