The Pointing Labrador: Getting the Most from You & Your Dog

by Paul Knutson, Paul Knutson

Pointing Labrador retrievers are rapidly becoming a very popular sporting breed. Just as comfortable sitting patiently in a duck blind as they are coursing through upland fields, pointing Labradors are now known as all-around bird dogs. This book outlines everything that needs to be done, from choosing the right puppy and the basics of obedience, to training a top-notch pointing Labrador. Photographs complement the thorough descriptions of training techniques, and topics as varied as how dogs really perceive the world to which drills and routines are productive are explained.
