Everyone who works with a Labrador Retriever or wants to start working with one should become aware of the many possibilities this breed offers. The Labrador Retriever takes a look at the origin and history of the breed, as well as its outer appearance, senses, and inner drives and personality traits. With this understanding as a foundation, we then explore the many training possibilities for the breed, including, of course, its original task as a gun dog, but also its great suitability as a service and detector dog. We end with notes about the health concerns of the Labrador and a discussion about caring for older dogs, once their formal working days are behind them. Whether you know the breed well or are just exploring your options for a working dog, we hope this book will provide the information you need.
