Book recommendations for Labs

[Wyo.Lawyer]

Hey all--

Thanks for the warm welcome today. Leia and I just got back from a nice walk and while walking I was thinking about getting a book. Kind of like an "all about Labs" book.

I (or my family growing up) have owned various dogs, but never a Labrador.

Do you all have any recommendations that you found particularly helpful? I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you!

I like "Positive Gundog Training" by Robert Milner.

We read Tom Dokken's books for Hunting Training, and watched a lot of youtube videos.

Have you done something like a beginner obedience class? It may be very helpful! I am sure Tanya will chime in with some wonderful advice, she has a wonderful rescue and fosters a lot.

Lawless Labs - Good Dogs Gone Bad

Cute read on some of their antics.

Tom Quinn... Working Retrievers

A book of gorgeous dog and wildlife art (Quinn is an artist by trade but trained and competed his own Field Champions). It describes some training concepts, but that's not a major focus of the book (and some of it is dated). I found his research on the history of the 3 main retriever breeds and his essays on nature, habitat, hunting and hunting dogs were the best part of the book. It's a must.

Labrador Retrievers For Dummies is a nice introductory book.
