Labrador Retriever: Your Happy Healthy Pet (2nd Edition)
A Labrador Retriever is an adorable bundle of black, yellow, or chocolate joy. No matter what color coat she sports, her versatility and temperament make her an equally wonderful guide dog, sporting companion, or all-around family pet. She greets each member of her human pack with enthusiasm, and her genuine love and zest for life are contagious. The Lab is a faithful friend, and after spending only a moment in each other’s company, you’ll find yourselves hopelessly devoted to each other.
Packed with full-color photographs, this fun and practical guide gives you everything you need to make your relationship with your best friend even better. Inside, you’ll find:
- Characteristics to look for when choosing a Labrador Retriever
- A list of supplies you’ll need before you bring her home
