Reviews From Labrador Owners:

“I was sceptical about the merits of this book when bought in preparation for the arrival of 8-week-old black lab Loki. It’s actually a brilliant book/manual, very readable & loaded with really helpful & important info about every stage of your Labrador’s development & needs. It is permanently on our kitchen worktop & consulted almost daily,”

“Excellent book on Labs. Depicting a base of what to know before taking the step into "Labdem". Giving health & personalities, feeding, & all the other aspects of owning a dog. Clean & detailed explanations of each with referrals. I am on my third Lab, a yellow male at 8 weeks as I write this, & what a dog he will be with the help of this book & patience,”

“A great book for new labrador owners like ourselves. I like the fact it gives real-life experiences from seasoned labrador owners. Bella seems to like it too, as there are already teeth marks on the cover...lets turn to the chapter to stop puppies biting!”

“Such a wealth of knowledge & information. Easy to read, well laid out & full of relevant tips & facts for every step of life with a Labrador,”

“We are long-time Lab owners & our current Lab, Wrigley is #8 for us…we thought we knew a lot about the breed, but Linda Whitwam has written a really great book that all Lab owners & lovers should keep on their bookshelf. Even though Labs are an awesome breed, they are also complicated, so it's always good just to pick up the book & learn things about the breed that we never knew before,”

DAN H., USA

“As parents to a puppy Labrador, this book feels like a comprehensive guide to all things Lab. The author managed to capture almost every facet of our guy's demeanor & Lab quirks, & offer helpful tricks & suggestions. Thank you for a great resource!”
