Summary: 5 Stars all the way
Review: To the person who gave the 2 star review. C'mon, what are you thinking...this is a $10-$15 book, and you are expecting it to go into fine details about the breed.I'll tell everybody this...this is an excellent book, and it does go into details about the breed. I'm sure you can go buy a $50 book that goes into more detail, but you get the most bang for your buck with this book. It is highly informative, and I would recommend it to novice/experienced dog owners. I guarantee you'll love this book!!!

Summary: Great starter guide, but by no means comprehensive
Review: We are six months into life with our labrador, and there is no question that things were made much easier by having this book, if only to reassure you that you are doing the right thing. I would have liked it if the book had been a little more forthcoming on the drawbacks of owning a labrador. Not that I would have changed my mind about buying one, but it would have been nice to have been prepared for the problems of shedding, and the slow maturity, etc. On the other hand, the book is small and [inexpensive], and never claims to be a comprehensive guide. If you are thinking about taking the plunge, this book covers 80% of the information that you need to know, but I would strongly recommend that you find the rest of the information through an internet search. This book calls itself a Complete Pet Owner's manual, but it isn't. But, given the low price, the book is good value.
