Everything you need to know about one of the world’s most versatile working dogs
Anyone who owns or works with Labrador Retrievers knows they are a special breed. Originally bred as a hunting dog in the nineteenth century, the Labrador Retriever is renowned for its intelligence, gentle ways, and adaptability. The same traits that allow the Labrador Retriever to excel as a hunting dog make it a versatile working dog. Its friendly disposition makes it one of the most popular family pets as well.
Expert trainers Resi Gerritsen and Ruud Haak take you on a deep dive into the origins and history of the breed before exploring the traits and characteristics that distinguish it. Then, they provide training basics for the Labrador Retriever to get you started, and they examine the wide range of service and detection tasks the dog is ideally suited for. If you work with a Labrador Retriever or want to start working with one, this book offers a valuable guide to the many possibilities this breed offers.
Dr. Resi Gerritsen and Ruud Haak are internationally recognized experts in training dogs for search and rescue, drug and explosive detection, and IPO Schutzhund. They are currently training directors and international judges for the International Rescue Dog Organisation (IRO) and the Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI).
