The Classic Book for the Training, Care, and Handling of Retrievers for Hunting and Field Trials

In this complete and updated hunting dog training book of retrievers and their training, we enter the world of Tom Quinn, one of America's most successful breeders and trainers of these uniquely talented dogs. Quinn explains the methods he has used in developing a remarkable series of champion retrievers, including his very first trained Labrador bitch, Nakai Anny, who honors as a Field Champion, and is a member of the Retriever Hall of Fame.

The Working Retriever reviews aspects of the training of dogs for hunting and field trails, from beginning to the most advanced levels. In its earlier sections, this hunting dog training book surveys the various breeds of retrieving dogs - Labradors, Goldens, Cheasapeakes and others - and their history. Quinn then takes us, step by step, through the entire training process for the successive levels of trail competition and hunting.

Quinn also includes information on proper feeding, care, and transportation; breeding; buying and selling; and many other matters of vital importance in this hunting dog training book. Using photographs and line diagrams to illustrate the text, Quinn has written an expert, all-inclusive guide that is invaluable to the active retriever enthusiast. And finally, a gallery of sixteen pages in full color features Tom Quinn's paintings of retrievers and game birds, captured in rare sensitivity. In its entirety, The Working Retriever-with its combination of detailed and authoritative guidance, and an exceptionally rich visual treatment is a book to be cherished by all who love retrievers.
