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

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full

(Paperback)-In this complete book on retrievers and their training, we enter the world of Tom Quinn, one of America's most successful breeders and trainers of bird dogs. Quinn explains the methods he has used in developing a remarkable series of champion retrievers, including his first Labrador bitch, Nakai Anny, who won honors as Field Champion and Amateur Field Champion, and is a member of the Retriever Hall of Fame. THE WORKING RETRIEVERS covers every aspect of training dogs for hunting and field trials, from the beginning to the most advanced levels. The book also surveys the various retriever breeds--Labradors, Goldens, Chesapeakes, and others--and their histories. Quinn then takes us, step by step, through the training process. Also included is information on feeding, care, and transportation; breeding; buying and selling; and other matters of vital importance. Accompanied with photographs, line drawings, and a gorgeous, 16-page, full-color insert with both photographs and some of the author's own fabulous paintings, THE WORKING RETRIEVERS is an expert, comprehensive guide to be cherished by all who love retrievers. It belongs on every outdoorsman's bookshelf.

User Reviews for The Working Retrievers: The Classic Book for the Training, Care, and Handling of Retrievers for Hunting and Field Trials

Overall Rating: Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Half ( 8 reviews )
  1. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full Posted: Jan 28 2009

    This is the third copy of Tom's exquisite book; he is the consummate gentleman whom I had the great pleasure of getting to know him at the Field Trials in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I have gifted his marvelous and thorough tome to some of my favorite people who have recently purchased black Labs -- I've had these wonderful animals most of my life and every time I start a new pup, I immediately turn to Tom's book for helpful tips and I always learn something new. It is a treasure that any retriever owner should add to his or her library! Having lost several of my beloved Labs, Tom's poignant eulogy provides some comfort for my distress, and I heartily endorse anything he writes (or paints, for that matter since he is such an accomplished artist.

    Good book I think. My grandson seemed happy to get it but I have not checked since he received it to see if it was helpful. Since it was a Christmas present I wish it had been hardback.

    The book starts out great and continues into valuable information. It is great information for any owner of a retriever.
