THE RETRIEVER: ITS POINTS MANAGEMENT TRAINING and DISEASES. By Frank Townend Barton. M.R.C.V.S. A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT Originally published in London 1907, this scarce early work on the Retriever is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have now republished it using the original text and artwork as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. One hundred and thirty four pages contain seventeen detailed chapters: - General Management. - External Parts and Conformation. - The Flat-Coated Retriever. - The Labrador. - The Curly-Coated Retriever. - Management of the Stud Dog. - Care of Brood Bitch and Rearing Puppies. - Breaking Retrievers. - Liability of Breakers and Trainers. - Diseases and Injuries affecting Retrievers. (9 chapters) etc. The author was a highly respected breeder of the day and wrote several other important dog books. This is a fascinating read for any Retriever enthusiast or historian, andalso contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest dog breed books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Retriever
I really enjoyed the information in this book. Both scientific and anecdotal, it gave me much insight into the relationship between my dog and me, and the world around him.
It was funny in parts, and a little sad in others. Most of the scientific/physiological information was illustrated with stories of her own dogs. She's a very good story teller. Even the complicated info was explained very well, and with vivid examples from the dogs on her farm, and various clients' dogs that she has trained over the years.
I learned to read my dog's body language better, and I can see that there are some things I do that my dog merely tolerates in order to stay close to me. I learned to read other dogs we come in contact with, and how to handle potential problems before they arise. How fights from fear, jealousy, or dominance can be avoided by paying attention to the the tell-tale signs that previously I might have mis-read differently.
I will definitely read this again, because I know I didn't soak it all up the first time.
