Suggested Reading List & Training Resources

The following books offer the reader valuable information on breeding, training and/or handling of the Labrador Retriever based upon the principles and values embraced by Pigeon River Labradors.

Pigeon River Labradors is dedicated to producing a cooperative, intelligent and well-mannered gundog-what some would regard as a "natural" gundog rather than a highly controlled, "turn and burn" type retriever.

I prefer to refer to our gundogs as "The Respectable Gundog." The books listed below exemplify these values.
