Gun-Dog Training: Spaniels and Retrievers by Kenneth C Roebuck (Book)

by Kenneth C. Roebuck.

This is the first book ever to devote itself exclusively to the flushing breeds as well as the first book to cover training retrievers for upland game work. Roebuck is careful to point out not only what the handler should do, but also what mistakes should be avoided. Going through the entire process of training from choosing a pup to such advanced stages as double and blind retrieves and steadiness to flush and shot, Roebuck remains as thorough and patient with the reader as he is when handling the many dogs that are brought to his kennels to be turned into finished hunters.

Over 100 photos and line drawings complement the author's direct, commonsense instruction, which will introduce both the beginning trainer and the experienced dog man to bringing his spaniel, or retriever, up to a standard of reliability and excellence beyond any previous expectation.
