Title: Mis-information
Review: I picked this book up and flipped open to a page where the author discusses health problems in retrievers. He compares the relatively healthy Flat-Coated Retriever to the Labrador, which has more health problems, and states correctly that the Labs have been bred with less care and attention to health concerns. HOWEVER, he states that the Labs and Flat-Coats are essentially the same dog except for the length of coat. This is absolutely not true. Although they originated similarly, both have been bred separately with the introduction of diverse breeds into their backgrounds. If the author has not bothered to research this, and makes incorrect statements based on his lack of research, how can I trust any information contained in the book?
