'In 1990, Cotton Pershall and Bobby George combined their expertise to bring this book to life, one that was 50 years in the making. In the opinion of many, nobody was more influential or had a greater impact on retrievers -- their training, handling, and breeding -- than Cotton Pershall. This book was a "command performance," because thousands of dog owners and trainers requested that Pershall's methods be set down for generations to follow. Through the eyes and words of professional Bobby George, that's exactly what happened. The book includes complete techniques and training guidelines for lining, marking, obedience training, play training, handling doubles and triples easily, land and water retrieving, the forced retrieve, techniques to make your dog a more effective waterfowl retriever, and starting puppies through finishing a dog -- as well as 50 years of reminiscences about dogs, trainers, waterfowl hunts, and field trials.
WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING:
"I could spin out a catalog of [Pershall's] accomplishments from now 'til duck season, but I can just as easily boil it all down to one word: Legend." --from the foreword by Michael McIntosh
EXCERPT:
The objective of this book is to give the would-be trainer a simple program by which a dog can be trained to a relatively high level of competency. There are no deadlines included here, and you can start a puppy with this program or you can start a year-old dog; the latter will just require more muscle and more patience.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Bobby George worked as a sports writer for several newspapers while honing his dog-training skills through long talks and afternoons in the field with the legendary trainer Cotton Pershall. At the age of 37, Bob traded his office for a truck and a dog trailer. He later began working with Bill Eckett's Blackwater Retrievers and, in 1991, he went on his own as a professional retriever trainer. He eventually returned to Blackwater Retrievers, and in 2004 the Blackwater dog NFC-AFC Dewey's Drake of Moon River won the National Retriever Championship. Bobby George and his wife live near Centerview, Missouri.
