Cotton Pershall method. (portion title)

George, Bobby N., (author.). McIntosh, Michael, 1945-2010 (writer of foreword.).

Summary:

"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 words of professional trainer Bobby N. George, Jr. 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, and much more -- as well as fifty years of reminiscences about dogs, trainers, waterfowl hunts, and field trials."--Back cover.
