Vickie Lamb has raised and trained her own dogs to top field titles and she has written for Retriever Journal, Just Labs, and other dog magazines. She lives in West Texas..

“I have seen Vickie Lamb’s dogs work, I have seen the high regard in which she’s held by her peers—trainers, trailers, and trial judges—and have been editing her copy at The Retriever Journal for going on a decade, and her depth of knowledge always pleases us at the magazine’s editorial office . . .

“If you read and follow her advice in this book, you’ll end up with a trained dog, one that will hunt to your gun, one that will make you a fine companion at home, and on that will make you proud for years.” —Steve Smith, Editor, The Retriever Journal, The Pointing Dog Journal
