Look elsewhere...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Breed Basics, The Golden Retriever : A Comprehensive Guide to Buying, Owning, and Training (Breed Basics, 2) (Hardcover)
This book is geared towards hunting folks and not the general Golden owning public. I do not recommend it for a general book on the breed. The pictures are nice, though.

Basic categorization.,
By J. Connor "film and book fanatic'." (Palm Desert, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Breed Basics, The Golden Retriever : A Comprehensive Guide to Buying, Owning, and Training (Breed Basics, 2) (Hardcover)
Does not seem to have personal extraction information. Not the perfect referance for owners or prior purchasers. Text is basic categories for owners or hunting animals. The author does not explain creature maintainence or dietary supplements. This manual is incomparable to other, more insightful guides. This also applies to The Essential Golden Retriever, which has no technical hints and mediocre purchasing information. Some breed books are unequaled, but this particular publishing is sub par.
