this book has great pictures, lots of information and was very helpful to me.It touches on many aspects of the breed and gives the new or prospective owner lots to think about. I buoght it before purchasing my second golden. Children ages 10 and up can also enjoy this book.

I found this book very interesting.There were very helpful articles about health and training of Golden Retrievers. All Golden Retriever owners should buy this book as a pocket book.

Whether you're considering getting a Golden or you already have one, this is a useful and fun book to read. It's informative, up-to-date, easy to understand and inexpensive. Definitly worthwhile.

This book was purchased for me shortly after I bought my golden puppy. She is now 8 months old - I have refered to it extensively all through this new undertaking. The layout is the best I've seen, illustrated with "how to" photos and filled with relevent and needed facts and information. It is a quick and fascinating read, covering what you want to know. Each time I go through it, I find something I hadn't seen before.

If you want a purebred, but not sure which one to get, make sure you read the books by Bruce Fogle. This book covers such things as basic commands, crate training, first aid, breeding and so much more. The book isn't long and I found it so helpful.

A fully illustrated, step-by-step guide for caring for and loving your Golden Retriever. Discover the history and specific physical traits and temperament of this wonderful dog. This book is written by a practicing veterinarian, Bruce Fogle, DVM.

Golden Retriever (359/1)

I found this book very helpful. It has graphs that have trainability, house trainability, etc. that compares them to different breeds. It is quite useful in the training section too. It also has a history on the dog, and just about everything you want to know about Goldens.

I was disappointed in the contents of the book. I expected more details on how to handle puppy problems and more specifics on the Golden Retriever breed vs other breeds. It was too general and I did not learn much having owned two other Goldens it did not offer any benefit to me.
