I picked up this book to get some general information, and the content exceeded my expectations. Very thorough and comprehensive. I was able to learn about my goldens many facts that I had not known and was not aware I should know!! I would recommend this book to any golden owner, as it is, in my opinion, a very valuable general information and refereence book.

I am getting a golden retriever puppy and have been reading a lot of different books. This one really covers it all. I feel I can bring this puppy home and begin her training right away.
