I found this book very imformative without being over done. It was exactly what I was looking for in a first time book on Golden Retrievers. I highly recommend this book if you are considering puchasing a GR or at all intersted in this breed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Thin, mediocre manual., July 9, 2004

By	J. Connor "film and book fanatic'." (Palm Desert, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

No extraction information from purchasers or medical veternarians. (Not anticipated for this type of guide.) One of the more mediocre and sub par publishings on sale. This book is not overly technical in a matter, however not the basic lore a beginning purchaser may need to progress to the more advanced handbooks. The author has not likely obtained enough research for complexity to please most critics in modern day style. To put it rather briefly, the one manual worth the expense would be Nona K. Baur's guide, which contains better categorization, specifics, and overall quality. This is the only manual most definetely worth the expense and payment.

This review is from: Golden Retrievers: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Diseases, Behavior, and Breeding (Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)

It is an extremely awful & boring books that I had read. The content was very 'rubbish', please don't buy this book.It's waste your money and more important, it's waste your time, too.
