I gave this book 5 stars due to two things: excellent, delightful pictures of golden retrievers in all sorts of places and the text
which must be read out loud to be appreciated. You won't get a vet's answer to these such questions as Why are Goldens always Napping?
Davis gives an answer that napping helps them avoid some potential while-awake danger and hey, people who nap a lot are a friendly lot and so are napping Goldens. No technical best-in-show tips here. But a fun,fun read and very pleasing photographs of those dogs who never really act like real dogs. And we love them.

This is a very good book--the pictures are great and worth the price of the book themselves. The "curious Golden Retriever behaviours" are basically curious behaviours of ANY breed of dog, with one or two exceptions, but still it was a very interesting book and it helps you to understand why your dog does some of the (somewhat disgusting ) things it does.

I gave this book as a Christmas present, and the family that I gave it to has read it multiple times! They love it! They go around the house saying "Oh, it is a Golden thing" about all that their beloved "Mollie" the Golden Retriever does!

I had really hoped to get some serious answers to some Golden 'quirks', instead I found this book to be cute and slightly entertaining, but not in the least informative. If you're seeking concrete information, this book is probably not for you. If all you want is a cute book about Goldens, then go for it and enjoy!

This book is very well written. I gave this book to my husband for Christmas. He is enjoying sharing wtih me and with others about things that goldens do! We both have learned some things as to why goldens do what they do? For example,why do goldens rebel when they are between one and two years old ? The answer is because they are essentially teenagers.
I would recommend this book to anyone that has a golden. There is never a dull moment with a golden in your household.

This book is a must for golden lovers. The pictures are fabulous, surpassed only by the quality of the writing. Each page is a treasure, and even if you already know "why Goldens do that" the writing invites you in, brings a smile to your face and a giggle to your heart. Delightful! It is a book that is a great coffee table book that people will pick up to read over and over again.

This is such a cute book on Golden Retrievers and a must have for anyone who owns one. It's not intended as a training book but an "ah ha!" book on why golden retrievers do all the cute and silly things that they do. It's great for kids and adults and wonderful purchase

I gave this as a gift to a friend who owns a Golden. He loved it. He's already passing it around to others to read.

We have three of these wonderful dogs and the pics and words have them nailed. The cover is a dead ringer for my youngest. I read it and want more Goldens. Great book!

This book is exactly what I thought it was. That's saying something because the way most things are hyped, especially books, these days you mostly think you know what you ordered and something else shows up.
