Out of the 10+ books I currently have on GR's this is BY FAR the best one. The pictures are incredible along with all the wonderful chapters discussing the many facets of the GR. Incredibly well written and designed. This is one book you will want to keep forever as a reference book and as a collectors edition. It also makes a super coffee table book, a birthday present, a Christmas gift, etc.

I would rate this as an excellent book on golden retrievers. The thing that sets it apart from other breed books is it covers more then just conformation dogs. Field dogs, hunt test, obedience dogs and physical assistance dogs are given equal consideration. I use this as a guide and photo reference to many of the great dogs in the breed. There is ONE problem with this book. When I lend it to someone, I have a devil of a time getting it back.

Covers every aspect of the breed and its accomplishments in the show ring, field, and home, as well as its utilization in detecting drug smugglers and arsonists. 480 pp. / 9x12 / 700+ color photos

I tend to go overboard when buying books on my favorite breed and have bought and read almost all the books listed here. This is my favorite of them all. It lists the great kennels in every aspect of the Golden community and has tons of pictures of specific individual dogs. This book will not leave my library. It has lots of information and great pictures. The price is high but it is worth spending the $.
