Solid "Dummies" entry. Golden Retrievers for Dummies is a solid contribution to pet maintainence and care. The book is by an author who has owned numerous golden retrievers. It shows here in the text. However, there are dozens of Golden Retriever books on the market, and some say the text is uneven and lacks detail. Many would not recommend the Essential Golden Retriever because of the lack of important information. Well, all of these problems are solved! This book covers every essential fact for someone pondering getting a Golden Retriever. There are many categories to read, including vital health concerns, keeping your dog content, and feeding the correct dietary supplements. Another brief section is about coping with the loss of an animal, and caring for an elderly dog. Yet another talks about Hereditary & Behavior issues. Out of the dozens of books on dogs available, this, without a doubt, would be the unsurpassed choice. A great primer for potential Golden owners This is a great reference book for anyone who is looking to obtain a Golden. The topics are just what is needed to give the necessary information on everything from looking for a pup to caring for them into adult life. The text is easily understood and the instructions are informative without being too long and wordy. I had gotten several books from the library but found that this book contained more usable information than all of those combined. You can't go wrong with this one! Excellent Guide for First Time Dog Owners... If you've never had a dog before, like me, this book helps guide you in the right direction. It's got everything you need to know and is set up easily so you can find it right away. Excellent tips on training obedience, housetraining, and crate training. And thanks to this book, I can now feel confident that a Golden is definitely the right dog for me! The book is perfect for anyone interested in a Golden, or for anyone with a Golden puppy. I'd even recommend it to someone who was an experienced Golden parent! Even an old dog can learn new tricks, right? wealth of good information Having a 4 month old Golden puppy, I am finding this book to be a great source of information for even the smallest of questions I have about my puppy and the development stages she will go through into adulthood. Although this is my second Golden Retriever, I have forgotten alot of what it takes to raise a Golden from a puppy. I recommend this book to any new or soon to be owners of a Golden Retriever puppy. Outstanding for the first time puppy owner Just finished reading this great book, exactly what we wanted, a systematic approach. This is not a book on how to train your dog, which is great, that is a varied topic and should be left to another book. I think that any breeder should have this as required reading for your first puppy experience. See also:
