Product Description

For the past decade, the Golden Retriever has ranked among the five most popular breeds registered with the AKC, with more than 65,000 Goldens registered every year. The Golden Retriever’s personality is as golden as his outer coat. He was bred to please, and please he does. He started out as a hunting partner who delivered birds to hand and has evolved into modern times delivering whatever suits his owner’s fancy. Because Golden Retrievers were originally bred to work in tandem with humans, they are also highly trainable.

Golden Retrievers For Dummies is intended for busy 21st century dog owners who don’t have time to sit down and read through 300 pages at a crack. This is a reference you can jump in and out of as dog questions rear their furry heads. This handy guide is also for you if

You own a Golden Retriever or thinking about getting one.
You′ve just brought home a Golden pup.
You want to find the best way to raise and train your Golden.
You want to help your Golde n to not just survive but to thrive.

Find out what it takes to own this active, intelligent, and friendly dog. Explore the Golden′s personality traits and living requirements. Discover which diseases are hereditary. This reference guide covers all the aspects of dog ownership, including:

Looking at breeders, rescue groups, and animal shelters
Adopting and caring for older dogs
Selecting a puppy with help from an established testing process
Dog–proofing your house and yard
Crate training, housetraining, and obedience training
Canine communication and growing pains
Feeding, exercising, and playing with your Golden
Dealing with illness, problem behavior, and treatment
Grooming for health and beauty

If you’re serious about this Golden business and not just caving in to the kids or some other wild impulse, follow the advice of responsible dog owners and breeders. Look deep into your dog–loving soul and carefully consider the big picture. Love alone is not enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable Advice for Owners, 23 Jan 2005

By	"jlmorrison3" - See all my reviews

We recently inherited a 5 year old Golden Retreiver. I immedietaly got on line and ordered a couple of books to help us along the way. As soon as this was delivered I sat and read all the relevant chapters of bringing up an adult dog and most of the advice was invaluable. A great book for a owners of this breed,it takes you from puppyhood to old age. It has easy step by step guides to training puppies and breaking bad habits of older dogs. The author of the book has had experience of this breed for many years. A must for all thoses families who are considering getting a Golden Retriever as this book will guide you every step of the way. A brilliant reference book, definetaly I book I will keep to hand.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very American, 4 Dec 2005

By	R. L. Barnes "Rob" (East Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The author knows her stuff about golden retrievers but makes no concession to non-Americans. There are quite a lot of pictures but most of the photographs are cute rather than informative. There should be more of the line drawings, they are much more useful.
