Product Description

Synopsis
The golden retriever's friendly disposition makes it ideal as a pet, and its glamorous good looks find favour in the show ring. Biddable and easy to train, it is also used as a guide for the blind. This book includes the specialized areas of gun-training, agility, working and obedience tests.

From the Inside Flap
The Golden Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the world. A friendly, outgoing disposition makes him an ideal pet, his glamorous good looks find favour in the show ring, and his retrieving abilities make him an excellent shooting companion. Biddable and easy to train, the Golden Retriever is a successful competitor in canine sports, and is used as an assistance dog, helping blind and disabled people to lead fulfilling, independent lives. In Golden Retrievers Today, author Valerie Foss traces the origins of the breed from its ancestral home in Scotland. Advice is given on choosing a puppy, depending on whether you are looking for a pet, a working dog or a show dog, and there is guidance on basic training and socialisation. Caring for a Golden is described, with information presented on feeding, grooming and exercise. A chapter on health care provides details of first aid, preventative health care, and breed ailments. The Breed Standard is analysed, and there is illustrated coverage of preparing a Golden Retriever for the show ring. For those who are interested in training, the specialised areas of gun training, agility, working tests and obedience competitions are highlighted, with breed-specific training tips to help you get the very best from your Golden. For the expert, there are chapters on breeding - from choosing breeding stock through to mating, whelping, and rearing a litter. Lavishly illustrated with over 100 photographs and line-drawings, Golden Retrievers Today is essential reading for all enthusiasts of the breed.
