[.ca] Golden Retriever Handbook, The (ISBN 0764112376)

A Goldmine of Information!:
The Golden Retriever Handbook fills a niche for owners and breeders who are tired of the same elementary information offered in breed books but who are not interested in reading pedigrees or a kennel-by-kennel history of the breed. Instead it provides in-depth state-of-the-art information about Golden retriever medicine and physiology, hereditary health problems, nutrition, genetics and behavior--information that can make you an expert at caring for your dog. But it's not all work; there's information on training for field work, and an introduction to hunting tests, field trials, obedience trials, agility trials, and conformation shows. And of course there's just some fun stuff so you can have a good time with your dog. The text is intersperced with stunning photos of Goldens in action (no page after page of boring show photos!) and even enough information about record-setting Goldens to get you motivated to best them. It is the complete Handbook for making the most of your life with a Golden.

The book is okay, but that's it:
I just bought my first Golden Retriever in March and promptly ran out to buy every book I could find on this wonderful breed. And read several more! This was my least favorite book on the subject. It has beautiful photography, no doubt, but not enough useful information on the breed. I had much better luck with other titles.

An excellent book about Golden Retriever.:
This one of the best book I've ever read about GR. It give me a good information on purchasing, training, feeding, health problem, and much more. But there is 1 problem. The book doesn't tell the information on housebreaking. I strongly recommended this book for those who wants to buy Golden Retriever and for those who wants information on Golden Retriever.

Advanced handbook.:
The personnel publishing this manual have contrinuted thought to the patrons that have recently purchased this animal. Contains explanatory categories, insighting assistance for maintainence and essential divisions. This particular guide is more advanced than it's annotated predecessors, which are not recommended in the economical area. Category fluency at it's peak, no truncating to produce a shorter, less fluent, inexpensive hardback. D. Coile, without slightest doubt, has expertise in animals and other natural lore. Chronologically a towering example, an economical and cheap purchase and most likely well spent publish.
