 Comprehensive - Very Valuable If This Is Your First Golden April 8, 2005
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I am a Golden Retriever owner and lover. This book is very valuable to first time Golden Retriever owners. It covers all of the basics of having a Golden live with you. It has comprehensive coverage of the puppy period. Always remember, your dog is very intelligent and if he could speak language you would be amazed at his intelligence. Even though your dog does not speak language, it does not mean that he has any lack of intelligence. His intelligence is just of a different type than human intelligence.

I am a Director of the Golden Retriever Institute (<a href = "http://www.GoldenRetrieverInstitute.com">http://www.GoldenRetrieverInstitute.com</a>) - one of the world's leading organizations engaged in research into the welfare and training of Golden Retrievers.
I can tell you from my experience that this book should be required reading for anyone who is thinking of purchasing a Golden Retriever or already has one.
The book does an excellent job of covering the basics of taking care of, maintaining and training Golden Retrievers.
The sections on taking care of your Golden Retriever's health and ensuring that it has a long and healthy life are some of the best I have ever seen in books of this genre.
And the Part of Tens will give you dozens of ideas regarding fun things you can do with your dog.
Strongly recommended.
 Solid "Dummies" entry. July 3, 2004
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
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 December 12, 2003
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
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!
Outstanding for the first time puppy owner October 23, 2003

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.
