Golden Retrievers For Dummies

Golden Retrievers have long been among the most popular dog breeds in the United States, and this guide is written for the people who live with them. It is designed as a quick reference rather than a book to read cover to cover, so owners can dip into the chapters they need when a question comes up. Topics include choosing a breeder or rescue, selecting a healthy puppy, house-training and obedience, feeding and exercise, recognizing and treating common illnesses, and grooming. The book also looks at the breed's temperament and needs, and urges prospective owners to think seriously about the commitment before bringing one home.
