Product Description
From Amazon
Considered by many to be the perfect family dog, the golden retriever is known for its kind disposition, gentle demeanor, and strawberry-blond fur. In The Golden Retriever: All That Glitters, respected obedience instructor--and die-hard golden fan--Julie Cairns celebrates the breed and gives readers even more reasons to respect this lovable dog. From choosing, caring for, and living with a golden, to breeding, showing, and field training, Cairns's valuable advice--both informative and entertaining--is coupled with full-color photographs and line drawings throughout, making this delightful book as much fun to look at as it is to read. --Jennifer Pugh

Average manual.,
By J. Connor "film and book fanatic'." (Palm Desert, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Golden Retriever: All That Glitters (Hardcover)
Another average pet manual released on the market. The only guide released should have been Nona Kilgore Baur's thick manual on this particular Retriever. This delicacy breed has manuals written about it that required so little time by a less insightful company over the years. Cairns did not need to bother writing this material, as it has been duplicated already in superior guides. Our household contains two juvenile Golden Retrievers in the process of house and outdoor training. This guide did not prove to be any help since we had already purchased Baur's guide. The reason so many books have been written over the years was to trivalize the popularity of variable books on this very special pet. Do not buy this if you already own "Golden Retrievers for Dummies" by Nona K. Baur.

Dogs as a competitive sport, no!,
By Geoff Puterbaugh (Chiang Mai, T. Suthep, A. Muang Thailand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Golden Retriever: All That Glitters (Hardcover)
I do not intend to raise my puppy as a contender in any competitive sport whatsoever, unless it be lying around in the sunlight and watching butterflies flap their wings.I intend to enjoy our life together.
