Absolutely the most thorough and understandable book on the fabulous Golden Retriever pup. There are many excellent books, magazines, and other articles out there, but this one tops them all. Ten years ago, when we purchased our first Golden, I did much in-depth research, deciding on which breed to buy. Now, after having purchased a new puppy, my "The Golden Retriever Puppy Handbook" arrived after-the-fact (I ordered it after I purchased the pup!). I am astounded by the author's knowledge of the breed. It's as if she knows our pup, his personality, traits, instincts and his habits personally. I cannot tell you how very comfortable and confident it makes me feel to have this book. I would rate it ten-stars!

Golden Retrievers now come with operating instructions

I have been the happy owner of a beautiful golden retriever for the past 16 months. Without the exceptional insights I gained from this Golden Retriever Puppy Handbook, my last 16 months would not have been so enjoyable. Every detail of how my golden retriever and I would predictably go through the process of adopting each other has been clearly explained by Ann Johnson in this handbook. There is no greater joy than awakening every morning regardless of the weather to spend an hour with my darling golden retriever. I am not sure that these days would have been as easy without this book. My recommendation to all of you who wish to find love waiting for you every day--check out the wisdom and insight of Ann Johnson and find a golden retriever to join your family--This handbook truly walks you though discovering the magic that only a darling golden retriever can add to your life. I look forward to reading your review of this handbook here in the near future.

The Golden Retriever Puppy Handbook

This book has been my best resource puppy guide to refer to regarding Golden Retriever puppies. The author has 30 plus years raising and breeding Goldens. It is a MUST read if you own or plan to own a Golden Retriever. Excellent!

oustanding, helpful, valuable information

I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to purchase a Golden Retriever puppy. There was so much extra information, not just the basics. I reference it all the time.
