REVIEWS:

“As a previous owner of Golden Retrievers now with a 7 month old bundle of energy, this book is the ideal handbook... Is this book useful? The honest answer is a resounding YES,” MR D. WELLER, UK

“A confidence builder of a book! Even though I have previously trained a wonderful Golden Retriever who passed away recently, I have felt anxious about the upcoming adoption of another puppy. This book has not only given me great advice, but also renewed confidence in my abilities to welcome, train, and enjoy life with a new companion. I recommend it highly," MICHAEL KELPE, USA

“I bought this after reading the other great reviews, and was not disappointed. Our puppy arrives in 2 weeks and I feel much better prepared having read just some of this book! I'm sure the book will be a valuable resource for years to come, as the chapters on health and Golden Oldies look great too,” HOLLY, UK

"This book has been my bible in terms of learning the do's and dont's of puppy care! I have my first puppy and this book is full of useful and relevant information. I use it as a resource daily. Highly recommend for a first time puppy owner,” MOMMY5, USA
