REVIEWS FOR THE GOLDENDOODLE HANDBOOK:

This is the most complete & well-researched book on Goldendoodles on the market. I will recommend that all of my doodle families, especially the new ones, buy this book & read every page,” LYNN WHITMIRE, SOUTH CAROLINA, USA

“An outstanding, detailed guide to raising a Goldendoodle puppy & living with it in your forever home for many happy years. Though I have had many dogs (some rated Champion Companion Dogs by AKC) I learned a great tip yesterday! I have now tweaked my "Speak & Shush" process for my 5 year old Google who just started barking at people coming to the front door. Google & I are very glad to have this reference book on our shelf!” GALE W. SHERMAN, USA

This book is a must-have for Goldendoodle parents. In contrast to some of the other books on Goldendoodles, the Goldendoodle Handbook truly is a thorough guide to owning and caring for your doodle - from enjoying (and surviving) early puppy-hood to those final precious moments... and every step in-between,” JAINFISH, USA

“Sit. Stay. Then read this book for everything you need to know about your Goldendoodle, BETH STEBNER, USA

Christy Stevens, Winding Creek Ranch Goldendoodles: "I had no idea this book was going to be so big when I ordered it! It's a very substantial book that is just packed full of anything and everything Goldendoodle. I'm not sure what more author Linda Whitwam could have included! This is definitely the most comprehensive Goldendoodle book I've ever come across. If you are interested in, planning to adopt or already own a Goldendoodle, you need to add this book to your library. As a breeder, I will definitely be recommending this book to all of my clients.

Laura Chaffin, Cimarron Frontier Doodles: "This is the most thorough book on Goldendoodles that I have ever come across. It talks about what to look for if you are getting a puppy. Also how to feed, train, exercise, and care for the health of your Goldendoodle. Even how to care for your senior doodle.
And this book is big! The price is great for such a big book, so if you are considering getting a Goldendoodle, or if you already have one and want lots of information at hand, order this book and enjoy!"
