"I really loved this book. It contains everything I needed as a first-time Golden Retriever owner, but I think it is equally useful for more experienced guardians who already share their life with a Golden. I particularly enjoyed all the personal experiences described in the book in a funny manner.", J. HILL - US
"This is a must-have book for all prospective Golden owners. Comprehensive, practical, easy-to-follow and well-written. It was a gift from a close friend who knew I was planning to buy a Golden and told me it has all I need to know. Boy, he was right.", D. MOORE - US
