The Golden Retriever is a trustworthy friend, a capable sporting dog, an enthusiastic obedience and performance competitor, and a devoted assistance dog. Her tolerance, sensitivity, intelligence, and playfulness make her an ideal companion for just about any type of family. The Golden truly is a dog to treasure--from her eager eyes and human-like smile down to her feathered, wagging tail.

Characteristics to look for when choosing a Golden Retriever

A list of supplies you'll need before you bring her home

Advice on grooming, feeding, and training

A reproducible pet-sitter chart to keep track of important information

A bonus DVD shows you that educating your Golden Retriever positively is easier and more fun than you think. You'll learn how to teach your furry friend basic commands and tricks, correct inappropriate behaviors, and understand her unique personality.
