For the past decade, the Golden Retriever has ranked among the five most popular breeds registered with the AKC, with more than 65,000 Goldens registered every year. The Golden Retriever’s personality is as golden as his outer coat. He was bred to please, and please he does. He started out as a hunting partner who delivered birds to hand and has evolved into modern times delivering whatever suits his owner’s fancy. Because Golden Retrievers were originally bred to work in tandem with humans, they are also highly trainable.

Customer Review: Book for dummies.
This book is for dummies. That is true. The thing is that after reading this book you are still dummy. That what's the point in reading it?
Customer Review: A MUST HAVE!!
I had planned on using this book as a quick reference when I bought it a few days ago, but instead it was so well written that I read the entire book already. Very informative and really held my interest. I am re-reading certain parts again.
