Its wonderfully sound temperament, gentleness and loving nature make it the ideal pet for all the family and it will take part enthusiastically in any activity that you want: showing, obedience and gundog work amongst others. This book is comprehensive in its coverage of the Golden Retriever. As well as breed history and a full explanation of showing and working Retrievers, three chapters are devoted to care of the dog at all stages of its life plus further chapters on health and homeopathy.
