Considered by many to be the perfect family dog, the golden retriever is known for its kind disposition, gentle demeanor, and strawberry-blond fur. In The Golden Retriever: All That Glitters, respected obedience instructor--and die-hard golden fan--Julie Cairns celebrates the breed and gives readers even more reasons to respect this lovable dog. From choosing, caring for, and living with a golden, to breeding, showing, and field training, Cairns"s valuable advice--both informative and entertaining--is coupled with full-color photographs and line drawings throughout, making this delightful book as much fun to look at as it is to read. --Jennifer Pugh
