Celebrate the most friendly, talented, and affectionate dog on the planet!
This Smart Owner's Guide to the Golden Retriever, created by the editors at Dog Fancy magazine, offers the useful and accurate information every dog owner needs to become a well-informed caregiver for their dog!
Illustrated with color photographs of adorable puppies and handsome adults, this easy-to-read primer is designed in a modern, lively manner that is user-friendly and entertaining to explore.
Every Smart Owner's Guide, including Golden Retriever, offers a description of the breed's character and physical conformation, historical overview, and its attributes as a companion dog. You'll find informative chapters on everything you need to know about acquiring, raising, and training this remarkable purebred dog! Explore essential information about finding a breeder and selecting a healthy, sound puppy; preparing for the puppy's homecoming, shopping for supplies, and puppy-proofing the home; house-training; veterinary and home health maintenance; feeding and nutrition; grooming, and more!
Obedience training for basic cues (sit, stay, heel, come, etc.) and solving potential problem behaviors (barking, chewing, aggression, jumping up, etc.) are addressed in separate chapters, as are activities to enjoy with your new dog, including showing, agility, therapy work, and more.
Entertaining tidbits and smart advice fill up colorful sidebars in every chapter, called "It's a Fact," "Smart Tips," "Notable & Quotable," and "Did You Know?" Real-life heroes and rescue stories are retold in full-page features called "Pop Pups" and "True Tails." Dog-safe recipes, training, and care tips are highlighted in the "Try This" feature pages.
The Smart Owner's Guide series also offers an online component in which dog owners can join a breed-specific online club hosted by dogchannel.com. At Club Gold, Golden Retriever caretakers can find forums, blogs, and profiles to meet and interact with other breed owners, as well as helpful charts and checklists to download. Along with over 20,000 pages of solid information, there's a host of fun to be had at the club in the form of downloadable Golden-specific screensavers, games, quizzes, and e-cards to send to friends and family!
The Resources section of Golden Retriever includes contact information for breed-related organizations and rescues, as well as practical guidance on traveling with dogs, identification, and locating qualified professionals to assist the dog owner, such as pet sitters, trainers, and boarding facilities. This information-packed Smart Owner's Guide is fully indexed for ease of use.
Sweet, affectionate, and happy-go-lucky, it's no wonder the Golden Retriever is one of the most popular and precious dog breeds in America! From family pet to retrieving expert, the one-of-a-kind Golden does it all.
