As a long time ANKC breeder of Goldens I’d like to say how much I enjoy this book especially for new owners of a golden puppy .The book will be an essential part of my puppy packs . It covers everything a new owner needs to know . A wonderful resource !
I love my GR Puppy book, full of useful information. I think the book is great, being an Australian guide, very relevant.
I plan to leave the book on my coffee table, as no doubt I will be referring to it a lot.
This book is so well put together for the new puppy person. It will be part of my puppy packs for sure. What an amazing resource to have on hand. I can not recommend this book enough.
This book is a great Australian asset for Golden Retriever fans. Even the 7 year old human child has been able to learn from it.
This book was a great addition to my puppy pack for new owners from my last litter. All the new owners loved the book as do I. A great resource of information for all new puppy owners, full of hints and tips in raising a brand new puppy. Highly recommend this book.
Congratulations Jane on the outstanding success of this book. As a dedicated breeder I am so excited to have this resource to give to my new puppy families. Every page is excellent right through to the back page on Socialisation. Claire, Ivylock Golden Retrievers
