Description - Golden Retrievers for Dummies by Nona Kilgore Bauer
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.
