THE WORLD OF THE GOLDEN RETRIEVER: A DOG
FOR ALL SEASONS
by Nona Kilgore Bauer
 
Review by Edell Schaefer
Almost 500 pages in length, and sporting over 700 full color
photographs, this is the most comprehensive book written on
the Golden Retriever to date. One can only imagine the amount
of research and dedication that went into the development of
this book. Chapters cover this history of the breed, the standard,
conformation, obedience, field, working certificates, hunting
retriever tests, tracking, agility, assistance and service
dogs, search and rescue, therapy dogs, guide dogs, genetic
diseases, Goldens in other countries (England, Canada, Australia,
New Zealand), rescue, abbreviations, and recommended reading.
A thorough index provides access to topics discussed in the
text as well as names of dogs cited and photos provided. Published
in 1993.
