Best books on golden retrievers?

[snapdragongirl]

Any recommendations for golden retriever specific books? I’ve ordered Easy Peasy Puppy and the Happy Puppy Handbook as we are new to dog ownership and preparing for our new puppy, but wondered if anyone knows of good books specifically about goldens please?

Honestly, nothing is going to beat speaking to someone who actually knows and owns the breed. Too many people who write books about particular dog breeds often know very little about that dog. You shouldn't pay for something that a true Golden Retriever lover would give you for free.

If you reach out to your local Golden Retriever club, someone on the committee should be able to give you good advice...but honestly the breeder should be doing this and should have told you what to expect the first time they met you (assuming you've gotten that far)!

Does your breeder have a Facebook page? My sister has two goldens and parents have one and the community of families with dogs from the same breeder, as well as the breeder herself give lots of advice.

We have an 11 month old GR, also our first dog. Our breeder was and continues to be the best source of information for us that is GR specific so i second that. Find a good breeder (GR society put us in touch with a closed facebook group which helps with finding breeders who have done the right checks). Also recommend asking around now to find a good puppy training class, that also helped us enormously. Good luck, our boy has just been the best decision we ever made.

Shameless post of my boy 😍😍😍
