Not Quite as Expected
I don't like to cut down someone else's hard work, but the book is a little pricey for what you get. First of all, the intro leads me to believe that the writer of the book never has owned a golden. Big minus there. He does make some good observations that will make you smile, though, which brings value back to the book and some of the commentary is right on the money. Secondly, there are some beautiful photos, but be aware there are several of them are just so-so, showing several consecutive photos of the same thing with the same dog on the same occasion. Some are probably not much different than the ones you have in your own photo album. This was a bit disappointing. This is a good book to collect if you collect golden books or golden paraphenalia or are looking for a decent coffee table book, but I don't think it's quite as good as it could be.

Dale Spartas knows Goldens!
I bought this book because, after perusing it in the bookstore, I kept saying YES as I read the commentary about my chosen breed. Anyone who has ever owned (or been owned) by this wonderful breed will delight in the text and gorgeous photographs. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who has a Golden Retriever!

Just Goldens? Just Wonderful!
This is the definitive book for anyone who has been, or is planning to be owned by a 24-karat dog.
