Her natural ability to listen to all points of view and her extensive background in science as an educator and researcher have proven invaluable in helping to create the best and most harmonious life for each of her Golden puppies and for each puppy's family. Explaining the growth phases of a Golden puppy during his first year of life, Ann separates these periods into stages of development, describing the major changes that take place: Seven Weeks through Four Months Five Months through Eight Months Nine Months through Twelve Months In the comprehensive middle section of the book, she deals with health concerns: Vaccinations Feeding and Nutrition Common Health Problems Parasites Neutering and Spaying Finally, she addresses specific topics for new owners (and breeders) including a chapter about a puppy's first... Customer Reviews: 0 of 0 found this review helpful: good but not great, 2008-03-26 Positives: It's one of the few books out there that offer info. on development specific to the golden--when to expect certain milestones, when to spay/neuter (there is reason to wait),personality changes at certain stages, etc. Negatives: Some topics covered felt more like a biology textbook. I was ok because I have a medical background but could easily see how those chapters could turn the lay person off. Furthermore, I wish the book had more depth in certain areas and less in others. Overall, a good book to own. Not perfect, but after browsing through many golden books, this one came closest to what I was looking for. 1 of 1 found this review helpful: The Golden Retriever Puppy Handbook, 2008-02-03 OK--Welcome back to my reviews--apparently I did not put the voting mechanism on my first review of this book, and luckily that gives me the opportunity to write another one. . letting you know how things turned out with my darling golden puppy. She just had her 3rd birthday and she is fabulous. Well the truth is--BERIT is perfect for me. But how did she get to perfect? Simply because in the early days--any time I had a little issue with her--I found the answer, the solution or the reason in this handbook. Little things, big things--its all there. I am convinced that no one knows GOLDENS like Ann Johnson. This book leaves nothing out. . .there are things that Ann covers in this book that BERIT has yet to pull on me!! I consulted this book many many days (and continue to do so)--guidance from this book kept my puppy gloriously "golden". When you choose a Golden--you are not a "Dummy", so you should not choose a book that indicates that Goldens are for Dummy's. You are a champion. And this book is the book for champions. For the love of goldens--trust Ann. Susan and BERIT. 1 of 3 found this review helpful: Puppy Handbook, 2007-12-27 I really did not care for this book. I much preferred Goldens for Dummies. 2 of 2 found this review helpful: Excellent Read!, 2007-12-15 About a year ago I began reading books about Golden Retrievers as this was the breed of dog I thought would make a great family pet. After reading The Golden Retriever Puppy Handbook by Ann Johnson I made an appointment with Gold-Rush Kennels to get a puppy. I was so impressed by the author's expertise on this breed & her incredible insight into Golden Retriever behavior. I purchased a beautiful 10 week old puppy from Gold Rush & couldn't be happier! My pup is now 8 months old. & I find myself consulting Ms. Johnson's book frequently for info. regarding his development & behavior. What's so amazing is with each passing month, every chapter I read is so accurate about the phase of develop my pup is experiencing! Ann Johnson's insight into Golden behavior is so "on target." This book is a "Must Read" for anyone who is considering owning a Golden Retriever. You will find yourself reaching for this book often as your pup grows. 2 of 2 found this review helpful: Really knows her Goldens , 2007-04-12 As the proud mother of a perfect Gold-Rush Golden I can say that Ms. Johnson really knows what she is talking about. Do your homework first, know what you are getting into as far as time and cost goes. Don't buy any dog from a "puppy mill." Better yet adopt from a Golden Retriever Rescue Group.
