Why Goldens Do That: A Collection of Curious Golden Retriever Behaviors

This book is a must for golden lovers. The pictures are fabulous, surpassed only by the quality of the writing. Each page is a treasure, and even if you already know "why Goldens do that" the writing invites you in, brings a smile to your face and a giggle to your heart. Delightful! It is a book that is a great coffee table book that people will pick up to read over and over again.

I gave this as a gift to a friend who owns a Golden. He loved it. He's already passing it around to others to read.

This book is very well written. I gave this book to my husband for Christmas. He is enjoying sharing wtih me and with others about things that goldens do! We both have learned some things as to why goldens do what they do? For example,why do goldens rebel when they are between one and two years old ? The answer is because they are essentially teenagers. I would recommend this book to anyone that has a golden. There is never a dull moment with a golden in your household.

I gave this book 5 stars due to two things: excellent, delightful pictures of golden retrievers in all sorts of places and the text which must be read out loud to be appreciated. You won't get a vet's answer to these such questions as Why are Goldens always Napping? Davis gives an answer that napping helps them avoid some potential while-awake danger and hey, people who nap a lot are a friendly lot and so are napping Goldens. No technical best-in-show tips here. But a fun,fun read and very pleasing photographs of those dogs who never really act like real dogs. And we love them.

I gave this book as a Christmas present, and the family that I gave it to has read it multiple times! They love it! They go around the house saying "Oh, it is a Golden thing" about all that their beloved "Mollie" the Golden Retriever does!
