by Marcia Schlehr

Review by Edell Schaefer

Published in 1996, this book updates the information in Gertrude Fischer's. Marcia Schlehr is also a long standing breeder and judge of Goldens with both national and international recognition. She is devoted herself to the study and illustration of the breed standard and provides an enlightening chapter on that topic. Schlehr's book includes more detailed information on breeding, genetic concerns, and grooming. Although there are fewer illustrations than in the Fischer book, and the information presented is similar, THE NEW GOLDEN RETRIEVER is a valuable addition to one's bookshelf.
