Saxon genitive and articles

Hello everybody.

I was thinking about the article “a“ with the Saxon genitive... Are these examples correct or is there any mistake?

1) a chef's trousers

2) a geese's shelter / a children's book

3)a doctor's advice (=the advice came from a doctor)

Thank you in advance.
