Meet the most well-rounded companion and hunting dog of all, the English Springer Spaniel! Handsome, sporting and affectionate, the English Springer Spaniel has become one of the most widely appreciated dogs in the world. Its attractive, weather-proof coat, its active and fun disposition and its naturally obedient ways make the Springer a fine choice for the easygoing but energetic dog owner. This book provides the much-needed factual information about the Springer and its ancestry, character and standard, as well as the proper selection, feeding, training, preventative health care and behavior of the breed. The new owner will welcome advice about preparing for the pup's arrival, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems.

In addition to an extremely authoritative text, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive. Helpful hints and important information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader needs to know about life with an English Springer Spaniel from puppyhood to the senior years.

Although the book has a lot of nice pictures, much of the information is basic. I thought it was not very comprehensive. The book itself is tiny, and you could easily read it cover to cover in half an hour or less. I was not impressed. Save your money and go with a more complete book on English Springer Spaniels, like "The English Springer Spaniel", also sold on this website.
