5.0 out of 5 stars MUST BUY!!!!!, May 19, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: The American Cocker Spaniel: Pure Bred Series (The Pure-bred series) (Hardcover)

This is a must get. Especially for anyone truly interested in breeding cockers for show, color, and comformation. It has an excellent chapter in breeding for coat color and genetics. The book is written well with a touch of humor from a man who has much experience with the cockers; not someone who wants to publish a book about the breed. He has many references to other reading material, as well as a very thorough history of the breed, including many pedigrees on these dogs. If you only get one book on the Cocker Spaniel--this is THE ONE to get

5.0 out of 5 stars A breed book difficult to parallel, April 23, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The American Cocker Spaniel: Pure Bred Series (The Pure-bred series) (Hardcover)

The range of information is immense. A facinating book with a different approach and by today's standards good value for the money. For Cocker enthusiasts this is an encylopedia of the breed which would be difficult to parallel. Our Dogs Magazine of England

This review is from: The American Cocker Spaniel: Pure Bred Series (The Pure-bred series) (Hardcover)

Dr. Grossman has written what must be the final work on the American Cocker Spaniel. The author has written with clarity, and a tuch of humor sparkles in his style. Every owner of a Cocker will want to own this excellent book as a valuable reference and as a real source of practical information. American Kennel Club Gazette
