I have ordered several of these as Christmas gifts for my "Cavalier friends." It's a terrific book on a terrific breed. I have had and loved many of these dogs over the last 20+ years, so I am very critical of information about them. This is the BEST I have ever seen on the breed, bar none! It is complete, fun to read, and accurate. The author covers the subject from A to Z. You'll never need another book on this breed (unless the author comes out with a 2nd edition!) I can't recommend it highly enough.

What a superb work this is. We have long held a fascination with Cavaliers, having raised many of them over the years. Ms. Garnett-Smith's book is just excellent, well-designed and beautifully put together, with fine black and white photographs. We couldn't put it down. We are recommending it to all our Cavalier-loving friends.

Any dog lover--but especially Cavalier lovers--will love this beautiful book. It is by far the most comprehensive book ever written about this wonderful breed. What a find! I highly recommend it.

Highly recommended. Very complete and entertaining at the same time. If you love dogs, this belongs in your home.

I Loved the cavalier art.
Good treatment of breed standard.
Superb pen & ink illustrations to show breed standard. What artist did these?

I found this book to be a delight. Well worth having in a collection on this breed. It covers everything from the history of the breed to practical grooming, art, and much much more.

A very informative book on Cavalier King Charles Spaniels--easy to read and full of valuable information. A must for Cavalier King Spaniel owners and for those researching the breed! Lovely photos and illustrations.

We became owners of a Cavalier and wanted to know more. This is an excellant book that gives history of the Cavalier, the qualities, breeding, raising, showing and more! My husband and I argue who gets to read the book next. We have two book marks and compete to who has read more. The only thing that disappointed us is that there are no color photos of the Cavaliers. Lots of pictures but in black and white. But, don't let this discourage you in purchasing the book. I just look at my Cavalier and he is not only in color but 3-D.

This is a GREAT BOOK on Cavalier king Charles Spaniels, however it originally sold for only $35 dollars, so selling it for $175 is almost to the point of being ABSURD! These same publishers now have a set of 2 books they are selling, one being The cavalier king charles spaniel, in fact and fancy, and the other being a tribute to art. BOTH of these books sell for $129 incl. s/h and they make BEAUTIFUL coffee table books. While this book is good, I think you can find the same or similar info in the fact and fancy book they currently have out.

I didn't pay quite this much for mine, (ALTHOUGH I DID PAY a HIGH PRICE well above the original price) But I searched and searched thru barnes and noble, and other book sites and the book is no where to be found, so I guess it IS A COLLECTORS ITEM and this price is what I guess people are willing to pay for such an in demand GREAT Book!

Fabulous book! The best one on Cavaliers I have found. Very comprehensive with lots of pictures. I read it from cover to cover. Couldn't put it down and refer to it often.
