Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
At last, a book about your pet that emphasizes total care, training and companionship! You'll not only learn about the specie-specific traits of your special pet, you'll also learn what the world is like from your pet's perspective; how to feed, groom and keep your pet healthy; and how to enjoy your pet through training and activities you can do together. A breed expert has written The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and it includes a special chapter on training by Dr. Ian Dunbar, internationally renowned animal behaviorist, and chapters on getting active with your dog by long-time Dog Fancy magazine columnist Bardi McLennan. Best of all, the book is filled with info-packed sidebars, color photos and fun facts to make caring for your pet easy and enjoyable.

Switched Dogs in the Middle,
By Sandra Higgins (California, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)
The first half of the book is devoted to material about CKCS, the remainder on training, habits shows other dogs. It is a little disconcerting when you buy a book about a specific dog, and end up reading about the training of other canines.

I'M SMARTER NOW.....,
By Phyllis Lasser "Welmforth Cavaliers" (Wyckoff,, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)
I ENJOYED THIS BOOK VERY MUCH. I DO KNOW A GREAT DEAL ABOUT THIS BREED AND FOUND IT ONE I COULD RECOMMEND TO NEW PUPPY OWNERS AS REQUIRED READING. THE AUTHOR WAS INFORMATIVE AND INTERESTING. THE DOGS ILLUSTRATED WERE LOVELY. I AM IN LOVE WITH THE DOG ON THE COVER.....HE IS A REAL "KEEPER."I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE DISCUSSION ON A RAW DIET AND MANY OTHER TOPICS NOT USUALLY COVERED IN AN INTRODUCTORY BOOK.

This review is from: The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)
This started out good, but then strayed from the king charles. I did get some good info. I liked the pictures.
