The perfect book for raising a cocker puppy!,
By R. Thomas Klapka (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cocker Spaniels: A Complete Pet Owner's Manual (Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
A fantastic book brimming over with incredibly useful information. It has priceless information in it about every aspect of raising a cocker puppy whether you are raising your puppy to be a house pet or a show dog. It even tells the exact color requirements for show dogs. As a cocker spaniel owner myself, I can tell you that I refer to this book several times a day. It's a book well worth it's price!

3.0 out of 5 stars
A good read but is was too general,
This review is from: Cocker Spaniels (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
It was a good book but it was too general. The book should have covered more on the different aspects of grooming, different inherited defects the cocker spaniel can have and how you can pick them at the puppy stage. I liked how it had examples of the cockers behaviour from personal experience. Overall it was a good book.
5.0 out of 5 stars
