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!

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.

Highly recommend this book for any cocker spaniel owner. A must have for your library.

I've owned dogs since I was young, which makes it more than a few decades. I'm used to finding these generic books, which seem to be the same book over and over, with only the pictures and name of the breed changing from title to title. This one is no such thing. I'm contemplating adopting another Cocker in about a year, and picked up this book from the local big box pet store because it was the only one they had. Started reading it seriously, and was surprised to find a good deal of specificity, a large dose of experience, and very good Cocker Spaniel history and breed knowledge. Highly recommended.
