An ideal first book regarding the English Springer Spaniel.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The English Springer Spaniel: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)
An interesting and informative book touching on all aspects of the English Springer Spaniel, be it in the field, in the show ring, or as a family pet. It also features a super basic training section as well as an entire chapter devoted to the springers health and well being. This was our first book regarding English Springer Spaniels and it assisted us greatly regarding the choice of Ivy, our now 14 month old black and white Springer Spaniel. This book handles the basics and more, and we would rate it as a perfect companion reference.

Should be called the 'Copy-Paste-o Guide to Dogs',

This review is from: The English Springer Spaniel: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)
The book isn't terrible, but the ESS specific parts are very short. Most of the book is written and re-used across the entire 'Healthy happy pet' series. The pictures are pretty bad - and overall the information is generic. Plus, the reviews by 'A Customer' look pretty clearly written by a publisher/editor, etc.

We gave this book to our son who had just acquired the dog from a neighbor who did not want him. He says the book is very helpful, he intends to be a responsible dog owner. I have not seen the book.
