Book Description

Series: Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals | Publication Date: April 1994

This cheerful breed craves human companionship, but an outdoor environment is the ideal for this active hunting dog. Heavily illustrated with vivid color photos and instructive line art, Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals show and inform pet owners regarding proper care of dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, small caged animals--virtually every creature that is kept as a pet. The books give advice on purchasing and otherwise acquiring a pet, feeding it nutritiously, keeping it in good health, and where applicable, grooming and training it. Each book in this large series is individually written by a specialist, and though the information is authoritative, the text is clear and straightforward, easy for every pet owner to understand.

3.0 out of 5 stars Casual Information, June 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: English Springer Spaniels: Pet Owner's Manual (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)

We purchased this book to get info on the ESS breed and its care as we'd put a deposit on a pup after researching via internet. This book does give a concise abbreviated overview of the breed. For a quick reference it suffices but it falls short of details and specifics. For instance the training section is extremely brief and certainly does not address bringing the pup into your home and beginning an indepth housebreaking routine and training system. This did provide a jumping off point; however if you plan on getting the dog...get a more detail manual.

This book was very beneficial in giving me the info I needed to better prepare for my new puppy. It had breed information as well as a list of essential items I would need now and in the future for maintaining and training my dog.
