This review is from: Welsh Springer Spaniel (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) (Hardcover)

The book is very informative and provides some great examples for grooming a welsh as well as some good general information about the breed. Where the book falls short is it does not capture a significant portion of the welsh in America that influenced where the breed is today. A number of significant sires and dams were left out of the publication or did not receive the sufficient recognition. The future or current owners of a welsh should understand the origins of the breed not only in Wales but in America, too.

Of all the books dedicated to the welsh, this book is more current that the others, however, a true lover of the breed will want to have all of the books collectively and will take the information they like from each. All in all a good current depiction of the breed but could use a little improvement in the area of Welsh in America to help bridge the gap from the other older books on the welsh (Anne Walton, William Pferd, etc books).
