If you like looking at pictures of beautiful American Cocker Spaniels, this is the book for you. It is a big book (over a foot tall) filled with over 1500 photographs of Cockers in all of the different colors. You can literally spend an hour flipping through this book delighting at all the beautiful variations of the American Cocker.

This book is a "must have" for anyone who loves Cocker Spaniels. Set it out on a coffee table in your living room where your family and guests can enjoy it for years to come.

A very nice feature of the book is the index which lists all of the registered names of the dogs pictured in the book. If you check the pedigree of your American Cocker Spaniel, the index makes it very easy to find pictures of his relatives in the book. I found dozens of relatives of my dogs this way... it was a real thrill!

Hundreds and hundreds of color photographs of beautiful cocker spaniels, page after page of information on care, breeding, colors, history, and winners! Our Cocker Club used this book as trophies at our last Cocker Spaniel Specialty show, the winners were so excited!... This is the book to have - a must in your collection. The authors of this book are respected throughout the cocker fancy. It's a huge book that would be lovely as a coffee table conversation piece. Well worth twice the money.

Excellent book! A must have for any Cocker lover. Full of valuable information, backgrounds and photos. Well worth the cost.

Massively oversized hardcover, glossy pictoral covers, 624 pp; new book, never read (perhaps because no potential reader could lift it). over 1500 color and b/w photos, just about anything you'd want to know about Cocker Spaniels; over 7 1/2 pounds of book, priced to compensate for projected expensive shipping costs (really, really BIG book) This is the AMERICAN Cocker Spaniel, of course. The English Cocker is only mentioned historically. (There is a difference) Nitpicking aside, essential to Cocker breeders, including history throughout the world, breeding, genetics, selection, judging and conformation of the Cocker, obedience, pedigrees, kennel histories, and much much more.

This was a well done and beautifully photographed book. I constantly look back into this book for help and info on my own dog. I even found some of her relatives in it.

I recommended this Book for any and All American Cocker Spaniel Owners or breeders. It has several photographs of excellent quality cockers. Good info on Breeding, Genetics, Health and Coat Maintenance. An all around great Coffee table book for All. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

For any cocker spaniel enthusiast, this book is the one to have and to keep for all posterity. Tons of pictures of some of the most beautiful creatures God ever blessed mankind with. This book is full of cocker history and more recent need-to-know information for everyone interested in this spectacular breed.
