1. 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!



2. 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.



3. 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.

1. This book represents a good background on the whys and wherefores of showing English Cockers, especially from the point of view of an outsider. With no real knowledge of showing dogs (as ours is a rescued pet), it prooves very interesting reading.

   The book is very much North American in content with nearly 100 pages dedicated to both early and modern breeders in the US and Canada. This is not a shortcoming for an Australian reader as it generally makes for interesting reading.

   Photography is all black and white, and includes detailed grooming images and a collection of historical images as well as many suberb photos of various dogs. The pups in chapter 7 "Breeding the English Cocker" are a real treat.

   All in all, worth the purchase for someone who considers an English Cocker more than just another dog




2. This is a great book. If you are new to this breed it is very helpful. The begining of this book goes into the history of the breed. It then analsises the Standard of this breed. The author uses drawings to help us to understand the Standard. That is very helpful! The Chapter on grooming is fantastic! Bonnie Threfall provided the demonstration pictures. I learned a lot from this. The pictures were very helpful. It then goes on to talk about showing and breeding these beautiful dogs. The section I learned a lot from was Early Breeders and Breeders of Today and Tomorrow. I couldn't believe how many people I actually know or have met are in this book! It was and eye opener! I would recommend this book to anyone new to this breed! It's a must!

1. This book has wonderful details so you feel like you`re actually in the book! Another great book by Ben Baglio! I found the 1st book at the library saying, "Ben Baglio is great with the Animal Ark series." So I tried it and loved it! And now I`m reading this new series. Though I hope on Amazon that they come out with the 3rd book. Wonderful! It`s about 3 kids saving lost pets. They started the Pet Finders Club when one kid loses her dog. In this book, somebody breaks in at a local pet store. They have to save the animals before it`s too late! Anyway, I enjoyed this book and say EVERYONE would like it.

1. Once again Ann Ramsey creates her own distinctive brand of magical realism through digital imaging in Just Be You. Honey the Cocker Spaniel is the star of this quest for self esteem. She is surrounded by ducks. So naturally she tries very hard to be a duck. One day she looks in the mirror and sees someone very different. She begins to explore what makes her unique.
   
   Ramsey weaves the story into the enchanting illustrations with her trademark poetic charm and grace. The result is a timeless fable for all ages.
   
   Readers young and old alike will delight as Honey leaps off the page and grabs hold of their hearts. What a face! What a range of emotions! What an actress! Honey definitely has a future on the big screen. Join in this adorable pup's crusade. Prepare to fall in love.
   
   I hope this is the start of many more Honey adventures to come.

3. Once you have bought this book you will refer to it all the time. A lot of Professional breeders encourage new owners to get this copy because it does give ALL you need to know on the new puppy trainning, heath, food, obedience trainning etc. Also talks about the older dog. A complet book that you will enjoy and will encourage other to get also.

1. This book was a true insight for us into the life of a cocker spaniel, how to train them, live with them, feed them, groom them, walk them and treat them as one of the family. It was invaluable.



2. This book is so much better than many of the other breed books out there that offer nothing but basic knowledge filler. I was skeptical about buying it, but figured what the heck. It's worth the money and has lots of good information in it.

1. Written by D. Caroline Coile, Ph.D.: The Cocker Spaniel Handbook is a well-rounded guide packed with everything the reader needs to know about raising a happy and healthy cocker spaniel. From acquiring a dog or puppy, to the many types of Cocker Spaniels, to training, grooming and feeding, requisite exercise, common medical problems and diseases, and much more, The Cocker Spaniel Handbook is a solidly accessible primer, illustrated with color photographs on virtually every page. Enthusiastically recommended especially for first-time Cocker Spaniel owners.

1. This was a fun Christmas time story, about the love of Mandy Hope and James for animals. It wasn't one of Baglio's best, but was great for the season.

1. You won't be confused when you get to the training part. The book explains the stuff well, and at the same time the pictures of Cockers are cute and colorful. My friend read this, and since our friend lives in our house, we will have tips on how to train the best dog in the world, the COCKER SPANIEL!!!



2. This book is wonderful. It's simple to read and I've had great success following the training techniques. Liz teaches the importance of training your cocker with a firm, but loving hand; as well as how to train your cocker to have manners and do some pretty impressive tricks! Knowing how to work with my dog, has given us a wonderful and fun relationship. I bought a few other books on Cockers, but this one by far is my favorite!
