The Cocker Spaniel is a merry, compact gundog bred to flush and retrieve game birds, and one of the best-loved companions of its day. In The Popular Cocker Spaniel, H. S. Lloyd sets down what every owner and breeder should know of the breed.
First published in 1924, H. S. Lloyd's account sets the Cocker Spaniel's history and origins alongside guidance on its points and standard, its character, and the everyday work of rearing, feeding and preparing a dog for the show ring.
Long scarce in its original edition, it returns here in a faithful modern reprint for Cocker Spaniel owners, breeders and breed historians.
This edition features:
- Traces the origins and history of the Cocker Spaniel.
- Sets out the breed's points, character and show standard.
- Practical notes on rearing, feeding, breeding and management.
- Restored from the original text and illustrations.
