English Springer Spaniels are beautiful and full of life, and so it is easy to see why they are so popular. They are playful and devoted, with massive characters. However, their drive and neuroticism can make them a very challenging breed for the inexperienced owner, and anyone new to the breed should have a full awareness of what owning a Springer Spaniel entails. This book provides all you need to know about the breed, whether you are buying or rescuing an English Springer Spaniel for a pet or a working dog.

In preparation for Paddy joining our family on 21 March, I ordered this book. I really enjoyed reading up on the breed, understanding the difference between working and show springers and other important dos and don'ts for dog owners. Particularly enjoyed the last chapter with stories of working spaniels who'd helped save lives and changed others for the better including detecting the onset of diabetic or epileptic episodes. No regrets in buying this book and certainly no regrets in getting Paddy.
