Each breed handbook covers every aspect of dog care, including a full profile of each featured breed and information on basic day-to-day care, training, grooming and exercise. Dr. Bruce Fogle, DVM -- veterinary surgeon, columnist, broadcaster and the worldOtilde;s best-selling practicing vet ETH; details each breedOtilde;s distinct history, physical traits, and common health problems. Each book is illustrated with color photographs that bring the information to life, making it simple to understand at a glance. Loyalty and friendship define this "merry breed" of gentle family dog. Though comfortable playing the role of a homebody, the Cocker Spaniel is by no means a lap dog. In this handbook, Fogle carefully describes this breed's special need for daily vigorous exercise and mental stimulation as well as the differences between English and American spaniels. He also explains how to provide the customized care the Cocker Spaniel requires, such as avoiding the irritating skin conditions to which it is especially susceptible.
