The New Complete English Springer Spaniel

This book makes anyone proud to be owned by an ESS. The late Mrs. Gasow was a true conniseur of Springers. She was, after all, "related" to Robert, Ch. Salilyn's Condor, who blew away competition at any dog show he ever entered, as did his granddaughter, Samantha. I am extremely proud to say that our Springer has Salilyn lines. The pictures alone make the book a worthwhile purchase!

In my opinion, this book is a wonderful resource of information on English Springer Spaniels. Many people are not aware that there are 2 types of Springers, field and bench. This book clearly details and illustrates the differences between the 2 lines, therefore allowing people to determine which type of Springer best suits their life. The only information I found missing was a section on health concerns related to Springers. I would recommend this book for potential Springer owners and current owners alike.

Lots of pedigree information; excellent to trace lines of "good" spaniels; good information on field dogs; about half the book on field and half on show dogs;

Great book for someone interested in researching field springers. Bench, obedience sections are weak.

Read it, it's great for the amateur or pro.
