A close relative of the English Cocker Spaniel, the Field Spaniel is lesser known but every bit as sensible and talented as his gundog relative. A fun-loving and active sporting dog, the Field Spaniel makes an intelligent and loyal companion for owners living in a country or suburban setting. Equipped with patience and a merry, good nature, this little dog is at once energetic, funny, industrious, and delightfully mischievous, a handsome addition to every home he enters. Author Becki Jo Hirschy, a well-known Field Spaniel breeder, has written a concise and accurate history of the breed in England and America, which serves as an apt introductory chapter to this Comprehensive Owner's Guide. The breed's special characteristics are discussed in the second chapter, painting an entertaining portrait of this fun-loving and sensitive breed. The complete AKC breed standard, along with illustrations, are presented in the third chapter. New owners will welcome information on: *Finding a reputable breeder *Selecting a healthy, sound puppy *Puppy-proofing the home and yard *Purchasing the right supplies for the puppy *House-training *Feeding *Grooming *Obedience training to help you mold the most well-mannered dog in the neighborhood *Up-to-date, detailed information on selecting a qualified veterinarian, vaccinations, preventing and dealing with parasites, and infectious diseases *And more!
