We’ve bought this book as a guide since we are getting our first cocker in 2 weeks!
It’s very exciting and we wanted to be as prepared as possible. This book has definitely helped!! I feel so much more knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the breed, their pros, cons and how I can be the best owner possible to our puppy.
The book itself was laid out well. It has lots of informative information I will be returning to including how to do tricks. An ideal handbook for any dog owner especially if you have a cocker! Hopefully it will come in handy over the next few years.
My only criticism is the lack of colour really affects the read. It’s entirely in black and white which makes it harder to engage especially where there is cute cocker pictures to look at!!
