"I would recommend this book to anyone who has recently acquired, or intends to acquire a Cocker Spaniel. It is ideal for a person who is looking for guidance to take them through puppyhood, basic training and even on to the dizzy heights of advanced training, competitions and field trials." - Lyn Randall - Field Trial Secretary, The Cocker Spaniel Club
With many readers coming to cockers for the first time, this book offers complete guidance for their very earliest care and training at home, and then introduces both cockers and their owners to a range of different activities and competitions. Drawing on more than a quarter of a centurys experience with cockers, the author takes you on a wonderful journey from the moment your puppy arrives home to the day that you start enjoying sport and activities together.
Topics covered include:
Many cocker owners want to work their dog as a gundog in country sports, including field trials and working tests. With The Cocker Spaniel the transition from family dog at home to elite performance dog in the field is seamless and easy to achieve. There is plenty of technical instruction on how to work your cocker in the field, as the author has done, successfully, with five Field Trial Champions to her name.
"There is no one more suited to guide you through the highs (and sometimes lows) of owning a cocker spaniel...Menzies writes with clarity and enthusiasm and the book is an essential guide for anyone who has, or is thinking about, one of these sterling sorts as either a home or working companion." - Alexandra Henton, The Field
"even cocker spaniel experts will pick up a tip or two an all-round excellent read that will have your dog walking to heel in no time." - The Scottish Field
Janet Menzies is a professional author and journalist who trains, works and breeds cocker spaniels. She is a gundog and shooting correspondent for The Field magazine and writes a monthly blog on gundog training for the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC). She has made up five Field Trial Champions, most of whom she bred herself. Best-known is FTCh Gournaycourt Ginger, one of the most consistent cockers of recent years. Although cockers are her first love, Janet writes about all the gundog breeds and enjoys all her country sports.
