Members of the Sporting Group, Spaniels are divided into nine different breeds, each with its own distinctive appearance, personality, and specific working attributes.
Find out about:
In Living With A Sporting Spaniel, the historical background of each spaniel breed is examined. Readers will find advice on picking a puppy, feeding it, and maintaining preventive health care.
A chapter devoted to each breed traces its development, its recognition, and its present-day status. An outline of individual breed standards includes details on what each breed should look like. Perhaps most important to prospective owners, this book gives an in-depth analysis of the character and behavior traits of each spaniel type, focusing on preferred lifestyles, trainability, and working ability. Readers will also find practical advice on grooming both the household pet and the show dog, as well as exercise and general health recommendations.
Spaniels are well known for their liveliness and intelligence, and readers will find guidance on which sports their spaniel is best suited for, ranging from the dog’s traditional role as a shooting companion to the increasingly popular disciplines of agility, competitive obedience, and canine freestyle. The book also discusses the role of spaniels who work as therapy dogs and as highly-valued search dogs, sniffing out drugs and explosives.
Julia Barnes is a writer who specializes in dog care and training. She has enlisted the help of individual breed experts to make Living With A Sporting Spaniel a true celebration of the nine different spaniel breeds.

Living with a Sporting Spaniel (Living with a Pet)
I thought this book would be about the history and domestication of dogs, but it is really more about the author's search to understand his relationship with his dog. It is written by a journalist and has a lot of emotional fluff and very little actual science. I read a little over a third of the book before I gave up. Most of what I had read so far just detailed the author's search, such as going to the library to check out wolf books. Just not enough facts and science for me. Although the writing is good and flows really well, so it is very easy to read.
