My baby.......2002-08-27
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!
A Valuable Breed Information Book.......2000-07-02
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.
excellent book; full of pedigree information.......1999-05-24
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;
Prima boek waarin alle springer aspecten aan de orde komen.......1999-03-12
Prima boek, waarin alle aspecten van de engelse springer aan de orde komen, zowel show als jacht.
Een aanbeveling waard.
Appears to be a good Field Springer book.......1998-12-18
This review is limited to the section II of the book which focused on show and obedience Springers. Section II essentially highlights significant show dogs beginning as early as the 1920's to the mid 1990's. There is a decent chapter on the breed standard and a chapter on how to groom your dog for show. Other than that, it doesn't really tell you how to choose a puppy or raise it (aside from a short section on what to feed your puppy). The chapter on obedience is very brief. I did glance at the section on field Springers. That seemed to be more complete and informative than the show section. It covers the history of the breed, selection of a puppy, early basic training to advanced gun dog training.
Book Description
At last, a book about your pet that emphasizes total care, training and companionship! You'll not only learn about the specie-specific traits of your special pet, you'll also learn what the world's like from your pet's perspective; how to feed, groom and keep your pet healthy; and how to enjoy your pet through training and activities you can do together. The English Springer Spaniel is written by a breed expert and includes a special chapter on training by Dr. Ian Dunbar, internationally renowned animal behaviorist, and chapters on getting active with your dog by long-time Dog Fancy magazine columnist Bardi McLennan.

We gave this book to our son who had just acquired the dog from a neighbor who did not want him. He says the book is very helpful, he intends to be a responsible dog owner. I have not seen the book.

An ideal first book regarding the English Springer Spaniel........1999-03-07
An interesting and informative book touching on all aspects of the English Springer Spaniel, be it in the field, in the show ring, or as a family pet. It also features a super basic training section as well as an entire chapter devoted to the springers health and well being. This was our first book regarding English Springer Spaniels and it assisted us greatly regarding the choice of Ivy, our now 14 month old black and white Springer Spaniel. This book handles the basics and more, and we would rate it as a perfect companion reference.
Book Description
Meet the most well-rounded companion and hunting dog of all, the English Springer Spaniel! Handsome, sporting and affectionate, the English Springer Spaniel has become one of the most widely appreciated dogs in the world. Its attractive, weather-proof coat, its active and fun disposition and its naturally obedient ways make the Springer a fine choice for the easygoing but energetic dog owner.

In addition to an extremely authoritative text, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive. Helpful hints and important information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader needs to know about life with an English Springer Spaniel from puppyhood to the senior years.
Customer Reviews:
Not very comprehensive.......2005-08-22
Although the book has a lot of nice pictures, much of the information is basic. I thought it was not very comprehensive. The book itself is tiny, and you could easily read it cover to cover in half an hour or less. I was not impressed. Save your money and go with a more complete book on English Springer Spaniels, like "The English Springer Spaniel", also sold on this website.

A Great Guide for Springer Owners.......2000-03-06
Ms. Palika's easy to understand description of the English Springer makes for informative reading. A high energy and active breed, it's most important that owners teach their Springers basic obedience and manners. Easy to understand steps in this book will help owners to teach their dogs what is to be expected of them, and to have fun with the training. This is particularly a wonderful guide for the first-time Springer owner. Read and learn!
Book Description
Based on an actual incident, this is both a poignant and funny story of a nine year old English Springer Spaniel who loses her front leg to cancer. Annie and her high-spirited brother Max experience her illness and recovery in very different ways. Max is in denial and Annie is in a state of sad acceptance. It isn't until they meet Samantha, a three legged Golden Retriever, that they both begin to heal. This is a book about love, loss, friendship and optimism that is appropriate for children of all ages and the young in spirit.

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-01-19
I have met the author when she visited my school she is very nice, My teacher read us this story because the author came and everybody loved it. It teaches you people do get better. It is a great book for children and teaches a great lesson.
"Annie Loses Her Leg but Finds Her Way"......ALL THUMBS UP!!.......2002-11-22
I had heard about the book on a television program which showed how this book was being read in hospitals to children who were cancer patients in order to help them understand the reasons for surgery, treatment, etc. So I purchased this book for my 4 year old daughter after learning that I had myself had breast cancer, and required a mastectomy.
In this book, Annie, a dog, gets cancer. Her owners take her to the veterinarian for surgery. When Annie comes home, she only has three legs. Max, her dog brother, doesn't understand this. Annie explains that she lost her leg in order to save her life!
This book is wonderful! It really helped my daughter understand my situation in a way that only good children's literature can!
(I am a 14 year veteran public school teacher, by the way, so I know good children's literature when I see it!)
If you, your child, a family member, your pet, or anyone else you know is going through this horrible disease, get this book and read it to your child!
(I am happy to report that I am now cancer-free, by the way!)
Dog-gone Cancer.......2002-08-17
I teach a summer class about different dog breeds. I use episodes of Breed All About It from Animal Planet channel. The episode was about Springer Spaniels, and this book as well as the author were featured. This inspired me to purchase the books for an after-school program I run. I love dogs and I am also an EMT, this is a great way to incoporate both of my interests into the program and help those children who made need to deal with this issue at a point in their lives.
Delightful fun for kids and dog lovers!.......2001-05-26
This is a sweet book about two family pets--Springer spaniels--and how they communicate when Annie, the older dog, loses her leg to cancer. The mischievious younger dog Max brings a smile to all with his antics and attitude. This is an excellent tool for getting kids to use their imagination, talk about writing, mental and visual images. This book sets the stage for the author's later books with more adventures for Max and Annie.
What a wonderful book!.......1999-12-31
My kids and I met the author at a book signing in Chagrin Falls, OH and she is a neat lady. She brought her dogs, Annie and Max, and sold this book and the other about Max. They are great books for kids and teach great lessons. In this book, Annie loses her leg to cancer but recovers and teaches kids that you don't have to be perfect to be happy and live a great life. Get this book and Max's Wild Goose Chase for your kids!

Casual Information.......2002-06-19
We purchased this book to get info on the ESS breed and its care as we'd put a deposit on a pup after researching via internet. This book does give a concise abbreviated overview of the breed. For a quick reference it suffices but it falls short of details and specifics. For instance the training section is extremely brief and certainly does not address bringing the pup into your home and beginning an indepth housebreaking routine and training system. This did provide a jumping off point; however if you plan on getting the dog...get a more detail manual.
