4 out of 5 stars Best general introduction to the breed   October 15, 2005
 9 out of 10 found this review helpful

A good all-round book that covers all the basics on breed history and ownership, with some lovely pictures and a generally encouraging, cheerful tone. The section on first aid is very useful, as are the lists of what a puppy buyer needs to have before the new arrival comes home. Before I got my two cavaliers I read and reread this book with great pleasure and anticipation. Now that I have enjoyed the companionship of my own dogs, have read more of the historical breed books, and generally spent more time around lots of cavaliers, I know the breed and health issues etc forth fairly well -- and on that basis, can confirm that Coile's book remains the best introductory guide for a cavalier owner or prospective owner. While she does get the color inheritence mixed up as noted by another reviewer, this does not reflect on any lack off knowledge of the breed in the rest of the book (I know plenty of breeders who have a hard time remembering color genetics (and anyway, anyone even *thinking* of breeding -- the only point at which this really is important -- should be mentored by a good, experienced breeder and be reading widely on health, pedigrees, etc -- not using a pet owner's guide as a manual!). [...] But this book merits a space on any cavalier owner's bookshelf.


5 out of 5 stars Best Cavalier King Charles Spaniel book   December 24, 2004

Having 2 Cavaliers this book is very helpful. It explains everything you need to know from training to health. It explains what food, grooming, and behavior techniques need to be implemented to ensure a well behaved dog. There is a chapter of how to prevent boredom, and seperation anxiety that is common in Cavaliers. How to choose a good puppy and breeder is very helpful if you are looking to adopt one. It is also good reference to people know about the breed.


5 out of 5 stars Cavalier King Charles Spaniels: Everything About Purchasing,   September 15, 2004

This is the best breed book available about Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. It is objective and comprehensive for Cavalier pet owners and buyers. It is not just some breeder's vanity book like most of the others. I keep several copies and give one to anyone who asks me about Cavaliers. www.CavalierHealth.org


3 out of 5 stars Predicting Coat Color   March 14, 2004
 6 out of 14 found this review helpful

On page 82 & 83 of the book it descibes coat color genetics. D. Caroline Coile in this book writes, "In the case of Cavaliers, the red (R) allele is dominant to the black and tan (r) allele. However, Clare Rusbridge BVMS in a different publication writes that "Blenheim and Rubies are recessive coat variations". It appears that this book has coat color genetics wrong. How much of the other information within this book was not researched by D. Caroline Coile the author.


5 out of 5 stars Most in-depth care and health information   February 8, 2003

This book has the best information about caring for your Cavalier of any of the books. It even has a special section on understanding mitral valve (heart)disease, which is a too-common problem in the breed.
