Book excerpt: The Clumber Spaniel is a breed of dog, within the spaniel typing, that originates from the United Kingdom. The breed's name is derived from 'Clumber Park' which is located in Nottinghamshire and is where the breed was first developed. The Clumber Spaniel is actually the largest breed of dog within the spaniel typing. The breed was originally developed as a gundog that specializes in hunting in areas of heavy coverage. There are two different theories about the breed heritage. The first theory suggests that the Clumber Spaniel was developed by breeding the now extinct Alpine Spaniel with Basset Hounds and Pyrenean Mountain dogs. The second theory suggests that the Clumber Spaniel was developed by breeding King Charles Spaniels with other gundog breeds - the King Charles Spaniel was originally much larger than it is in modern times. The breed was originally restricted to being bred by nobility, but during World War 1 the Clumber Spaniel's numbers dwindle which lead to kennels taking an interest in preserving the breed. Despite the efforts to increase the breed's numbers, the Clumber Spaniel is still considered a vulnerable breed in the UK - which means that under 300 new Clumber Spaniel are registered each year. The Clumber Spaniel has a large heavy bone structure, a large head, large vine-leaf shaped ears and a freckled muzzle. The breed predominantly has a white, lemon, orange or brown coat colorations and there are normally spots of other common coat colorations around their muzzle and body. The Clumber Spaniel has a dense coat with the top half being short and the bottom half being a lot longer. As a whole the Clumber Spaniel is known to be a gentle, loyal and affectionate breed. They are also known to be a very 'sleepy' breed and spend a lot of time relaxing, eating or sleeping. Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet. It is important to try and learn as much as you can about the animal you are considering to keep as a pet to make sure that your lifestyle, household and financial status are suited to provide your pet with the best possible care. This guide has been designed to provide you with both precise and concise information about a Clumber Spaniel's basic needs to help you provide your pet with the best quality care practices. This guide will give an in-depth explanation on training your Clumber Spaniel, raising your Clumber Spaniel from a puppy, grooming, health care and everything in between!

This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name 'Cocker Spaniel' belongs to two breeds of spaniel type dogs: the 'American Cocker Spaniel' and the 'English Cocker Spaniel, ' both of which are commonly simply called the Cocker Spaniel in their respective countries of origin. The Cocker Spaniel was originally developed to be a hunting dog in the United Kingdom and the 'Cocker' portion of their name is in reference to the Eurasian woodcock which was their main prey. The breed was then transported to the United States of America were the breed went through development to enable it to hunt American woodcocks more efficiently. There are now multiple physical differences between the 'American Cocker Spaniel' and the 'English Cocker Spaniel.' Both types of Cocker Spaniel use their sense of smell to allow them to hunt and flush out their prey for their handlers to shoot. Once the bird is downed the Cocker Spaniel will retrieve it in its mouth, which has been developed to be soft for the purpose of not damaging the prey. The breed's coat comes in multiple different potential colorations but it will most commonly come in black, liver, red or solid golden. As a whole the Cocker Spaniel is known to be a very affectionate and sweet natured breed. They are perfectly suited to life as a household pet as they are playful, gentle and enjoy spending time exercising with their family unit. The breed is known to be 'soft' natured which means that they do not come well with harsh treatment. It is therefore imperative to treat your Cocker Spaniel with a gentle and calm tone at all times during its training. Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet. It is important to try and learn as much as you can about the animal you are considering to keep as a pet to make sure that your lifestyle, household and financial status are suited to provide your pet with the best possible care.

This book was released on 2019-03-29 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English Cocker Spaniel is a breed of gun dog that was developed in England in the mid-19th century. However Spaniel-type dogs have been present within English art and literature for over 500 years. Traditionally the English Cocker Spaniel was not used to retrieve game, during a hunt, but would rather chase the game towards the guns. The English Cocker Spaniel is a sturdy, compact and well-balanced dog. It has a characteristic expression that makes the breed appear intelligent and alert at all times. The breed has dark eyes and large lobular ears that reach past the tip of the dog's nose when pulled forward. The English Cocker Spaniel is very similar to the English Springer Spaniel and at first glance there seems to be no differences - other than the English Springer Spaniel being larger in size. However the English Cocker Spaniel tends to have longer ears and the English Springer Spaniel tends to have a longer muzzle and a less abundant coat. Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet.

This book was released on 2019-03-25 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Boykin Spaniel is a medium-sized breed of dog that is a member of the Spaniel grouping. The breed is also commonly known as the 'Swamp Poodle, ' the 'LBD' (Little Brown Dog) and simply as the 'Boykin.' The Boykin Spaniel originates from the United States of America. The breed was originally developed for the purpose of hunting turkeys and ducks in the Wateree River Swamp located in South Carolina. However due to their stamina in hot weather and eagerness to hunt, the Boykin Spaniel was quickly used for dove hunts and to hunt pheasants and other larger game. The Boykin Spaniel is actually the state dog of South Carolina. The Boykin Spaniel is slightly larger than the English Cocker Spaniel but has a much heavier body. The breed has no standard coat type or coloration due to the breed recent background. It is not uncommon for the Boykin Spaniel's coat to be curly in a similar style to the American Water Spaniel's coat, fine and straight like a Field Spaniel's coat and shorter and straighter like a Labrador Retriever's coat. As a whole, the Boykin Spaniel is known to be a friendly, sociable and loyal breed that makes it a perfect family pet. It is important to note that the Boykin Spaniel is a highly energetic breed. If it is not exercised properly it is highly likely that a Boykin Spaniel will develop destructive behaviors, due to boredom and having an abundance of excess energy. Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet. It is important to try and learn as much as you can about the animal you are considering to keep as a pet to make sure that your lifestyle, household and financial status are suited to provide your pet with the best possible care.

This book was released on 2019-04 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Field Spaniel is a medium-sized breed of dog that is a member of the Spaniel typing. During the early 19th century the Field Spaniel was originally developed to be a show breed by competitors who were attempting to create an all-black Spaniel. The breed's original coloration and shape made them incredibly unpopular with sportsmen due to the fact that the Field Spaniel's dark coat made it hard to spot during hunting conditions. The Field Spaniel's elongated shape and small legs also made the breed inadequate at traversing through cover and forests. During the mid-20th century the Field Spaniel was redeveloped as a longer-legged dog that was much more suitable for working purposes - most specifically field work. The newly developed Field Spaniel is considered to be the father of the modern and extremely popular English Cocker Spaniel and American Cocker Spaniel. However, despite being the forefather of two of the most popular breeds worldwide, the Field Spaniel is a rare breed of dog that is actually considered to be a 'vulnerable breed' in the United Kingdom due to their dwindling numbers. The Field Spaniel has the darkest coat of all the breeds within the Spaniel typing. The Field Spaniel also has no undercoat unlike most of the other working type of Spaniels. The Field Spaniel's coat most commonly comes in solid colors but it is not uncommon for there to be occasional markings on the breed's chest. In modern times the Field Spaniel is mainly found as a household family pet. Due to their working and show history, the Field Spaniel can become bored very easily and without some form of purpose it is not uncommon for a Field Spaniel to develop destructive behaviors due to boredom. They make perfect family pets due to their docile, friendly and loving nature. The Field Spaniel is also very good around strangers, small children and other animals, providing that it has been properly socialized during its puppyhood. The Field Spaniel is also known to be highly less excitable than the English Cocker Spaniel and the American Cocker Spaniel, which makes it a better choice for families with small children. Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet. It is important to try and learn as much as you can about the animal you are considering to keep as a pet to make sure that your lifestyle, household and financial status are suited to provide your pet with the best possible care.
