REVIEWS:

“I typically find that I am underwhelmed at the generalization within the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel books (I own many). As a Cavvy LOVER (pet owner & breeder), I am impressed! Linda Whitwam has done thorough research & quotes people worldwide, owners & breeders alike. She is obviously as taken with this breed as am I & wants to help all of us with the LONGEVITY of these precious furever puppy-dogs! The latest research is added (vaccines/food/exercise) as well as “HOW TO’s” throughout the book…I will use this as an ongoing resource within my Kennel & recommend to adoptive parents alike,” JINA EZELL, top US breeder.

“Excellent book. Exactly what I need prior to welcoming my puppy,” LINDA GREIG, Canada

“What a wonderfully comprehensive guide to the Cavalier…For anyone considering keeping a Cavalier then I would recommend this as an absolute bible,” MISS L. EVANS, UK

“This is a great book for any future or current Cavalier owners. It contains tons of breed-specific information including temperament, training, grooming & health insight. You also get all the puppy ownership 101 that will help you prepare. I appreciated the breeder advice sprinkled throughout the chapters as well. It’s written in an upbeat & easy to read manner, not too dry,” JILL, USA

“Nice to have a reference about a breed by folks who are actually writing for that breed, rather than mass-producing breed books,” PAUL E. BENSUSAN, USA
