Many cocker owners want to work their dog as a gundog in country sports, including field trials and working tests. With The Cocker Spaniel the transition from family dog at home to elite performance dog in the field is seamless and easy to achieve. There is plenty of technical instruction on how to work your cocker in the field, as the author has done, successfully, with five Field Trial Champions to her name.
