Customer Reviews

Good info on cavs

This book contained very useful information on cavs. I also enjoyed the many pictures because I was only familiar with my own cav and had not seen others. I like that this book also had information on which settings to use on a trimmer to cut your own dog's hair.

Most in-depth care and health information

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.

Excellent source for beginners!

Wonderfully written, very informative book for beginners considering this breed of dog. I truly appreciated Ms. Colie's cander regarding both good and bad aspects of the breed.

Outstanding Book

Coile's book gives great insight to the Cavalier, what you can expect, behaviors, day-to-day care, and long term treatments. After reading Coile's book and following some suggestions, our new Cavalier has become a wonderful family memeber in less than a week. To anyone who is thinking about adopting a cavalier to somebody who just did, this book is a must read!!!!

informative and well-written

I've read dozens of books written about dogs in the past few months and this is one of the best. Not only is it well-written, but the information is all pertinent to this breed. Many books feature a few chapters on the breed and the rest is just basic info on crate training, puppy behavior, etc. But Ms.Coile relates all these aspects to the particular needs of Cavs. Very helpful!
