Book Reviews of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals)
Book Review: Great way to pass the time while waiting to take your puppy home
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has lots of helpful information for Cavaliers specifically and dogs in general. It's a nice length -- not too short or long, has wonderful pictures, and is very easy to read.
I think every first time Cavalier owner should read it before their dog comes home.
Book Review: great book
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book you will not need to buy another. Its a must have full of info. Love it!!!Book Review: Best Breed Specific All Around Manual for Everyone who Loves Cavaliers
Summary: 5 Stars
I found that this book was very correct in most everything it said. Being a breeder myself I am always looking for a good book to send home with my new puppy owner's. I have found it in this book. Every puppy gets this book in their care package and their owner's just love it. The lineage chart is absolutely wonderful. This book has so much information in it that most books do not. All in all this in an excellent book. I give it five stars, more if I could.

Book Review: Want to start a Cavalier Club for the greater Dallas area
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been searching for a Cavalier Club in the Dallas area and was unable to find one. I'd like to start a club for All the Cavi owners in Dallas. If interested in joining email me at madihabeg@gmail.com. If you know of an existing club in this area, I would appreciate contact info.
And this is a great book for new owners.
Book Review: syringohydromyelia in Cavaliers--important
Summary: 2 Stars
Please note that this may have been a great book when it was written in 1999, but how any review in 2005 can recommend this book with four stars is beyond me. A very serious genetic disorder in Cavaliers has become TOO common and is found in all bloodlines. This disease, which did not become widely identified in Cavaliers until 2003, should be thoroughly researched by anyone interested in acquiring a Cavalier. It is not in this book. Go into this with your eyes wide open. We love our Cavalier and would not trade him for anything. But he has had major brain surgery at a prestigious university vet hospital, pre- and post-surgical MRI's, and is on expensive medication 3 times daily. He cannot be walked on a leash because of pain, even with the medication. If you want "cutesy" information, buy a book. If you want real information, go on-line.
Added from Cavalier Health on 9/13/2006: "Researchers conservatively estimate that at least 50% of CKCSs have occipital hypoplasia (or caudal occipital malformation syndrome -- COMS), the skull bone malformation believed to cause syringomyelia."
