S. Lloyd and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbert Summers Lloyd MBE, (April 1, 1887 - January 26, 1963), known commonly as H. S. Lloyd, was best known for being a breeder of show English Cocker Spaniels. He remains the most successful breeder/owner at Crufts, having won Best in Show on six occasions in the 1930s and 1940s. This monograph on the breed has been written at the request of many friends who have urged me to endeavour to place before the novice and newcomer to the breed a simply-written book dealing with the subject from a practical standpoint. I make no claims to any literary genius, but the information contained herein has been gathered through a lifetime's experience of the dog I love. It is my sincere hope that this volume may prove of some assistance, and if it gives as much pleasure to the reader as it did to me in its compilation I am amply rewarded.
