Attention All English Cocker Spaniel Owners: This authoritative guide is written by international groomer, show judge and Champion Cocker Spaniel breeder Mike Wildman.

Mike has devoted his life to all things dogs and has been fortunate enough to have worked in many roles and has made life long friends the world over. 

Grooming and showing is his passion. He started dog showing in 1990 and has won Champion Challenge Certificates for himself and other's in no less than 7 breeds, most noticeably with his Cocker Spaniels. He has amassed over 50 CCS with 5 of his own Show Champions. 

Mike says "this guide endeavours to highlight the grooming techniques required to achieve the show standard for the English Cocker Spaniel. Before you start grooming you should carefully assess the dog's construction and how it fares against the breed standard, this will help you understand where you need to adapt your style to make the dog look balanced and as close to the standard as possible."
