Staffordshire Spaniels (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780764302169)

Also included are the historical context into which these Spaniels fit, background on the Staffordshire potteries and canine statuary, molding processes, decorating techniques, Spaniel types and sizes, tips for collectors, and a helpful glossary.
