Not many problems here, but some nitpicks

• Please check consistency of style, Description and Temperament both switch from singular The in the first paragraph to plural they in the second, and temperament also changes in the course of the first para. There are others eslewhere, please check
• As a non specialist, I felt that there were terms used that needed a link or gloss, field lines, show line.
• Their goal is to find the bird, send it into the air and then to retrieve it on command. I assume that the bird is shot at some stage in this sequence?
• Can you assure me that Dogster.com is a reliable source? On the temperament in particular it is rather gushing and uncritical

Hopefully fixed everything apart from the Dogster issue - currently digging around for better sources although they might end up being in Russian - whilst there are a fair volume of English language pages linked from Google, most of them have the exact same text used over and over. Regarding the show/field links, I linked to the same pages as the English Cocker Spaniel article did. Miyagawa (talk) 17:24, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Ok, removed the Dogster.com reference and re-referenced as necessary. After reviewing it I wasn't confident that it was an adequate source. Miyagawa (talk) 18:56, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
