A well-bred Cocker Spaniel is a pleasure to own. He is known for a merry, sound temperament.
His flowing coat is silky, flat or wavy, has a sturdy, compact body, and is loving and gentle, and he wants nothing more than to make his family happy.
Compared to other dogs in the Sporting Group, the Cocker is small (20 to 30 pounds), fitting comfortably into an apartment, condo, or a small home.
He is primarily a companion but is easily trained for the conformation show ring, obedience and agility competitions, and field work. He is also an excellent therapy dog.
If you are considering to own a cocker spaniel, or you’ve just become a new cocker spaniel owner, there are some realities you do need to fully accept.
Check out the twelve realities new cocker spaniel owners must accept on the next page! …and if you already are a cocker spaniel owner, see if you can relate!

I had a cocker spaniel and it was by far the best dog I ever had even though they have issues with their ears.

I’ve had 9 Cockers over 50 years, everyone of them a gem. The last 3 have lived over 16 years. I’ve got a 2 year old puppy now and I’m 73 so I expect she’ll be my last. Every one of these steps is true except the television one. They are the most loving, loyal dogs.

They love you so much and usually have a favorite person. They have a mind of their own and oh so smart! My Gracie is 10 years old and still acts like a puppy. She wants us to both be together with her.
