    We’ve had four in the last 16 years (we believe in keeping a pair). Each different personalities, and all were or are loving dogs. One does an aggression problem, yet was trained out of it. Have fallen in love with the breed and will have more if I live long enough.

    I clearly remember our vet telling us that cocker spaniels were noted for ear problems. My wife faithfully cleaned her ears every night which made a big difference. Many tumors finally got the best of her, but we enjoyed every minute she was with us….
