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!

We love Crocker spaniels, we are on 5th one, which 4 have passed. They have been such good dogs, very smart, and no problems with shedding. We are thinking about getting a new one to go with Reese, for company.

Sandra, don’t give up.Having been thru the training with Casey, his last vestige of the aggression is occasionally against our older female. She’s so sweet, but now almost bling and sometimes intrudes on his space, walking into him etc. Gotta be careful there, but otherwise fine. I must admit we needed training also.
