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 would but my Dolly is very sick. She has dementia and is getting worse every day. I have a very hard decision to make and I am having a hard time making it. When—-when to give her relief from the confusion she is in. (This picture is from a year or so ago). She is nearly 13 years old. I thought I would have her a couple of more years.

We have an even year old cocker spaniel that has been pretty healthy his whole life. For the last year he has recurring chronic ear infections. Right now he is taking 4 oral meds for allergies and antibiotics. The vet has been packing his ears with antibiotic ointment every two weeks for the last 6 weeks. The smell from his ears is terrible! Does anyone have any suggestions to help Smokey out? Thanks!
