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 was going to say “You will never regret your decision”, but then I realised that there will be one huge regret, but it doesn’t come around until about 14 to 16 years from now.

Have you gotten a second opinion from a different vet? Cockers have bad ears but my swim all the time and I have to keep them dry and clean. Vet told me to use swimmer ear from drug store weekly and every time they get in water. I have had 8 cockers with one going deaf cause of an inter ear infection she was 15. Good luck

Did you look on puppy finder? It’s best if you can find a family that just breeds their in house dogs instead of puppy mill breeders.

Epiotic. Its over the counter, squirt some in every couple of days.
Keep the underside of her ears shaved.
And definitely get on a high protein, grain free diet.

Oh, do! They are the best dogs!
And check out your local rescues, even if you want a puppy. Rescues have purebred and puppies.
