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!

Careful about bad breeding. Bad skin, ear problems and also bad temperament. Been a groomer for 20+ years. Overbred big time.

I’ve had 3 Cocker kids and love them all dearly. Bailey Owen, Hailey Autumn & Casey Angel. Bailey & Hailey passed but I thank God everyday that I have my Casey girl. She is my everything.

We had our first cocker spaniel, Rusty for 15 years. We had to say goodbye almost 3 years ago in June. We’ve had a sweet German Shepherd for about 6 years now. We can’t wait until the time is right to get another. Our GS is 10, 11 in June.

My 6th and 7th cockers. Brother and sister a bit over 13 months old. He is a sweetheart. She is the devil in disguise. Just love them to no end, as I did all the previous cockers. Personality plus and pure love, when they are not into everything.
