Oh Cocker Spaniels… the beautiful, sweet-natured and moderately sized dogs that are ever so popular among dog owners….
Is it because of their loving, affectionate and gentle personality? or all of the above?
Beautiful to look at (and labor-intensive to groom), the Cocker’s amenable, cheerful disposition also makes him a treat to have in the family.
Never more pleased than when he’s pleasing you, he’s as happy to snuggle on the couch with his favorite adults as to romp in the yard with the kids.
But as popular as they’ve become, you might be shocked to know that they are the worst dogs to live with… and there are 19 reasons for it.
Check out the 19 reasons why Cocker Spaniels are the worst dogs to live with on the next page:

Well I couldn’t read the 19 reasons, but, some I can guess at. Our two live outside in kennels but we swear one of them has a watch. He barks at getting up time – to the minute and at dinner time (evening). They howl at any kind of siren and bark at planes. Will play fetch until your arm falls off and are very bossy. They are great fun, make us laugh, are affectionate, love chasing any type of bird but mainly pheasants. Infuriating, lovable, happy little chaps. We wouldn’t be without them.

The only fault all spaniels have is that they are thieves. You never see them take it but if you miss lay anything check the bed first.
