The Cocker Spaniel is primarily a beloved companion dog breed, though he remains a capable bird dog at heart.
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.
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Cocker Spaniels are no exception!
But sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted. There are important life lessons that are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, that all Cocker Spaniel owners must never forget.
If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Cocker Spaniel owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…
Check out the 20 Things All Cocker Spaniel Owners Must Never Forget on the next page:

Phoebe is just like this: jumping up when you come home, loves nothing more than sitting next to me or on me (yesterday she sat on my back while I was sunbathing), loves her back being scratched, and loves getting muddy and has such a happy demeanour 🙂

Love my Buddy. He’s made of velcro and love. He’s always up for an adventure or having a snoring contest in my ear.

My girl Trixie – had to let her go in Sept. At 15-1/2- best dog I have ever had – cocker spaniels are very special & you won’t know that until you have one!

My girl Trixie – had to help her to the Bridge in September after – 15-1/2 years of love & companionship. Cocker spaniels are very special dogs – people really don’t realize it until they have one! I will miss her for the rest of my life.

This is my baby girl (14 years old) when we lost her last year to kidney failure. I was planting in the gatden Sunday, crying like a baby because she was my hole digger, I would point to where I wanted the hole, she would dig the perfect hole. Not quite a year since she crossed the bridge but still very heartbroken. We were with her when she took her last breath, I couldnt send her off on her journey alone. Miss you every day Snookers.
