English Cocker Spaniels are more lively than American Cocker Spaniels, so they need more exercise. They get along well with strangers, children, and other pets. They're sometimes hard to housebreak. The English Cocker Spaniel is a sporting dog. In general, sporting dogs are active and alert and require daily exercise. Because they have superior instincts in the water and woods, sporting dogs are often used for hunting. If exercised and properly trained, most sporting dogs make excellent pets. However, some of these dogs like to bark and whine a lot, so they're not suited for apartment life. Origin: Great Britain Height: 15" -17" Weight: 26-34 pounds Coat: Silky, longer hair on the chest, stomach, legs, throat, and tail. Tail docked. Colors: Blue roan, solid black and solid tan. Also available in particolors and tricolors. Eyes dark brown in dark-colored dogs, and hazel in light-colored dogs. Nose is either black or brown. Special Consideration: Since this breed isn't as well-known as the American Cocker Spaniel, it hasn't been exploited as much, so healthy puppies are easier to find. |
