Cocker Spaniels
Exhibited in the US since the 1880’s, the Cocker Spaniel remains one of the most popular breeds according to AKC registration statistics. The Cocker had a sturdy compact body and a silky, flat or wavy coat. He is a merry, well-balanced dog that is capable of considerable speed and great endurance. Cocker Spaniels can be black, black with tan points, parti-colored or any solid color other than black (ASCOB).
Despite their small size, the Cocker Spaniel is still an active Sporting breed that needs daily exercise. Regular brushing and a trim every few months helps keep the coat free of mats. Cockers are intelligent, gentle dogs that thrive as apart of a family.
