COCKER SPANIEL PUPPIES

MALE COCKER SPANIEL JASPER 22 Champions in his Pedigree

Country of Origin: The Cocker Spaniel originates in England. Since the 1930's, the American Cocker Spaniel and English Cocker Spaniel are recognized as distinct breeds (the American Cocker Spaniel is smaller, has a shorter muzzle and a domed more rounded head). The Cocker Spaniel was reared to flush small prey from the brush for hunters. The name 'Cocker' is derived from woodcock, a bird the Cocker Spaniel was particularly adept at finding.

WE RAISE AMERICAN COCKER SPANIELS

Size: The Cocker Spaniel is (15- 16.5 in) in shoulder height and weighs (18-29 lbs). Cocker Spaniels have long, hanging ears and a round head with a square jaw. Their back is short and the body tightly framed. The Cocker Spaniel has straight front legs and the tail is typically docked.

Coat: The Cocker Spaniel has smooth hair of medium length. The hair should never be curly. The Cocker Spaniel coat may be a variety of colors: black, silver, cream, red, or brown, or a mix of another color with white. Non-black coats are known as ASCOB (Any Solid Color Other than Black). White, black, and cream coats are most common.

Character: Cocker Spaniels are intelligent, cheerful, lively and affectionate. They are very loyal to family, and love to play. The Cocker Spaniel is frequently merry and always ready to please. It makes a terrific pet and/or a fine hunting companion.

Temperament: Cocker Spaniels get along well with children and other dogs or household pets. They should be exposed to pets and children when young for maximum social potential. The Cocker Spaniel is very joyous and energetic, enjoying play. It sometimes likes to bark. The Cocker Spaniel requires plenty of attention, love, and devotion, and if it feels its not getting enough it will come looking.

Care: Cocker Spaniels must be brushed and combed thoroughly on a regular basis, preferably daily. The Cocker Spaniel is susceptible to ear infections, and sometimes eye infections and cherry eyes. The ears should be cleaned frequently. Cocker Spaniels have a lifespan of 10-12 years.

Training: The Cocker Spaniel is quite willing to learn, so training must be consistent but not overly firm.

Activity: This breed also needs to run freely in the countryside on occasion. Most Cocker Spaniels love to swim.
