Just one gaze into the
expressive eyes of an American Cocker Spaniel, and most
folks are hooked. This sweet, sensitive and intelligent
breed is as loyal and companionable as it is beautiful and
adorable.
Originally developed as a gun
dog for hunting water fowl, the American Cocker has found
it's way into the hearts and homes of loving families
world-wide. The Cocker Spaniel is an inseparable friend of
children, and respectful of its master's authority without
much challenge. Merry and endearing, this happy tail wagger
is gentle, trusting, intelligent, lively, playful and
devoted. Cockers need people to be happy and love everyone.
Although they can be a
challenge to house break and some like to bark, Cockers are
fairly easy to train, provided the training is consistent
and early. Cockers get along well with cats and other
animals, and make exceptional family pets. They do equally
well in the city or the country, provided that they are
given daily exercise. The long, silky, baby-fine coat
requires daily brushing to keep it lustrous and tangle-free.
