Some more about the Cocker Spaniel -
This gorgeous companion breed is sweet, affectionate, and loyal. The Cocker Spaniel came to the United States in the 1870s from Spain, and the word spaniel means, “Spanish dog.” The Cocker Spaniel consists of two different breeds, one is the American Cocker Spaniel and the other is the English Cocker Spaniel. The English Cocker Spaniel is taller with a wider, flatter head, while the American Cocker Spaniel is smaller with a rounder face. The Cocker Spaniel breed is very adaptable and can live in apartments, condos, and small houses. They are excellent for new dog owners, but are very sensitive and do not do well being alone. This playful, snuggly, and tender breed does great with children, other dogs, and even strangers. The Cocker Spaniel is easy to train but early training and socialization is suggested. Due to the breed being so energetic, they do require lots of exercise and playtime. The Cocker Spaniel was bred to be a hunter and subsequently does have a high prey drive so it is suggested that they are on a leash if not in an enclosed fenced area. The Cocker Spaniel is in the Sporting Dog Breed Group, and is the smallest breed in that group. They are usually 14-15 inches high, typically weigh 24-28 pounds, and generally have a lifespan of 12-15 years.
