About the English Cocker Spaniel
English Cocker Spaniels are merry, affectionate sporting dogs with a distinctive domed head and long, silky ears. They are slightly larger and more athletic than their American cousins, retaining stronger hunting instincts. They are versatile dogs that excel both as field companions and family pets.
English Cockers are energetic and need regular exercise. They are eager to please and highly trainable, making them excellent obedience and agility competitors.
