Dog Breeds - Cocker Spaniel

The American Cocker Spaniel is a breed of dog that originated in the United Kingdom and was brought to Canada and the United States in the late 1800s. The signature trait of the American Cocker Spaniel is its dark, expressive eyes that reflect a happy, loving, and active nature. Cockers are a dropped eared breed and the mature Cocker has a full feathered, silky coat.

The Cocker's temperament is typically joyful, trusting, merry, outgoing, and eager to please. They're good with children and usually sociable and gentle with other pets. They tend to be "softer" dogs who do not do well with rough or harsh training.

American Cocker Spaniels are susceptible to a variety of maladies, particularly infections affecting their ears and, in some cases, their eyes. As a result, they may require more medical attention than some other breeds.
