About the Cocker Spaniel
Cocker Spaniels are affectionate, cheerful companions with a talent for making themselves part of family life. They usually enjoy walks, play and exploring outdoors, but they also appreciate settling down close to their people at home. Their friendly nature can make them a lovely fit for families and households with other dogs when properly socialised. Their silky coat needs regular brushing and attention, and their enthusiasm benefits from consistent, positive training. A Cocker Spaniel can be a rewarding match for someone looking for a sociable, moderately active dog with plenty of warmth and personality.
