The English Cocker


The neatly packaged, moderately sized English Cocker was developed by breeders who wanted a small gundog suitable for use in dense undergrowth. As the breed's popularity as a companion increased, standards evolved emphasizing temperament and coat texture. Today's English Cocker is a lovable creature especially suited to the family home.

COMPACT AND MUSCULAR
The English Cocker's compact body is surprisingly well muscled under its dense protective coat and is set on well-boned, sturdy legs. A double coat of hair protects the forelegs and the thick pads on the feet are protected by dense hair between the toes.

GENTLE-LOOKING AND DIGNIFIED
There is no coarseness to an English Cocker; its expression is invariably soft and accommodating. Even when actively alert, its low-set ears and warm eyes make it heart-melting attractive.

A STURDY, WELL-PROPORTIONED BODY
The English Cocker's desire to retrieve, and its compact, insulated body make it ideal for working in dense undergrowth. Its willingness to respond to command also suits working to the gun or obedience training. Its luxurious coat, gentle expression, and convenient size make it equally attractive as a popular companion.
