A HOME-LOVING HUNTER
American and English Cocker Spaniels share a lovable nature and easygoing disposition that make them ideal companions in the home. Their willingness to please and considerable obedience skills have also led to substantial success at the highest levels in the show ring, but that does not mean that their hunting and retrieving characteristics have been abandoned. You only have to watch an energetic Cocker at play in the countryside to recognize its working roots.
THE PERFECT COMPANION
A "merry breed" is how the Cocker Spaniel has been described for hundreds of years and this is now even etched into hallowed pages of the breed standard. Bred initially for driving game from undergrowth, Cockers are still adept in field trials today, exhibiting an extremely high standard of work. Even American Cockers bred for the show ring have retained the sturdy physical features of their working ancestors under their lavish coats. But it's the Cocker's loyalty and friendship that really stand out, and it is debatable whether there is a finer all-round companion in the canine world.
