Cocker Spaniels

Cocker Spaniels without question are the best medium sized dog around. So good infact that I own one. They give unconditional love to their owners and make excellent pets. They require a great deal of excercise to try to burn off some of there excess energy (if they were children they would be deamed to have ADHD or hyperactivity). Spaniels are almost crazy if they are left without stimulous so constant attention is required. I would not recommend any dog for those who work full time or work away from the home but Cocker Spaniels are a definate no no!! When you get a cocker spaniel puppy they are very easily trained. Hovever do not be surprised by ...  Read the complete review

I have been an owner of a Tri coloured cocker spaniel for two years now, and have found that they make friendly and loyal family pets. As a new pup, being introduced to a new home it took a couple of months to get used to a routine, but as a new dog owner I would say much was the same for myself as well. Spaniels are people lovers, they love the company of familiar people around them, so a potential owner should be aware that these types of dogs, as with most will need a lot of your time and attention, being left alone for long periods of time isn't really ideal, so if no one is going to be at home with your dog for example if you work full time, seriously consider ...  Read the complete review

I have had Oscar, my cocker spaniel, since he was a puppy. I struggled to choose him from his brothers and sisters as they were all so gorgeous but he seemed to be the most mischevious one and kept approaching us every time we went to visit ( he was too small to take home when we first chose him so we visited a few times before we could take him). I got oscar last september so he has just turned one and he is still as mischeivous as he was before but he is a really good dog. Cocker spaniels are loving, cute and clever. However, make sure that they know who the boss is straight away as they can become cheeky. At first, Oscar used to bite everything ...  Read the complete review

There are two types of Spaniel, the English Cocker Spaniel and the American Cocker Spaniel. Although I do not have a cocker spaniel, I am planning on getting one as soon as I have a house. My friends got a black cocker spaniel at Christmas called Charlie and I love him to pieces! Charlie was quiet for the first couple of days after being introduced to his new home as he was a little nervous. It wasnt long however before he was becoming mischevious and lovable and showing his adorable personality. Cocker spaniels are relatively easy to train and within two days of being with my friends he was barking to be let outside when he needed to ...  Read the complete review

Well - I have talked at length about Moses ( my Collie cross), Bingo, my Cairn Terrier and mentioned Mollie, my Yorkie. But now, at the risk of boring the pants off non-dog lovers, I would like to tell you a bit about my Black and white Cocker Spaniels; Nelson and Monty, both of which were as different as chalk is from cheese, especially in the health department. But First, a little about Spaniels in general. Essentially, there are ten spaniel breeds, but the four most familiar breeds are; the Springer, King Charles, English Cocker and American Cocker Spaniel. Of the four breeds, the Springer is the most bouncy and energetic, the King Charles ...  Read the complete review
