Advantages: friendly, loving

Disadvantages: maintaining there coat and ears become knotted!

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 but he gradually stopped and instead tends to snooze a lot more now. We trained him from a puppy and he is house trained and can also do a number of tricks.

Cocker spaniels need maintaing...there fur can bcome knotted so you have to make sure that you regularly wash them and occasionally bath them. They need cutting every few months... more so in the summer as they become very hot. Oscar eats basically anything but dog food is his normal diet. Oscar has had no health problems...touch wood.

If you are thinking about getting a cocker spaniel, i would really recommend it as they make a great loving and caring family pet.

Summary: lovely friendly dogs. great fun
