English Cocker Spaniel

This dog gets along very well with other dogs, family pets, and children.

Daily exercise is a necessity, either in the form of a long walk on leash, a good run in the field or a lively game in the yard. The English cocker is such a social dog that she does best living inside and playing outside. The medium-length coat needs brushing two to three times per week, plus clipping around the head and ears scissoring around the feet and tail every two months. The ears should be cleaned weekly.

Three walks a day are usually enough to keep them happy, but they also need to have regular opportunities to run freely in the countryside. Most really enjoy swimming.

Regular grooming with a brush and comb is required, as the coat is prone to tangles. Special attention should be paid to the hair on the legs and ears. It may be necessary to take the dog to a grooming professional two - four times a year to have excess hair trimmed or plucked. The ears should be cleaned regularly.

With a consistent training, gentle, symphatetic, the wanted results can be achieved, because it is a submissive dog and understands pretty easy what is required.

This fur dog must brushed and combed regularly for not getting tangled. The hair grown in excess between the pads of the paws and from ears must be removed. If it is necessary, the fur must be cut 2-3 times per year by a specialist.

The English Cocker is recommended over the American Cocker Spaniel as a pet because breeding has been less indiscriminate. Cockers should be trained very gently, but firmly, as they are sensitive but also independent and intelligent. Can do well with cats
