The purpose of this article is to improve the public’s knowledge about dogs, the Cocker Spaniel in particular. Many people decide that they want a dog based off of appearance alone. While this may not be a terrible thing to do if the person has the ability to accommodate all types of dogs, for some individuals the care for specific types of dog breeds is not possible. The best way to avoid any surprises after the adopting or purchase of a dog is to understand the breed and what it takes to care for it. We will go over some of the basic characteristics of the Cocker Spaniel to help you get a better understanding of the Cocker Spaniel as a breed and possibly a new addition to your family.

The Cocker Spaniel is very easy going in some respects and quite demanding in others. At about 15 inches tall and only about 28 lbs in weight, the Cocker Spaniel is not a very large dog so is therefore not demanding by way of feeding. The cocker is however a very demanding dog in the grooming department. When groomed and maintained nicely, this breed has a beautiful long silky coat, but at the same time, if left unkempt the coat will become a disheveled mess of hair clumps. The Cocker Spaniel is by nature a very friendly and happy dog which enjoys having a large area to exercise, but can also adapt to small suburban or even downtown settings.
