How to keep a Cocker spaniel busy
Bored dogs are often unhappy and can become stressed. Read on for some ideas to help you to keep your spaniel busy.
Cocker Spaniel
The playful and cheerful Cocker spaniel, with its expressive eyes and charming personality, ranks among the most beloved dog breeds worldwide.
Originally bred for hunting, Cockers became widely adored as versatile companions. With their large, soulful eyes, gentle expression, and irresistibly soft, long ears, it’s no surprise that the Cocker is one of the most popular breeds.
As the smallest of the sporting spaniels, Cockers stand around 14 to 15 inches tall. Their coats come in a variety of colours and patterns, offering something for every preference.
Cockers are well-proportioned, sturdy, and agile, moving with grace and ease. They make enthusiastic playmates for children and are easy to train, both as family pets and athletes.
Their size strikes a perfect balance—they’re sporty enough for outdoor adventures yet small enough to carry.
When well-groomed, a Cocker in full coat is undeniably one of the most beautiful dogs around. These lively dogs thrive on playtime and enjoy energetic walks, making them ideal companions for active families.
