English Cocker Spaniel Information
English Cocker Spaniel Description:The exact origin of the English Cocker Spaniel is unknown. However, it is believed to be one of the oldest types of Spaniels which was brought to England almost five centuries ago. Until 1892, the Cocker Spaniel or the English Cocker Spaniel was regarded as the same breed as the Springer Spaniel. In the olden days, it was primarily used as a gundog used for flushing small game such as birds, rabbits etc. In fact, the breed derives its name from a bird named Cocker, since the breed is known to be adept at flushing out the bird. The English Cocker Spaniel was first recognized by the AKC in 1946. |
English Cocker Spaniel Care & Grooming:The English Cocker Spaniel is an average shedder. Its coat type varies so regular grooming is required to keep its coat healthy. Combing and brushing of the coat with a firm bristle brush at least 3-4 times a week is required to remove dead hair and prevent matting of the coat. It should be bathed only when necessary and needs to be dried properly after each bath. Its low hanging ears tend to get infections so proper care should be taken to clean the ears regularly. Hair around its paws needs to be trimmed regularly. |
