The English Cocker Spaniel is a dog breed that was artificially bred in the early nineteenth century. Initially, the main task in breeding this breed was to create an ideal hunting dog. In 1902, the breed was officially recognized, in addition, strict standards were set for it, which greatly complicated further breeding, but today the requirements for representatives of the English Cocker Spaniel breed have changed a lot.

The birthplace of the breed is England, although it quickly spread throughout the world.

Mobile and active dogs, constantly finding all kinds of entertainment for themselves. They are alien to the state of rest, they are naturally curious. Loyal to their master, ready for self-sacrifice. Friendly and affectionate, they get along well with children, even small ones. English Cocker Spaniels are distinguished by a lively mind and ingenuity. Able to move at considerable speed, combined with great stamina.

This is my friend's dog.

Our 6 year old rescue Springer Spaniel

Happy wet Spaniel, hell bent on getting every one else wet too. We love to take our Dog to Carsington Water, which is near Ashbourne in Derbyshire, England.

Away from the grey of slate quarries, Darcy and I met a flock of four spaniels on a quick walk around Biddulph Grange Country Park. What beautiful dogs.

The American Water Spaniel, native to the lake country of the upper Midwest, is an upbeat, outdoorsy athlete who loves to hunt and swim. They are known to be happy, eager, and charming, though aloof with strangers and a bit stubborn.

The tallest of the AKC's spaniels, the Irish Water Spaniel is instantly recognizable by its crisply curled coat and tapering 'rat tail. Among the champion swimmers of dogdom, the alert and inquisitive IWS is hardworking and brave in the field, and playfully affectionate at home.

Camera club last night - my first stab at pet photography, which was surprisingly good fun.
