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 dog Teazel simply adores chasing after her ball among the crunchy autumn leaves (she's less fussed when they're all soggy!). It's a pretty good spot for autumn clours too :)
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.
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.
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.
Lyra .. a spaniel ... needless to say Auntie Elk has gone off to a quiet corner in the hope that she wouldn't be discovered!! (spaniels ... far too unpredictable)
Dog Day Monday: Today I give you the newest image that I've posted on DDM, Tory, the English Spaniel that I met just last week at R. B. Garden. He was (is) beautiful, and as I guessed correctly, had just been groomed that morning. Park of his coast was so white, that I just coudn't find the correct exposure of EF and, every time he turned toward the sun, I'd get a flash back.
I asked the owner about Tory. First I asked if he was a special breed of Spaniel because almost all that I've ever seen at white, black, and chestnut while this guy was white and black only. As you can see by the sheen on the black part of his coat, they must have put something on him as the lat part of grooming that made him ... shine!
Tory is only two years old, is rather stainj, but " a lot of fun with the family, but not so much with "outsiders." That became apparent when none of my charms worked on him. It took almost 15 shots to get a picture that would capture the essence that is Tory. And yes, that is the essence of Tory.
