Sportsmen on both sides of the Atlantic cherish the agile, energetic Brittany as a stylish and versatile gundog. Bright and eager at home, and tireless afield, Brittanys require a lot of exercises, preferably with their favorite humans.
About the Breed
The merry and frolicsome Cocker Spaniel, with his big, dreamy eyes and impish personality, is one of the world's best-loved breeds. They were developed as hunting dogs, but Cockers gained their wide popularity as all-around companions. Those big, dark eyes; that sweet expression; those long, lush ears that practically demand to be touched'no wonder the Cocker spent years as America's most popular breed. The Cocker is the AKC's smallest sporting spaniel, standing about 14 to 15 inches. The coat comes in enough colors and patterns to please any taste. The well-balanced body is sturdy and solid, and these quick, durable gundogs move with a smooth, easy gait. Cockers are eager playmates for kids and are easily trained as companions and athletes. They are big enough to be sporty, but compact enough to be portable. A Cocker in full coat rewards extra grooming time by being the prettiest dog on the block. These energetic sporting dogs love playtime and brisk walks.
The Queen made Corgis more popular during her reign, so now Prince Charles is king, I wonder if King Charles Spaniels will increase in sales? (This is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, which apparently are larger with a longer nose).

This morning I finished a special spaniel for a special friend and neighbour, Eileen 'Country Gal'! Well, I'm not sure if it's for her or her son, who has just had a milestone birthday (and it is his dog, Diggle!!). They will have to toss a coin, lol!!
Eileen and her family have been great neighbours from the day we moved in, more than 30 years ago. I was in two minds about doing this drawing, as her family are great at art too! But it was fun to draw a dog I actually know, in the flesh, so to speak! ^_^
