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.
Here we have Stan & Oli relaxing on holiday just outside our Caravan. They love going on holiday and keep busy but this is a shot taken during some down time.
Took Tara out for a walk the other night and with the light just right I managed to capture this image. Really happy with the results.
Met this adorable dog on our walk today wearing a red kerchief. His paws were white and huge, so I suspect. he might have been a mix of another breed. He sure loved being petted and was not shy at all.
