Cocker Spaniels will shed some. They need to be bathed regularly and brushed several times every week, but they would enjoy it everyday. The spaniel needs professional grooming every couple of months to keep his coat healthy and looking good. |
| It would be a good thing to walk your Cocker Spaniels everyday even if he has a yard. Cocker Spaniels are active and like to play games like hide and seek, fetch, and other activities like flyball, and agility, tracking, and obedience. |

These friendly dogs are often more interested in people than other dogs, so spending time with your Cocker Spaniel will make him a very happy canine! |
| Cocker Spaniels are very trainable. They love you and they want to learn from you. When you get a pup, let him get used to his new home. When he is a little older, you can start to take him places. |
|
 |
| Cockers are alert dogs and are very good at paying attention. This makes them fast learners in obedience. Teaching your dog obedience will help him become a good citizen and help him to have good manners. |

All About Cocker Spaniels
|
 |
She can be very cluttered with her toys because she leaves them everywhere. When I pick them all up and put them in her crate and shut the door without locking it, she will open the door with her claws. She is very well-behaved but she is terrified of bigger dogs unless she has known them as a puppy. She loves getting their tummies rubbed. Anonymous, Age 13, Nevada USA |

My dog, Molly (Cocker Spaniel), is two years old. She likes to play catch
and she likes belly rubs. She has two brothers and one sister. Her mom's
name is Milly. She loves to give kisses and she has sad eyes. Molly loves
to go for walks and when someone says walk or W-A-L-K she will go in the
closet where the leash is, and will start barking. So that is why I love
my dog. Allyson, Age 10, Ontario Canada |

I love my dog, Tanner (Cocker Spaniel), he is my best friend. He's cute
and cuddly, and if he ever leaves me then I'll be sad the rest of my life.

and I don't expect more from him! Katherine, Age 9, South Carolina

My dog, Ashley (American Cocker Spaniel), and I love going in the snow
when it snows. Ashley will eat the snow and then nudge some over to me
as if she was saying to me, "Eat it"! I love her and we do a
lot of stuff together. Whenever you play catch with her and then you stop,
she'll start to cry and you have to keep playing. Kristen, Age

Hi. I have 5 dogs called: Spunky, Bernie, Scottie, Whinny and Andrex. Spunky,
