Breed Information

The American Cocker Spaniel is a popular breed - and with their big brown eyes, affectionate attitude and luscious coat, it�s easy to see why! Most certainly a companion breed, the Cocker will quickly become a loved member of your family.

SIZE
The male American Cocker Spaniel ideally stands at 38.1cms and the female at 35.6cms. They can happily live indoors but require regular walks and lots of play time.

COAT
The American Cocker Spaniel has a medium length, silky coat over its body, with short, fine hair on the head. There are a variety of colours available, such as black, reds, brown and tan; parti-colours (two or more colours).

CHARACTER & TEMPERAMENT
With a nickname like the �merry Cocker�, you can imagine the happy, playful attitude this breed possesses. Cockers are clever and loyal, and desire to be taken in as part of a �pack�. They are very much a companion breed, so if you are looking for an affectionate best friend, look no further.
They get along well with school age children but aren�t very tolerant of toddlers.
While your Cocker may bark as someone approaches the front door, their friendly attitude prevents the American Cocker Spaniel from being a very good watch dog.

CARE
The American Cocker Spaniel is a great companion for those who enjoy grooming, requiring a 20 minute brush every other day. When shedding, the hair will get caught in the soft feathering and must be brushed out to avoid knots. Be sure to begin this grooming at a young age so the pup learns to love it and sees brushing as quality time spent with you. The hair on the ears grows quite long and will need to be professionally clipped at least twice a year.
With such a loyal and affectionate attitude, it�s unadvisable to leave your Cocker alone for long periods of time. They crave human company and will grow depressed and destructive if they become lonely, so only consider an American Cocker Spaniel if you are looking to add a member to your family.

TRAINING
With their �scattered�, easily distracted temperament, the American Cocker Spaniel benefits from a daily routine that includes regular obedience training. Training should begin from a young age and �house rules� set from the start.
With such an insatiable appetite, Cockers respond well to reward based training and are best motivated by the lure of tasty treats.

ACTIVITY
The American Cocker Spaniel is a high-energy breed and requires daily exercise to stay happy. A brisk walk and a game of fetch best suits the Cocker Spaniel thanks to the breed�s hunting heritage.
If left alone in the backyard the Cocker Spaniel can grow bored and will try its best to escape to chase more interesting adventures. If they must be left alone, provide them with plenty of toys and boredom busters.
